Church at 1870 p. m. Saturday. The
officers from Hickory and Bethel as
sembled with full reports for each
department of the churches of the
circuit. The pastor, Rev. j. D. Ed
kiss, did not materaliZe. but each of
the 81 disciplinary questions were
answered in full. We had hoped in

Our next quarterly conference will
be at Hickory. The church at Lewis
vile is in a most sad condition
no children for a Sunday schOol-nO
future for African MethOdism as it
now appears. The only Sunday School
is that of the Union School with three
denominations intermingled. And in
few years the same will be true
of the public school; in a few years
| it will run out for the want of pu-
pills. Mrs. Saunders of Oak Cliff is
the euridite teacher and is doing
much for the whole community
Lewisville is the home of the pro-
gressive teachers, Mrs. Vivian Mitchell
and Miss Vera Nichols. Bro. Anthony
Hcmbly is a very sick man, suffer-
ing under the third stroke of pa
ralysis.

God fearing minister he would not
allow the flag of honor to trail in
the dust. and without a word of COM

that it was a glorious sermon. Mon
day night we were on deck and held
most inspiring quarterly conference
with the help Of a full corps OF

present with good reports. The most
inspiring event was the report from
the Junior Church Each department

cash accompanying each report. Mss
