On Saturday niulrt Dr. .1 W. Daniel preached at the Methodist church. His sermnn showed that he is one of the broadest thinkers in South Caro lina. The Sunday morning service opened with a good old-fashioned love feast at 9:20 a. m., which was led by Rev. W. W Williams. This meeting was largely attended and was participated in by preachers and laymen and mem bers of othe r denominations. It was indeed a love feast and much genuine good feeling prevailed. On Sunday morning at the Buford Street Methodist church Bishop M'n - rison preached a splendid sermon, af ter which the following deacons were ordained; C. W. Burgess. W. T. Be- denhaugh. J. P.. T. Malor. D. A. Lewis. W. \. Beckham. R. R. Doyle. W. C. Owen. C M. Feeder W. M Owings C. s. Felder and .1. B. Owen.

In the evening the pulpit of this church was occupied by Rev. Sam T. Creech, a former pastor. w T ho dellghtmi his con gregation. Mr. Creeoh shows much improvement Ip his work and his friends may look forward with great expectations of him At the First Baptist church Sunday morning Dr. L. F Beaty delivered a most instructive and interesting ad dress before the Sunday school. Dr. Beaty is a strong man in the confer ence and his address made a good im pression. At the Baptist church Rev. P. F. Kilgo preached in the morning, and Rev. W- M Duncan at night. Reports from these tell of splendid efforts. At the Presbyterian church Rev. C. B. Smith filled the pulpit in the morn ing and Rev. R. S. Truesdale at night. From these and those who preached in the other churches of the city, the best reports come of sermons of the highest, order. T7ie Cherokee Avenue Baptist church was filled with a large congre gation Sunday morning at n o’clock, when Rev. B. R. Tornlpseed, of Columbia, delighted them with a splendid sermon. At 3 p. m. Rev. A. E. Driggers, of Greenville, ad dressed the B. Y. p. TJ. at this church and made a lasting impression. At 7:20 Rev. R. A Yongue preached a magnificent sermon to a congregation that filled the house. Row C. D- Mann occupied the pul pit at the Midway Baptist church at 11 a m and delighted his congrega tion. Rev. J L. Harley could not fill his appointment at Dunton’s Chapel tool ored) at it a. m., so Rev. J. T. Fow ler kindly consented to fill the ap pointment. He preached a sermon that will linger long with his hearers. At 7:30 o’clock R f, v. W. 17. Baker oc cupied the pulpit of this church and preached a splendid sermon. Rev. D. M- McLeod occupied the pulpit at Providence Baptist chureh and delighted his congregation. Monday morning conference con vened with prayer meeting bv Rev. T. C. O’Deal.' The bishop finished railing the 20t.h question and the morning was taken up hearing reports from the various boards. The report, of the board of missions brought out the fact that for the first time in the history of this confer ence the missionary claims have he* n paid in full. This is remarkable and a cause of great rejoicing, as this con ference is one hundred and twenty- two years old. Rev. G. T. Harmon gave a telling and timely talk on this report. Itev. H. B. Browne followed on the same line. As a result of these stirring addresses, the members of the con ference pledged the support of a mis sionary for next year, one hundred preachers pledging ten dollars each. The following report of the commit tee on hooks and periodicals was read and adopted: Education is the handmaid of re ligion, not only that education which is obtained in schools and colleges, but all knowledge and information that Is worth while. The more one knows of the church the more he is interested in its wel fare. The Methodist people ought to be well informed about the past and current history of their church, and ought to keep well posted on all its operations and movements The lay man who reads his church’s literature and knows most of what Is doing is best prepared to lend a loyal and church literature among the members. • church ' ,n The church is rich in Rood hooks hour before the time for meeting In this short ^ me "’ as taken up with stirring pace it is impossible to go into de-i^ i ' n * experiences The burden & of the experiences was that this con- and good periodicals, space it is impossible tails and to enumerate books that are Edgefield—L.

We commend the publications of the church—the Nashville Advocate, the Epworth Era, the Visitor, Go For ward. Especially do we commend our own conference organ, the South ern Christian Advocate. • It is a most excellent paper, deserving uur hearty support. The subscruption list has been largely increased within the past year, it ought to he 15,000, and will be if we all do our duty toward it. Let all our ministers make it an object to circulate good church litera ture. both books and periodicals, among the people of their charges. ■k— it will greatly help them in their work in creating a more intelligent and better informed membership, and more loyal, liberal, zealous and enthusias tic workers in every department of ***$" church enterprise.
