Flip, oer in his closing remarks thankl ed the presiding elders, the minis. had any nart in^hoIninr the'haul worked pastors t</ bring such a re. port to this conference. He con. tinued and said this was the most pleasant and one of he best, if not "the best Whfgj'etit'e T Tmvo 'jvor hold in nty life and I am taking time to let you know how T nnnm ciato it. The conference went wild with applause. The presiding elders.; had their ^ministers ready tP-~read and all rcrd loud wi+h uii derstaning, even the mission men read loud, not a minister was late one morning. When the ministers were through reading, Bishop Flip per said that this conference has increased in dollar money accessions, conversions financially and the beauty part of it, you all seem to be happy. . Hats oif to Revs. T. 11. Addison. H. D. Ramsey, O. C, Dunham and W.-'Jv Robirrson who "printed?the old, ship" and brought it in safe from all harm These young giants worked haid~"wrth. their pastors, made friends with them and the job was easy to put over whenever there is cooperation between :lers. ?WAN KR A h-CON FKfl The question is being asked by many why the Columbia Gffnfer. L-nce' with all of its college men us pastors, did not elect one of its number '.<> the General Conference. rhis is t. * explanation. We plan red to ek . a pastor, but Thurs. Inv night meeting brought out 'NEW EVIDENCE" rnd for tho rood of all concerned^"the leading rastors had to get out the raco >r else other things might -havo lappened. At fir. t we fought that uggestion, but leaders o"f the con. 'erence made us see it wasn't any 'selfish motive" of theirs to go, )ut a necessity for the good of ill of us. However, we wish to say his is .no pattern for any Confer nee to follow. We hope the other hree Conferences' will elect one >f its pastors to the General Conerence. We were slated to he the irst alternate, but Bishop Flipper uled us out of order and those vho want to go to the General Conference from now on, better jet in the first race and run and lev: make the same mistake as did. APPONITMENTS The presiding elders need to be ommended in the way thy made heir recommendations-for appoint nents. The majority of conerregaions and ministers are satisfied, 'hose presiding ..elders are young iut progressive and they stand eady to help any ministers who iceds them. May Gcrd bless all of hem.
