Reading of Appointments
What a day is Monday during the
annual conference! Business will be
transacted with haste and little de-

the report at II o'clock, it is not like
ly to come before nearer noon. If
reports are true, and become fact, the
work of this committee will be hard
er than in more recent years. No
one knows how many ministers or

Albemarle, Oct. 23.-The 109th SEES
sion of the North carolina Annual
Conference of the Methodist Protes-
tant Church, which meets here at the
First Methodist Protestant church No
vember 40 is destined to be the most
epoch-making gathering this parti-
cular branch of Methodism has ever
held in this State. This is true from
the standpoint of important questions
to come before the conference.
The major question Before the an
nual conference at this time is the
vote on the plan of union of the three
major branches of Methodism name
1y, the Methodist Protestant Church,
The Methodist Episcopal Church
South, and the Methodist Episcopal
Church. This question must be set
tied at this session, because the Cen
eral Conference held in High Point
last May ordered the vote taken at
the next session of the Annual Con-
ferences. Sixteen of the twenty-siX
Conferences Of the Methodist Protes-
tant church have voted, with those
favoring the Union being in the ma
jority, the last to vote on this plan
sion this week
Rev. r. NJ Andrews, D. D., High
Point, who is serving the fourth year
of a second term as president of the
North Carolina Conference, said this
week that he was in receipt of let
ter from the Rev. Jas. H. Straughn,
D. D., Baltimore, president of the
General Conference, in which he made
the following statement: There are
still one or two uncertain spots as
to the union, but it looks to me from
reports coming in from the field as
if the church will very decisively en-
dorse the union" The president will
arrive at the seat of the North Caro-
lima Conference on Saturday morn
ing of Conference week, and deliver
his first message as General Confer
ence president, and it is quite likely
that the major emphasis of this adj
dress will have to do with the matter
of Methodist union.
Superannuate Endowment.
Another item outstanding interest
and Importance is that of the super
annuate endowment fund for super
annuate ministers and their widows.
A new program was instituted last
year at the Henderson conference,
when an assessment equal to three
percent of pastors salary was levied
upon each church, or charge. This a.
mount to be collected each year and
to be applied to the distributive fund

sion this year will receive the results

clause requiring the individual pas

between friends does more than in

But in an hour of dependency over
the exceeding wickedness of Corinth
and the immensely Of the task of
evangelizing such a city, Paul was
overwhelmed with fears for his own

his mission in Corinth, when the Lord
Jesus appeared to him in a vision say

hold not thy peace: for I am with
thee and no man shall set on thee
to harm thee: for I have much peo-

Christ not only for his servant Paul
but for the great throngs of lost souls
in Corinth that brought Paul this
heavenly Visitor and the vision of a
great task yet to be done. And this

NEW SCHOOL

Va, Jan. 23.-Alarmed by the
possibility that the only high

Carnegie Medals
Awarded TWO
d. 6. Heroes

There were two happy families
in washington today-families in
which a member has been awarded
a bronze medal for exceptional
bravery" by the Carnegie Hero
Fund Commission.
To one of them, however, the
occasion was tinged with sadness,
for the recipient of the medal died
during the rescue for which the
honor was given.
Sterling Calhoun, unemployed
colored man. lost his life last July
while attempting to save Mary
Kerns, IA. and her younger
brother, Richard, II, both of the
1900 block of First st. S. W., from
drowning when they waded out
too far into the Anacostia River.
Calhoun left a wife and three
small children in an humble home
at 1T L st. S. w. Sympathetic
WaShingtonians, learning that the
family had no means of support,
gathered a fund of $500 for the
widow.
The family should never know
want again. The award of the
Carnegie Medal to Calhoun is &C
companied by a permanent pen
sion of $50 a month for the widow
The other award was to Daniel
S. Terrell, formerly of the dramatic
department of The Washington
Herald and now connected with
Warner Brothers, who used all the
strength in his 135-pound body to
save a man and his wife from
drowning at Bethany Beach, Del,
in August of 1884.
Terrell, who is married and lives
at 1924 Porter st. N. w., rescued
