tence, and there was shouting in
the congregation. Dr. Morrison is
bringing some Of the strongest SER
mons that have ever been heard in
Lubbock, and il is expected the
crowds are increasing as IL becomes
noised abroad the greatness Of this
man. Had il not been for the fair
that has kept many people away. the
house would not have held the
crowds that are anxious TO hear him,
and IL will be necessary for the
people to come early Sunday If they

congregations loose to attend the
closing service of the conference,
and the Methodist people are max
ing every preparation % take care
of them when they come.
The conference will close Sunday
night, and Monday the preachers and
delegates will return home.
Lubbock was unanimously chosen
as the next meeting place for the
District Conference, which will like
ly be conducted much on the same
order as this, which is a departure
from the old way, and is proving
great Improvement on the regular
form of the services.
Lubbock Methodists as well as
number Of others IN the other
churches. have taken care Of the
delegates in grand style, and they
have nothing but the best commend
alton for the manner By which they
have been entertained A number
of people who volunteered TO open
the doors of their homes for the
entertainment Of the conference del
egates were not given an opportun-

All in all il has been a great con-
ference so far, and still there is
more TO come.
The Avalanche is glad to have had

the presence Of these splendid men
and women, many Of whom have
