"a friend In need Ii a friend In
deed" So was Maysville Methodist
Episcopal Church when II repeated, Its
history of hospitality to the Annual
Conference Of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. Pastor II unit, officials,
laity choir, and sexton have satisfied
our wants, and anticipated our wishes.
The other churches have been fra
ternally gracious to us. The Presby-
terrain temple across the way has been
an especially accommodation to us.
We were told that the business men
have greatly facilitated our entertain
ment. Jesus taught that they who
leave home for his sake shall find
many other homes. So, here, as In
other fields of labor we have found
the prophecy fulfilled. There was no
room for Him In the inn, but his Cos
pei has opened the inns Of Maysville
to us. We not only enjoyed the diet,
but the bathtubs too. 1t Is not inyid-
eous to the other excellencles of our
entertainment to emphasize our APP
probation of the noon day banquets at
the church. All the wOman's grace,
kindness, culinary skill and bounty
could do for us was combined In the
midday repasts.
BY giving us these pleasant hours
they enriched our treasures OF men,
DRY. The dining tables Of Maysville
has been more conclusive proof to
us of Mason county's fertile soil than
the exhaustive statement Of the Cham
Der of Commerce Give me ocular
proof said Shakespeare. You gave
us that, and the paltable proof too.
Chambers of Commerce are admirable
agents to promote exchange of COM
modties, but man must commercial
ize by way of his youth when he would
extract the ultimate benefits from the
fat of the land" The best of 1t all
is that you enjoyed having us for the
welcome Of the host Is the best sauce"
To one and all of our benefactors we
are heartily grateful. There is an
other feature of entertainment which
we exceptionally appreciate. The last
time we were guests in your homes
Maysville was blighted with the moral
malaria of saloons. Maysville with
saloons and the drunken rowdyism
which they engendered might be mere
congenial to "lew fellows of the baser
sort" than dry town would be, but
surely anyone who has tasted the fruit
of Gods spirit love, Joy, peace, ETC.,
and has the love of God shed abroad in
the heart which rejoiced in the truth
would not expect otherwise than that
we should rejoice in the vastly i'm
proved atmosphere which the extinc-
ton of the saloons has wrought in
Maysville The Punishment of yell
low fever from the Southern cities
was no greater benefit to them than
the explosions of saloons has been to
Maysville.
The consecutive presidencies of
Bishop William F. Anderson over our
Conferences have vindicated to us the
wisdom of the policy, have shown the
fitness of character, ability, and &C
complishments for his sacred trust,
and above all have endeared him to us
as Christion brother. The latch
string of the Conference hangs out for
his return. May we all live long and
we'll enough to be guests of Maysville
again in the coming year!

These resolutions were adopted by
standing vote of the Conference.
President Hughes of Moores Hill
College addressed Conference at
length on educational matters.
The report of the Board of Stewards
was read. 1t too showed, great gains
in many of the collections of the
church. An offering by the Sunday
schools of the Conference to the Red
Cross of 1871 was announced.
1t was seen that it would be impos-
sible to complete the business of the
Conference before the noon hour so
upon the return of the Bishop it was
decided to adjourn until lis p. m.
Promptly at the hour the Confer
ence reconvened. After the reading
and approval of the journal Revs. F.
w. Harrop and DR.. Eason were named
as fraternal delegates to the Kentucky
and Louisville Conferences respec-
lively of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South.
AS is the custom at each Conference
an offering was taken for the benefit
of the Sexton of the church. Quite a
nice sum was given.
DR.. Hancher then addressed the
Conference in the interest of the Jubi-
lee campaign for funds for Union Col
lege. Dr. Hancher is one of the great
est forces in the church for raising |
funds for education. His plans were !
business like, practical, and if enter
ed into heartily can be pushed to a
successful conclusion. After the adj
dress the Conference adopted by I'M
vote the proposition to begin
a campaign for 100000 for Union Col
lege.
Dr., E. W. Lettersman of the New
England Conference was introduced.
II was ordered that the narchments |
