APPOINTMENTS
ARE ANNOUNCED
Bishop McMurry's Address Inspired
North Mississippi Conference. Two
Ministers at First Conference
52 Years Ago Attended.

burst OF religious fefVof the htty-Sec-
ond annual session of the North Mis-
sissippi Conference came to an end to-
night after Bishop McMurry had read
the appointments. The assignments
had been eagerly awaited. The ses-
sions have been made notable in
manay ways. Two Of the ministers
who attended practically all the ses-
sions were members of the first con-
ference, held more than a half cen
tury ago. Bishop Murry's address
heartened the ministers to greater eff
forts and steeled them against the
many adyersities that are faced from
day to day.
The outstanding feature Of the night
session was the sermon By Dr.. j. r..
Countiss, Grenada, on THE Need Of
Young America to a house taxed to
the utteI2nost. DR.. Countiss thirty
seven years experience in the schoo
room eminently qualities him for
warning parents as he did tonight
against the dangers and pitfalls of
modern dress and society. The speak
er denounced the fashionable card
game, automobile rides and pointed
out the uselessness Of the ursafe
chaperon. Parents were taken most
severely to task for not more serious
ly guarding the young life against the
hundred perils OF today.
At the close of DIR. Countiss' ser
mon the appointments were read.
