Sometimes we have cause to COM

thing that is disturbing, we are rest
less over il. and we wish we could
o. hack over il. and recall the whole
syair Now the Methodist Confer

come and gone but the aftermath Is
giving TO us sense of feeling that

taken care Of and the great plan
that had been gotten up 10 entertain
them in such magnificent manner
"Ob." YOU say, It's always thus,
every conference is eulog.zed IN the

Others said: Let me congratulate
you and the Monroe people for the

The conference. The conference at
Monroe will be long remembered.
"Never had bigger time in MY life,
than had al Monroe. / suspect that

Every preacher | have seen, however
claims the same thing. You enter
tanned us royally." One OF the NM
isters was very sick while here, and
was compelled to go the hospital.
He wrote back II Dr.. Weaver such
a note Of appreciation for everything,
We feel real desire TO tell II out.
IL lust feel like | want 20 ask you
to publicly thank your Aind people
of Monroe for me for the very great
generosity shown me daring my .!l-
ness while in your midst. I've never
had lust such a stream OF NntnoSs
to flow into my life as WAS done by
your great hearted people Of Monroe.
The good hospital force seemed 70 vie

show the most courtesy and constant
care. The climax came wien | went

off my feet. shall never forget
these tokens of kindness shown me
while n your midst. The sutferings

largely overcome by the acts of
friendships made manifest to me by
the kind people of Mon.oe. Is Tiny

Baptsts Hear From Them, Too
Dozens &lke letters were received
BY the pastor Of Central church and
Mir. Blakeney. Then we Interview the
Baptist, and Mrs. VI. c. Saunders
told Us glorious news from the =
work down at the Brotherhood Hut,
She said II they had not cleared
one dollar, everything was worth
while. for they did so enjoy being
associated with this body of good
men, and getting together them
selves, ana every thing taken as a
whole it was delightful occasion,
One lady remarked that she had no
idea there was so much enioymen,
in get ng together and dong a great
work like this for the church, and
that she felt nearer to all the Baptist
L. -. -
for she had not been real attend
ant on the church services in the
past Then | was tod cf the big
good sum that they realized from
their hard work down there. I'VE
cleared over $780, she told yne. 'and
we gave The Auxiliary here $3.50. y
Wasn't th a fine report; We Meth
odist are just jubilan: over the
spontaneous manner in which ,hey
came 20 our a.d. We hope 20 be able
to do likewise for them seme day
and are glad they came OFT with such
a good financial report.
Weather Was IDEAL
Providence came to cur aid, too
The weather was ideal, no. too cold,
nor too hot, and golden sunshine
was showeredA everywhere. The whole
county took il in. Although i. was
cotton picking, and corn shucking
time, the farmers worked all day ano
drove seven and eight miles after
dark to enjoy the meeting. We did
not see many of the old ministers
that we once knew. They rad passed
away and the young men have taken
their places.
How the Young Men Did Sing
Oh, how these young men did sing,
The old people thrilled as the great
volumn swelled up from this vast
throng and fairly made the founda-
tons shake of the edifiee. my faith
is built on nothing less than Jesus
and His righteous" No need for
hymnals, this familiar song and words
were on the end of the tongue OF
every member of this conference and
they rolled out the words and the
muse.
We were glad once more 10 shake
the hand of Rev. w. r. Ware, our
one time pastor and mex. door neigh.
-bor for four years. We were sorry
70 miss seeing Rev. r. II. Hoyle. He
t0o, was oar pastor and neighbor for
igveral years. As the past brings up
lis face, il brings also the likeness
