Allen Uuiversity was well repres ented by the speaker. made a fine speeclvand was greeted with much approval by a recep tive audience. We thank God for such men as Rev.

The Winnsboro Distrit ferenceV The Winnsboro District ference was held in the A. M; church May ?O-24. For the dele gates, ministers and visitors ir attendance, the pastor, the Rev. J. F Boyd, did all in his powei to make it pleasant. Those attending the conference were met at Alston and conveyed to the church where a large crowe awaited their arrival. Early Thursday morning, long before the conference began, the writei met two intellectual giants. Thej were L. A. Hawkins LL. B. and S. J. McKnight. They franki} told me that they wanted me and all concerned to know thal they were candidates for election to the General Conference. After they had conversed with me, dis playiog their knowledge of the church and the legislation needed for it. I became compelled tc admit that those two live men are worthy of the honor they seek. In his speech before the con ference, S. J. McKnigt said that he wanted to go to the General Conference because he knew the wav; becatitee, as sorhe new men would be sent, he would be needed to pilot them about; Prof Hawkins said that he wanted to go because of his efficiency, man hood, and principles; because he hid the courage to striked in the right way, at any evil. ?He said that he wanted delegates" to the electoral college to come down there, not in any man's pocket, but governed by principle. In the organization of the con ference, Rev. J. F, Young was elected secretary. The Rev. Dr. Curry of St Matthews and the Rev. I. J. Pruitt were introduced and they made it known that they too were candidates for el ction to the Igeneral confer ence. TherRev. Curry claims that he is able to right; some wrongs. He wants the discipline so changed that women may be come eligible as delegates to the general conference. Rev. I. J. Pruitt gave satisfactory assur ance that, if chosen, he would work for the best interest, of the church. On Thursday night, the annual sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Pyles. As was to be ex pected, Jie preached a soulstir ring sermon. When the reports were called for on Friday. I never saw money paid more readily. No excuses were heard. At night the Rev. S. M Bowers of Union preached the educational sermon. It was a plain spiritual doctrinal discourse. Saturday J. S, Martin and J. J. Geter were elected lay delegates to the an nual conference which will be held in Columbia in November. Mr. A. P. Harper of White Hall who, as a layman, is a candidate for the General Conference was introduced. He has executive ability, and is kind, friendly and lovable. He made a favorable impression' Sunday was a great day. The following preachers preached: 10 a. m., Rev. M. S. Glenn; lia. m., Rev. J. W. Lykes, presiding elder of the district;3 p. m. Rev. White; 8 p. m. Rev. J. N. Burks. The sermons were grand espec ially the one preached by the presiding elder.
