IntfrcNthig l‘a|M*rN Hrii.l by Different Mem ber* of I he Conferenee on Subject* of \ ital Interent to tlie Welfare of ClirKliauity and Mankind. The Ministers’ Conference was opened . yesterday morning with a prayer by liev. I. W. Wingo. I’rof. Johnson thended the congregation in the singing, after which passages of scripture were repeated by the minis ters. After another song, and a prayer by Mr. Hawley, there was a short talk by President Jordan. He expressed the sympathy of the Con ference for the much loved brother, Itev. Mr. Gardner, of Greenville, who is now in tlie depths of sorrow, hav ing lost his little eight-year-old daughter on Monday, Nov. 27. Mr. Otts was requested to lead in a pray er for this and other bereaved fami lies; Mr. J. A. llrown opened the conversation as to “The Preacher and His Purchase of Hooks.’’ Mr. llrown’s talw was brief, but compre hensive, stating that a pastor must study men and books. Must study men both directly and through books, learning to know them not only by his own experience but through the experience of others as recorded in books. Hooks are necessary that we may understand men. Hooks are necessary that we may understand the saving truth of God—necessary that by them, by the information they give us, we may know how to apply God’s saving truth to men. Books are the tools by which the pastor must do his work. They are weapons of warfare, of offense and defense, and we must make any rea sonable sacrifice that we may obtain them. Certain rules should govern the pastor in his purchase of books. They should be books suited to tne times. Not too old and not too new. “Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.’’ They should be books suited not only to our times and the needs of the present, but suited to the pastor’s needs and conditions. Hooks that we purchase ought to be good in lit erature style, for we v. ill be largely influenced by them. Each should be the best on its special subject, good in their moral and spiritual qualities. Among the books which the average preacher should have are books of general reference, to be constantly used by him. They must be the best of their kind. One of the first that a preacher must, and one of the first I suppose they do procure, is a diction ary. We should study our diction aries more. It would help us to avoid tlie many little mistakes we all, or most of us, make in pronunciation, etc. Then one needs an encyclope dia. the very best that is to be had. A Bible dictionary, books on Biblical exegesis, commentaries on the en tire Bible, and commentaries on the religious doctrine of the Bible, books on pastoral work, books on general literature, were mentioned us neces sary for a full library for the preach er. After Mr. Brown’s talk the ques tion was open for discussion. Upon a suggestion the ministers were re quested to mention the books that had been most helpful to them dur ing the past year. Among those mentioned were; Clark’s Lectures— “Shall We Believe Christianity;” Eatterson’s Making of a Sermon ; The Life of Christ by Spears; Stiller, on The Book of Acts; a page each day of the Standard or Webster’s diction ary ; the Old and New Testament. The next paper was by Mr. A. C. Wilkins. This paper on What Is Salvation? was lull of truth and earn estness. The correct answer to this question is to be found in the Word of God. We must learn from the au thor and finisher of our salvation, says Mr. Wilkins. This paper was most interesting. How to Deal with Inquirers? by Rev. Jubez Ferris followed. Mr. Kerris’ points, clearly demonstrated, were: 1. Deal with them gently. 2. Deal with them sympathetically. •1. Deal with them prudently. 4. Deal with them faithfully. In conclusion he urged acquaint ance with the scaiptures if we would deal wisely and well with inquirers. The closing paper was Exegesis and Expository Plan, a paner of profound thought, read by the well known Dr. E. J. Forrester. For the benefit of those who bad not the privilege of attending this meeting, we would like to give in full these papers; so full of deep thought and great truths, but time and space we have not. The Conference extended to the visiting brethren a hearty welcome, expressing its pleasure in having them present. Dr. Pitt, editor of the Religions Herald, addressed the Con ference, extending to it cordial and hearty greeting from the Virginia Baptists. The meeting adjourned after the closing prayer by Mr. Langston. AFTERNOON SESSION. The third meeting of the Ministers’ Conference was held yesterday after- rnoon at JLllO. The first paper was read by Rev. J. 1). Daily, on Tlie Place of Hymns and Public Prayer in the Service. His was an excellent, impressive paper. Upon this subject Mr. L. C. Hinton made some appropriate re marks and suggestions. The paper by Mr. F. O. S. Curtis, of Ninety-Six, on Tlie Examination and Reception of Members was short (as papers should be), but to the point. After the reading of Mr. Cur tis’ paper short talks wore made by quite a number of the ministers. The discussion of this question, in cluding the paper by Mr. Curtis, was most instructive and beneficial. Among those who spoke upon this subject were: Messrs. Ford, Coving ton, Parish, Scaife, Hickson and oth ers. dress on The Time sermon, says Limit of Sermons. Doctor Sanders, must he long or short, according to common sense. There can be no in variable rule for determining the length of sermons. Ministers must be governed by the congregation, ac cording to the capacity of the preach er himself, the occasion for the ser mon, sometimes the number of relig ious meetings held during the day, and upon the importance of tlie sub ject. After the reading by Doctor San ders, the Conference adjourned. Iturlvy lourc l>i*it<l. Burley Moore, of this county, died Tuesday night from the effects of wounds received in an unfortunate difficulty some days ago. The. trouble occurred in Rutherford county, N. C. where Mr. Moore died. But it is said that all the parties concerned are of-this county, and Misses Clingman Scruggs, Nancy Hames and a Mr. Proctor have been charged with being responsible for his death and will be held to await the action of North Carolina authorities. I’ointN of Interest. Gaffney’s immense cotton mill, her carpet mill, oil mill, foundry, lime works, fine mercantile houses, splen did school buildings and churches make r any points of interest in the city which many of our visitors visit ed yesterday.
