NO more solemn moment for you
gentlemen and for the church thar
this can be imagined. Ny heart sinks
when | think OF the obligation | took
when stood at the altar of the
church and assumed the vows and
responsibilities Of a minister of the
gospel. You brethren are standing
at a critical point in your life. You
have been in the world, now you come
cut of II in large sense of the word
You are to be separated. More will
be expected of you than aIy other
kind of people in the world. People
will expect you to live more devo-
ted life than ever in the past. They
will expect more of you than they do
of themselves. Thus spoke Bishop
Denny Saturday morning while ad-
dressing the class Of young men who
were admitted into full connection in
the Western North Carolina confer
encc.
Tie bishop propounded the aceus-
toned questions to the young ,men
and commented upon them, giving a
strong eXhor;ation to them to accept
the Bible as the inspired word of
God. and told them that it would be
necessary for them TO groan after
perfection in love, declaring that love
to God and TO humanity was essential
for the Christian ministery and ad-
monished the young men to devote
themselves wholly to the work that
God committed to them, saying that
unless they did they had better stop
before going further.
Don't try to tell the business man
how to run his business. A minis
ter'S work is not in politics Or else
where except where a minister of the
gospel belongs. The gospel ministry"
said the bishop, "is the highest call
ing of life" He related an incident
of a minister who refused to take
nomination for United States senator,
and another who turned down the
offer of cabinet position, stating
that they could not step down from
the high position to which God had
called them to accept political prefe-
ment.

be made TO raise missions TO self-sup-
porting charges. The report was

presented and read the report of the
board of finance, which board has
TO do with the superannuate men,
bers of the conference. The report
Indicated that last year it had for
distribution among the conference
claimants S20.25O. This year this
amount was increased to S25,562.50
The sentiment in the conference is
to constantly increase this amount
until the claimants on this fund are
adequately care for.
Rev. ID. S. Richardson read the re-
port of the committee on church
properly. This report showed that
only GO per cent of all the church
property within the bounds of the
conference is insured, and recon-
mends to the pastors and official
boards that they insure the church
property.
A number Of o.her reports were
read and adopted. That of the board
OF Christian literature, which has to
do with the publication of the North
Carolina Chr .stian Advocate, was
presented by Rev. o. P. Adler, and
recommends that special effort be
put forth during the coming year to
increase the circulation of the church
organ to not less than 10000 sub
scribers.
The question, "Where shall the next
annual conference be held" was
called, and Rev. z. E. Barnhardt pre-
sented most earnest invitation from
Centenary church, Winston Salem. By
unanimous vote the invitation was
accepted.

No more beautiful Sabbath day has
ever Gawned upon session of the
Western North Carolina Conference
than Sunday. Ii seemed that heaven
and earth had eonspired to make il
n great day in the history of the
conference and of Monroe. The

with an abundance of beauty and

made everything pleasant and COM

etc, and il seemed that every person
in Monroe had c5ught the spirit, and
a tidal wave. OF it swept over the
seat f the conference.

Departs From Custom
he conference departed from its
usual custom for the first service of
the day. Heretofore a love feast has
been held at 9o'eloek at thc seat of
conference, but today the simple
elements of bread and water were
omitted and an old time Methodist
class meeting was held, and large
numbers Of the ministers and others
testified to the power Of God to save
and TO hold. A tidal wave of spirit

ence, and many wept as the testi-
monials Of old and young were list

Bishop to begin his sermon arrived. .

and one IN the afternoon. At the af.

Conference was called to order BY
Bishop Denny and Rev. ID. r. Ware, OF
Albemarle, conducted the devotional
exercises.
Question No. 2 was called. "Who
remain on trial. and A. {. Tippett
was advanced to the class of the
third year.
Bishop Denny announced that E.
h. VII dden, of the New Mexico con-
ference, and Rev. John VI. Hoyle, Jr..
of the North Carolina conference, had
been received into this conference By
transfer.
Rev. +. J. Parker was transferred
to the Western Mexican mission.
Rev. II. NJ. Blair, who for 20 years
was editor Of the North Carolina
Christian Advocate, and one of the
most beloved men of the conference,
was referred to the committee on
conference relations for the super
numary relation.
Rev. J. A. Lesh was granted a To-
cation at his own request. Question
No. ! was again called and Rufus
NJ. Hauss and Marcus +. Leftwich
were admitted into the conference on
trial. Rev. c. c. Totherow, who has
served as a local preacher for the
past 20 years, and has done fine serv-
ice as a supply pastor, made appli-
cation for admission. but because of
his age, he being 81 years old, the
conference thought it unwise to re-
ce.ve hm on trial but granted Bishop
Denny permission to employ him as
a supply.
The orders of Rev. ]. V. Williams
coming to us from the Methodist
Episcopal church, were recognized,
and William NJ. Wall was elected a
local elder and Frank j. Slough, a
local deacon.
Rev. n. r. Richardson. who has
faithfully served the church for more
than quarter of century but who
has been forced to undergo surgical
oprations during the year, felt that
he was not able to take work next
year, hence asked the conference to
grant him the superannuate relation,
which it did. an Offering for Mr..
Richardson was taken and Si79 was
laid on the table for the retiring min
ster.
The conference passed resolution
denying the right of amp persons to
carry on their business in the church
where the conference is in session
other than business connected with
The church.
