WRITES Of LITTLE
 ROCK CONFERENCE
Pine Bluff Pastor Tells of Session Recently Held at
 Philadelphia.
(By Theodore Copoland)

The recent annual session of this body was by every token a notable occasion. One thing that strongly impressed me was the fact that this is growing conference. It is com posed of strong noble men, wno are loyal to Christ. consecrate" to his service and thoroughly furnished un- to every good work.
 Bishop Mouzon made a favorable impression on the conference. In his public utterances and official admin istration he gave evidence of gifts and equipment commensurate with his responsible office. The Bishops address on Christian Education cvok- ed many complimentary comments. It was indeed a master piece, buttlcss- ed with invinciblc logic and feverent with impassionod eloquencc. Ills sermon on Sunday found a deep re- sponse in many faithful hearts, for it broadened the vision and intcnsi- fled the zeal of his hearers. We like him and would be delighted to have him returned to us next year.
 pr. H. M DuBose. the able editor of the Methodist Review was wcl-
  the interest of our session bv his speech on Christ Extension. In tle realm of literature Dr. DuBose has no superior in the ranks of Mctho- dism supplementing the great work of Bishop McTyerire is timely and full of interest.
 < Dr. Stonewall Anderson favored Us with his presence and edificd the conference with his stirring appeal for Christian education.
 The entire work on the year proved in every way was satisfactory. Mis- sions. Church, Extension. Education. Sunday shools. Epworth leasues, aud other topics were carefully consider ed by the respective committees. and freely discussed on the conference floor. There was strong evidence of progress in the past and a hopeful outlook for the new year
 This conference is specially inter- ested ill our institutions of learning, all of which are doing excellent work and most of which are embarrassed for lack of financial strength. It is q matter of history that the small, struggling, denominational colleges have in a large measure furnished tho men and women who are leaders in church and state.
 This conference has elected a strong delegation to the general conference, which will convene in 1918. Dr. A. C. Millar the chairman, and all the others arc men who have understand ing at the times to know what Israel ought to do. and ali the In >r .,l, ,,s;l l,, i,n1, safe in their hands.
 The presiding Elders gave sratiiy- ing reports of their several districts, and are lolking forward to greater conque.,ts in the wears to come. There were many gracious re- vivals throughout the conference and d large number of converts were al- ded to the cAurch.
 The resolution requesting the gen eral conference of 1929 to hold it's session at Hot Springs was highly ap- proprate. By reason of ito central location, it's scenic beauty it's de- lishtful climate and it's hcaliuS wat CTS, Hot Springs is an ideal place for that great assembly, Having been pastor of Central church l know from personal experiences that the citizens of Hot Springs cannot be surpassed for genuine Hospitality. and their interest i'll every good cause
 Philadelphia entertained us in the style of old time southern hospitality The good people spared no pains to make their guests comfortable. lt any brother did not have a @ood home and plenty to eat he kept very quiet about it. It was my good lortuuN tc he placed in the beautiful home ol Mrs Joe Moore, also entertained nr r. C. Fletcher and nr. nulfoSe. The memory of our sweet and sacred as sociation will finger lhrou Sh all com ing years.
