WILL FEAST AT LUMINA.
The association will hold its an

January 10 and 11, according to the
decision of the executive committee
yesterday. That will be during the
session of the General Assembly.
The committee yesterday - made it
plain that in addition to nearing
views from representatives of North
Carolina cities relative to framing
bills for city charters and other pur
poses made necessary by the recent
mittee oh orphanage to appropriate
$400 each to Tie Advocate for one

Rev. J. H. Hall, J. C. Wooten, D.
H. Tuttle and others made objection
to the plan outlined in the resolu

pose and using it for another. Rev.
J. H. Hall said that it would place
the church in a. bad light to tag any
other cause on to the assessments,
each one ought to stand on its own

each church a certain number of
subscriptions to be responsible for.

The resolution called for endorse

Anti-Saloon League to be presented
at the next legislature for enactment.
It requested the preachers to preach
on prohibition within the next two
months, and let the people know the
legislative program outlined. The
churches, Sunday-schools and Ep
worth Leagues were urged to send
delegates to the next biennial con
vention to be held in Raleigh the mid

The Anti-Saloon League was en

"Have you been tempted to be

Lo one of the young men. "Well, I

Gambling With the Itinerancy.
- "If any man in this conference is
unwilling to go- to any appointment
and go gladly let him retire now be
fore the appointments are made up,"
said Bishop Kilgo, in the course of
his morning1 talk to the conference.
'If he stays and grumbles about hia
appointment' later - he is a gambler
with the itinerancy and is making a
fortune wheel of it."
The bishop based his opening re
marks on the doctrine of. selt-abne-gatlori
; and self-sacrifice. The bishop
said that he was -not unmindful of
the frailties, of human nature and the
temptations to bedeck one's brow and
parade one's gldry; He was afraid
that the ministers r were coming, to
