Successful Session OF
Colorado Annual
Conference At
Boulder, Colo.

The closing of the thirtyfirst ses-
sion of the Colorado annual confer
ence at Boulder last Sunday afternoon
marked an important event in the his
tory of African Methodism in the mid
die west. The attendance was full
throughout the sessions, the reports
showed marked progress, both ma
terial and spiritual, and the entertain
ment was all that could have been ex-
pected in a city whose colored popu-
lation was many times greater than
that of Boulder Rev. A. Wayman
Ward and his congregation proved
themselves royal hosts, for aside from
the usual courtesies shown on such
occasions, the Commercial club of
Boulder was induced to give the conf
erence an auto sightseeing trip in
Guiding all the points of interest in
the city Bishop H. B. Parks was in
the finest spirit and he presided over
the deliberations in such an impartial
and fatherly manner as to ingratitate
himself more deeply in the hearts of
his brethren The dollar report from
the conference showed an increase of
$159.50 of which the Rocky Mountain
district under the leadership of Rev.
r. L. Pope, came in for $11S.50. De-
spite the fact that Rev, ]. P. Howard
of the Albuquerque district had been
confined to his bed for three months,
the reports from this division were
above the average. The Womans
Mite Missionary Society reported
$616.5O and a drive was begun to re-
port 100000 at the next session of
the conference, at Campbell Chapel,
Denver. This society elected the fol-
