Figt 1 , " ' 1 "The Old Gray" | 1 __b, : . . : Rev. E. Philip Ellis - X .... Central Conference - si Peace and harmony characterized the above named Conference held at St. Matthews last week. Like the Palmetto, North-east, Co IumbiaL South Carolina and Piedmont conferences the session was , 1 ? , a regular love feast from begin Wing to end. Tho rnnfororice thi<: year held by Bishop f'bpper were pronounced the best in the state's history. The gospel of love which the bishop came here preaching "has brought peace out of confir." sion. Both rpinisters and laymen are nraisinir Cod for thi* wnrLcWful leader. They left these confer ences witn resolutions to make better reports next year than they -?V- have ever done in all of their livgs^ This is due to the fine treatment accorded them by' our noble chieftain. Mrs S. L. Flipper met- the Missionary women and her gifted speeches made a noble impression upon them A. Fine Team * Drs. Samuel Nnnce, L. 11. flem? ingway and B. F-Hildubiand mi' real f^ne presiding elders. Dr. Hildebrand presided Thursday evening and distinguished himself as a prince in the chair. He spokt " in glowing terms of Bishop and Mrs. Flipper. Dr. Samuel Nance the gifted gospel preacher, an vangelist, knows how to treat hi> men. And they don't fail to stand by him. A Bishop can 7 depend upon such, presiding eld jrs. Dr. L. H Hemingway is one of the best Church. He is the man fpr the Church Extension Dept. We are not thinking about anybody else. ^ Any: man_-who cannot handle" a puppy, should have better sense than to tackle a bull dog, "Catch the point." The chpwh should ?strive tu elevate men who have acquired a financial rating to make =~T geneial uffloers and bishops out~of paupers means^feimply to entice them to steal. Men like Dr. Hemingway and Dr. T. J Miles, are not?seeking?high?pusilioits TTT the Church to get money, but to render greater -service. Enough Oflidr? (To be continued.) Sermons and Addressed Dr. D. G. Gadsden preached a wonderful annual sermon we were told. The Thanksgiving . sermon bv Dl* fl f! TnVincnr, it-no 4 U ^ 4-^11. I of the Conference- Prr>f W ft Rmu. man stirred the conference from the pulpit to the door. 'They say "Booster" pulled the bull over the bridge." Addresses by Gen. Mgr. .Curry of Philadelphia and Dr. J ;M. Harrison, state evangelist were also some of the high spots of the conference. Dr. E. H. McGill ? made the "speech of his life o n Friday evening: soru" it "m>b the best in the series; but this wri I ter .claims all six to be the best. Many thanks to the following who remembered The Palmetto Leader: Drs. E. H. McGill, Samuel Nance, B. F Hildebrand, L H Hemingway, D J. Gadsden, M. M. Martin, Mr L B Rivers, R_ David* James, E E. Richburg, J. A.- DeLaine and Ambrose Simmons. The Rev. J. I Hamtlton who leads our subscription list at every confertmce is one of the best Conference Secretaries in the A.I M? E. Church, He is the popular pastor of Live Oak charge Dr. J P. Washington goes to Anderson. And while he has one of the best charges in the Piedmont Confer, ence that congregation has one of the best preachers in the state. Cameron will be well pjeased with Dr. Parker. t A . Profitable Argument At the parsonage in St. Matthews' a conversation arose _a&.. to the frequent moving of a young cultured pastor fn this state. The cause as that was brought out in tho conversation was that thfs minister's wife follows him every way he goes. While the people have no objection of the visitation of ministers' wives, but none of them wants nis wife going in and out every time he goes. There are timcs^when they want to see the minis tar fey -himsolf; and uri- " bosom their tfbfibles to him. Then there are times when they want .. to see the minister's wife, so they can tell her what they could not 4.^11 W. *.r t wen me minister. now wnen IDG I preacher and his wife get behind J i closed doors, both can talk of the problems. a? given them by, their members; and find a solution and carry it back to the members. In sending out disciples the Master sent two and two, but they were men, and not^men and their wives And preachers must remember that their wives did not receive the commission tq go. therefore, they should stay at home sometime. ' And whenever a preacher cannot go on his work without carrying his wife with him, the people will soon importune the proper authorities to relieve Unflif of such afflictions. -Bishop Flipper runs the state and every annual conference without his wife figuring in, and soon .jy;eachers cannot hold an official board, without the is.dstance of their \vives. If they only hear the peuple Utlklhg .ibjut them, after they are gone; they would never return,?Every minister should have heprd that conversation in Dr; Lykes' parson ige indulged in by both presiding ciders and" pastors.,; I" was pleasSt Matthews, he gave the Old Mother Conference one of the best [ entertainments in its history.
