Quarterly Conf.
| At Union

Sunday, March 8, was the oc'
cas;on Of our End Quarterly Con-
ference at Union A. M. Il.
Church, Little Rock. But the snow
and rain came down steadily in
n distinctly farewell flourish OF
winter, and changing scene that
had partaken Of approaching
Spring. The weather was very un-
favorable throughout Sunday
School and Church hours, causing
the homes of Union Church men,
bers on that particular day to be
more attractive than a church
building not prepared for winter
storms. Our hopes for great day
were defeated, hut not completely
doomed. A few came to church
and we had the cheering presence
of Dr.. G. B. Ashford. presiding
elder, and Or. ]. H. Lewis, pastor,
whose recent assignment has re-
ceived cheer and thankfulness in
every heart. The sermon by DR..
Ashford, though directed to de-
pleted pews, was so complete in
truth and delivery, that It is re-
gretful, so many victims of cir
cumstanees.
On Monday night the member
ship came out In large numbers
for the business session. A spont-
aneous ovation was the result OF
a most pointed and witty address
by the Presiding Elder, VINO. in his
closing, formally presented the
new pastor. After a beautiful re-
sponse by DR.. Lewis, another ova-
ton echoed amid the long time
barred beams Of our unfinished
building, as the hearty expression
Of q grateful and struggling con-
gregation.
