Resolution That Bible Be
Read in Public Schools.
Lancaster, Nov. 6.--Almost every
pulpit in Lancaster and a few in the
country were occupied by members of
the Upper South Carolina conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, at both services today. APP
pointments were also announced.
Bishop U. V. w. Darlington preached
at the morning hour at the First
Methodist church. He was heard by
congregation that taxed the capacity
of the church, and many who desired
to hear him could not gain admittance,
even the aisles being crowded. The
life and ministry Of the Prophet Elisha
was the theme of Bishop Darlington's
sermon. He likened Elisha to great
circuit preacher and emphasized the
fact of the one aim of the Prophet,
which was to serve God wi q over, and
in whatever way, God directed. He
said that the unselfish and willing
purpose Of Elisha had much to do
with the great success which he ac-
complished as Prophet of God. The
first service of the day held in this
church was the conference love feast,
which began at 9:30 a. M, and con-
tinued until the hour for the sermon.
This service was in charge of the
Rev. NJ. M. Brabham.
This afternoon, memorial service
for two deceased members of the con-
ference was held, the Rev. Marian
Dargan and the Rev. j. N. Isom, both
of whom have passed away since the
session of the conference a year ago.
Memories of both were read and trib
utes to the life and work of each
were paid verbally by many who were
present at the service. Conference
came to close tonight with sermon
by DR.. A. M. Traywick. A resolution
by B. r. Turnipseed that the Holy
Bible be read in the public schools
was adopted.
DR.. M. l.. Carlisle introduced the
following resolution which was adopt
ed by rising vote:
knowing the utter impossibility of
adequately expressing what is in our
hearts, we yet wish to express to the
city and citizens of Lancaster our
deep appreciation of them and their
hospitality during the session of this
conference.
therefore, resolved, that we pray
for the peace and the blessing of God
That maketh rich and addeth no sor-
row herewith They have fed us
with earthly food; may the Lord give
them the bread of life. They have
taken US into their homes; may the
Lord receive them, into the everlast-
ing habitations. They have crowned
us with their kindness and regard;
may they receive the crown of life
which the Lord shall give"
