c. NJ. e. ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
, The Second Annual Conference of
: the @. M. %. CT lrch in Ohio, the
1Iy Ill 4.
was planned to meet in Mt Sterling,
Kentucky, October 23 was postponed
!; to November on account of the
Influenza epidemic. However four
days before that date Bishop G. III.
| Phillips, ID. D., President of the Con-
! ference was notified that tho meeting
, could not be held there for tho ban
was on. Ohio was lifting the ban
| by cities at tho discretion Of local
, boards.
J Dayton being among tho first to
open, the Bishop requested Rev. Fl.
; T.. Harris to take care Of the Con-
; ference. He returned tho word,
:, welcome, prepared the people, tho
church and in such short timo gave
! rs royal and comfortable entertain
ment as we have had any place. He
!, is the emergency man.
. Bishop Phillips has just returned
! from California Conference and af-
ter opening tho conference in usual
form gave many interesting points
about the West. Tho future Is good
: there for our church and race. Mrs.
; Phillips was at the good Bishops
side. AS this was his first conference
a., since the wedding they received a
, cordial welcome and congratulations.
; This was not only in words but in
Z. presentations, Of silverware, silver
dollars and greenbacks. Mrs. J. l..

Missionary Society spoke for the
women. She said, eve love Bishop
Mrs. Phillips, for they are insepara-
BILE. Mrs. Phillips is a scholar,
teacher and missionary. Long live
Bishop Phillips and Madam Phil
lips"
The loyalty Of the church, faith.
fulness and skill Of the pastors were
very evident for regardless Of the Flu
we lost no funds. When the Bishop
announced that a committee from
Germany was on its way to Paris to
sign the armistico we knew that
meant the cessation Of ho3tll;ties and
finally the World Peace. All re
joiced, shonted and thanked Eoc for
victory.
Another demonstration was mani.
tested when Ohio went dry. The c.
NJ. T.. Church has endeavored to do
it's bit in these matters. AS the
thousands Of race people come from
tho South to the sections where they
better their conditions we have been
housing them as church. AS q
result we have a new district, the
Ohio. Cleveland is sample. The
membership has gone from 1870 to
400. Pastors salary $500 to $1,000
They have just purchased 1000
church property, 46 Cedar Street
With host OF God-fearing mis-
sionary women, able preachers, led
by the Right Rev. Charles III. Phil
lips, A. NJ, M. D., D. D., LII. D
we shall contribute our share in Cos
pelizing and Educating our people
for tho new day which has dawned
upon us.
