The Memphis conference began its fourth day’s session this morning at 9 o'clock with prayer by Rev. Wil-| bourne Mooney. The minutes of the previous day’s seasion were read and adopted. Dr. Mooney stated that Secretary Meaders was appointed conference | historian last year to gather and pre-| serve items of personal interest in the | lives of ministers, but no provision had been made to pay the incidental | expenses connected therewith. He! was granted permission to take up a) collection for'this purpose, | The statistical report was then read. Among other things it showed there are at present 214 local preach. ers in this conference and 499 houses of worship. During the last con-| ference year 693 infants and 1,641 adults had been baptized. The Methodist Publishing house report was the next thing in order, and this occupied most of the fore- noon session. Rev. Warner Moore, Sr., as chairman of the publishing house committee, read the report and a lively discussion followed. The part of the committee report that provoked the discussion was the clause afking for the resig- nation of Dr. James D, Barber, agent of the Methodist Publishing House, for the course he had taken in the prosecution of a claim sgainst |the U. S. government for the des- truction of church property by fed-| eral soldiers during the civil war. The venerable Dr. Harris made s short talk in which be said he was an “old fashioned Methodist,"’ sod he | believed in upholding constituted authorities, and standing by their actions. The Tennessee conference had investigated this matter fully and had sustained the character of Barber and his associates, and for that reason be was opposed to the Da. Johnson, another aged min~| ister whose whose hair 1s gray with the frosts of many winters, ssid that) while he did not deny that Barber fund the book comittee had made a gtevious mistake, he was satisfied that there was no intention of wrong doing in the hearts of any of them. | Their moral character he did not be- lieve should be questioned. A substitute resolution was offered by Rev. J. A. Evans, which was) finally adopted. The only| change of importance was) that the other members of| the book committee involved in the | transaction were asked to resign. The resolution as adopted read as follows : ‘Resolved, That while we have the greatest respect and love for our book agents, Barbee and Smith, snd confidence, in their integrity and purpose; yet wedeplore the mistake into which they were betrayed in the management of the publishing house claim ; and we believe to allay the excitement existing in the cburch and conserve its highest interests, it would be wise for them to resign, together with those members of the book committee equally involved with them.”’ Dr. KE. K. Hoss, editor of the Christian Advocate, of Nashville, was introduced and spoke briefly of his work as editor of the church or- gan and the manner in which it had been conducted during the nine years in which he has bad editorial charge. The doctor is a polished gentleman and 8 man of broad and liberal views. At times during bis talk, he was quite humorous in bis remarks, which | provoked several rounds of laughter. “It has been said,’’ be remarked, ‘that it takes two things) to run 8 newspaper—a pair of acis sors and 9 paste pot, To thig J wish} to add a third essential—the waste basket."’ It had always been his policy when he could not use an ar- ticle, to either politely return it or impolitely put it in the waste basket. It be had served bis church in no other capacity, he was sure he bad done some good in consigning to the capacious maw of the waste basket many communications offered for publication in his paper. Altogether his talk was a most excellent one and convinced his hearers that he is the ight man in the right place. NOTES, It is understood that Bishop Heo drix and his cabinet have completed a list of the appointments for the coming year, but it will not be made public before Monday, at which time he will also annoynoe the assignment of presiding elders. It has been agreed that the next session of the Memphis conference be held st Brownsville, Tenn, _ That place was a candidate last year, but yielded in favor of Paducah, in con- sequence of which the West Ken- tacky del at this session were unanimous in their choice of Browns- ville, Rey.
