DELTA CLOSES MONDAY

The fifty-siNth annual Methodist
conference closed Monday and the
800 ministers who for a week had
assembled here left for their various
homes. leaving a spirit of inspiration
for ouur good people which will long
remain
There was a feast of good things
stored in every lecture, ably deliver
ed by such men of prominence as
Bishop Nicholson. DR. Johnson. DR..
Mead, DIR. Hurlstone and many 9th
ers
The good people of the city opered
up their hospitable doors and gave
the guests a royal welcome. and this
hospitality was by no means limited
to the members of the Methodist
church. but all churches alike did all
IN their power to make them well
come.
Limited space prevents a full list
in this issue of the assignments of
charges. but the most Interesting one
at least to this city-was the re-
turn of Rev. Geo. F. Klein for another
year. On Sunday evening when the
assignment was read for Delta the
immense audience rose to its feet.
and as the great pipe organ rolled
forth the strains. they united in sing
ing; "Blest be the Tie that Binds"
This plainly showed the wish of the
local church.
Next year the conference win meet
