Artesia, N. NJ, Oct. 1.-THE
last day of the thirty second an

leo and West Texas conference of

a very busy and interesting occa-

largest ever known at Artesia for
religious service. The seating
capacity of the Methodist church,
estimated at 1000, was taxed to
the utmost. A large number of
persons were seated in automo-

many left on account of a lack
of room.
Bishop II. M. Dubose of Berke-
ley, Calf, spoke at both preach
ing hours. Rev. Ralph Wolner,
secretary of the Epworth league
board of the Southern Methodists
