Thomas, V. E. Bigler, P. D. Minnick and Tlywn J. Atkins, the address being the feature of the morning session, at the close of the address they were received into full membership in the conference. IBishop Quayle spoke in part, as fol- ows: “It you promise not to use tobacco, you must not use it. If you do, after promising, then you are liars and llars are not good spiritual chaperons. Now don't think you are holy because you've quit using tobacco, you will just be ordinarily clean. Don't think you are to conduct an apostolate against tobacco. We do say that those who are spiritual guides ought not to be users of tobacco. You are tobacco campaign. Reduce your an- tagonisms to a minimum. Some preachers stand up batting at every thing in sight. Don't hit at wo- men’s hats. They've got pins in them and you might get hurt. The women will ‘Wear the hats. You don't wear them — that kind. Don't preach ‘Grandmother’s day, Ex-President's day, Tuberculosis day. Preach Christ- plus’ “Don't preach doubts. doubts, sit on them. with your intellectural folks. " If youn’ve got vank it out. Lead it out. You lead a girl to the marriage altar, holding her hand for fear sho will escape. But don’t yank your doubts. “Subjective prayer is just a mono- logue—a man praying and letting it drip back on him. You can’t preach unless you believe in the objectivity of prayer—that God is get-at-able. A man who believed subjectively of prayer quit preaching and went to teaching Greek. The Greeks didn't be- lieve in prayer. “Are you going on to perfection? Do u ever expect to be made perfect in this life and are you going on to- ward it? Those questions do not com- mit you to any psychological theories about sanctification. I've got a letter signed ‘Holy and under the blood of When 1 get a letter signed 1 get suspicious.

But the girl of 9, loves her mother at 9, that love means more. But the girl at college comes home and puts her arm around her mother | and says, ‘O. you dearest mother, 1 love you so. Mother cries and knows that the girl of 18 loves mother more than the girl of three or nine and when that girl is married and comes home with her own little girl and takes her mother in her arms and tells her that she loves her, i* means more vet. ~She loves her up-to-daie. That perfect love—love vour God up-t date. “If the Lord delivered a woman with money into your handsand you spent You can't spend it better than than a duke could.

The annual conference met at the Second Congregational church at 4 o clock in the afterncon, Bishop , W lam A. Quaylo presiding. Rev. f. W. Coleman was deputed to invite the hy electoral conference to the jolut ses- sion, which opened With the hymn, Blest Be the Tie That Binds, followed by_prayer by the bishop. Rev. F. W. Coleman conducted to the platform Everett J. Horton of Providence, president of the Lay Elec- toral conference. ‘At heart, everybody’s a layman and at heart everybody's a preacher, so we are oOne” sald the bishop, who iutroduced Mr. Horton that he might greet the delegates In joint session. Mr, Horton presented to the bishop and ministerial conference the lay del- egates to the. general conference, and Bishop Quayle introduced the mints- terial delegutes. Asked Support For Qeneral Confer- ence. Benjamin F. Thurston of Newport, R. 1, chairman of the lay delegation, asked for the sympathy, support and prayers of all for the coming general conference session. Rev, J. Francis Cooper of Provi- dence, chairman of the ministerial del- cgation, spoke of his desire to sco economy of administration and climi- nation of any useless machinery. “Wo Methodists are not much given to bragzing and we're not at all given to proselyting,” said Bishop Quayle who then referred to the remarks made by Mr. Horton, who had urged that lalty be admitted to the annual con- ference on the ground that minsters noeded the business acumen of the laity, and-said: “When a man suggests that minis- ters lack the business sense of the laity, I fecl entertained. There's a little institution called the book con- cern whose sales this year amounted to $2700,000 and this book concern was started by a minister who borrow- ed $600 for it and it has been run by ministers. I've had some _good churches, the best churches, but I've never had-a church where I didn't have to furhish business sensc for wny laymen. And besides, we're kept busy running around keeping our business men decent. I've got along all right with my laymen. They've fed me chicken and I fed them quail. “The Methodist church doesn't need so much tinkering as it does need spirituality. We don't nced more ma- chinery. Take a wagon with four wheels and put 17 more on it and you'll not get farther or faster. You'll just have more wheels to oil. 1 don't know whether You ought to be in the annual con or not, but if you come up here every year, we'll Tub a lot of cash off you. Our job is not to re-oranize the church but to make it work. “The Methodist general conference lis the only gathering in the world which is planetary in its reach. It's ot national. We are the Methodist piscopal church of the planet. Don't make it smaller than it is and divide il up in four litle geographies. (This was in reference to the proposed union of Methodism by organization of four sectional conferences). After prayer by Re Ninde, the Lay Electoral conferenc | raembers were lined up £nd the m! isters passed along, shaking hands with each one and the session ad- journed. CROWDED CHURCH HEARD BISHOP QUAYLE'S LECTURE. Vivid and Gripping Description of Characters in Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities. Trinity M. E. church was taxed to its utmost seating capacity on Friday |evening when Bishop William _ a. Quayle lectured on The Tale of Two Cities. His address was _gripping, huromous, and stirring, and his de- scriptions were given vividly and win force. Rev. J. H. Buckley presided at he meeting. ckens was the greatest American n England, though not born in Ameri- ca, Dickens had the American spirit, BISHOP WM. A. QUAYLE said Bishop Quayle. Bishop Quayle mirasted the American democratic rit, a spirit which cannot be cured, with aristocrac: We Americans are so democratic we can't get over it, said Bishop Quayle. Quite a while ago we demiss ed King George without a benediction. America. is vastly more democrat than we know. We are so accustomed to quality we don’t know any better. We have steadily grown democratic: and if we saw the arch-angel we would shake hands with him. Bishor Quayle told of cruelties committed in France during the revolution as rec- order in Dickens' Talo of Two Citles and of the aristocrats. _He told of his first reading of The Tale of Two Cities when a boy. Of how he read it during a rain storm all day long. Most books vou read during your youth lose their enchantment but The Tald of Two Cities you cannot lose, for as you dabble your hands in this story they areall covered with Blood. In The Tale of Tw Citlés, Mr. Lor- v is a. precise old bacheldor. He walks d_daily in the same ol way, same old gait, hung his coat on the same old pez. He was the same prime and precise old bachelor. One cliuse in the making of a bachelor is that he is a man of conceit, thinks every woman who speaks nice to him wants him.. The bishop told of an instance where a bachelor called on a lady friend. The reception he got and happenings of the evening. In conclusion the bishop said “Who can survive 1t?"
