Olivier Street; Phone, Algiers 1873.
Last Sunday marked the beginning
of the new Conference year in the
Louisiana Annual Conference. There
were several changes in the New Or
leans pulpits. Rev. w. W. Holes, who
has been presiding elder for four
years, is transferred to Lake Charles,
where he is to be pastor of the Broad
Street Church; Rev. R. NJ Brown
goes to Oakdale, Rev. A. ]. Gearheard
to Bogalusa and Rev. w. H. Mangham
to Bernice.
Rev. John G. Smelling is moved from
Ruston, where he has been pastor two
years, and becomes the presiding elder
of the New Orleans District. He is
considered one of the strong pastors
in the Conference and will no doubt
give fine service in his present capac-
ity. This is particularly pleasant to
the pastor, as Mr.. Smelling and he
were boyhood friends.
At the morning service in Algiers
Miss Roberta Hafkesbring conducted
the music of the Junior Choir. Mrs.
Bell was sick and could not attend.
Miss Thelma Kennedy rendered a
piano solo and the choir sang two
specials. The pastors subject was
THE Mote Fuller" The text was Matt.
1885. And why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brothers eye but
considereth not the beam that is in
thine own eye? Or how wilt thou
say to thy brother, Let me pull out the
mote out of thine eye, and, behold, a
beam is in thine own eye? Thou
hypocrit, first cast out the beam out of
thine own eye. and then shout thou
see clearly to cast out the mote out OF
thy brothers eye"
The night service was in the form
of recognition of the various depart
ments of activity in the church. En-
phasis was laid upon what has been
done during the past year in the way
of material progress. The Missionary
Society was represented by Miss
Luella Dunn, president, and Mrs.
Jessie Summers, secretary. The Ep-
worth League was represented by the
president, Mr.. Lester T. Dunn, and
the secretary, Miss Eta Pettigrove,
and the treasurer, Miss Irva Daniels.
The Sunday School was reported by
the superintendent. Mr.. E. E. Cayard.
The Board of Trustees was represented
by the president, Mr.. E. H. Cayard.
The Board of Stewards presented a
financial report through the treasurer,
DR.. A. c. King. This report showed
that in all departments 1886 have
been raised. This amount repre-
scented the heroic sacrifices of some,
while it represented complimentary
from friends who are interested in the
work, but many of whom do not re-
side in town. Remarks of appreci-
alton were made and a vision of bet
ter things in the future were ex-
pressed. 1t Is the sincere desire Of
the congregation to get into their new
church just as soon as 1t is possible.
This to be decided by conditions.
After this preliminary service, Mrs.
Summers sang beautiful solo and
the pastor preached conservation
sermon from ii Corinthians $50, For
We know the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that, though He was rich, yet
for your sakes He became poor that
ye through His poverty, might be
rich.'
