CANDOR. Dear Brother Massey: I closed an eleven days' meeting at Candor last evening. Brother R. S. Arrowood, of the Presbyterian Church, preached one sermon, on "Christ the Way," which was good. He also helped us audi during the meeting by his presence, and by prayer and song rnd other work. Dr. L. L. Nash, one of our Con lerence Evangelists, was with me eight days, and did the preaching while here, and did it well, and greatly endeared himself to those people by his strong, spiritual ser mons, and genial fellowship. Visible result: twelve accessions on profession of faith, and three to join by certificate, which makes twenty-one to join this Church this year. Yours sincerely, GEORGE T. SIMMONS. HA TT ERAS. Dear Brother Massey: Our sec ond Quarterly Meeting was held at Hatteras, on May 6, with our able and efficient Presiding Elder, Rev. G. T. Adams, in the chair. For a midweek service our people gra ciously responded to the call, and our three Churches were well repre sented by their official boards. Dur ing the meeting Brother Adams laid special stress upon the usefulness of Missionary Societies; many of our good sisters being present, they are now formulating a missionary organization. Before closing the meeting he presented the claims of the Christian Advocate, but unfor tunately for the people, only secured one subscription. This was Brother Adams' first trip to Hatteras, though not his first trip to the seashore, yet we will ven ture to assert that he has not come in touch with a more loyal or hospit able people than those who live close to nature, where every passing breeze and the swirl of the restless sea proclaim the wisdom and power of God. Under these favorable con ditions of coming in daily touch with the surroundings and environments of these people we have a greater in sight into the impulsive, restless nature of the Apostle Peter. Brother Adams, while here cap tured the hearts of these people not only by his great power of oratory, but by the deeper truths of spiritual religion that hallowed his remarks; that made each thought a personal appeal to man for the acceptance of Jesus Christ as his individual Saviour. As we wait for his coming again we pray the blessings of God to be with him as he goes among his peo ple and that this will be a great year for the upbuilding of the King dom of God, and the Elizabeth City District will stand in the forefront of the happy converted army, being led into "the way, the truth and the life." Beginning on the first of June, Brother L. L. Nash will conduct a thirty-days meeting for us, and as we realize "It is not by might nor by power, but by my spirit sayeth the Lord Jehovah" we ask the conse crated prayers of the great Church of the living God that His spirit will descend mightily upon us, and hun dreds will "cease to do evil and learn to do well." E. L. HILL, P. C. I AYETTEVILLE DISTRICT CON FERENCE. In the strenuous business times we are now having it is good to lay aside business for a few days and attend a District Conference. The reaction that comes to one who lays aside the business cares and joins heartily in the co-operative and gen ial spirit of a district conference is fully worth the time and consider ation. 'When the fiftieth conference of the Fayetteville District convened ai Parkton there was present an abund ance of the spirit of brotherhood and Christian fidelity. It seemed that all had come together in one accord and things worked harmoniously. The conference convened at 7:15 p. m., Wednesday, May 12.- Dr. J. T. Gibbs presiding. E. S. Yar brough. of Duke, was elected secre tary. A committee on public wor ship and one to examine the Quar terly Conference records were ap pointed. At 8 p. m., Rev. J. II. Shore preached the opening sermon, which was indicative of his fidelity and love for the fundamentals of our Church. At the morning session on Thurs day reports from the various charges were read and all but three charges reported their missions raised and these three charges were not much behind. Dr. Gibbs is one of those Presiding Elders who asks for the mission money early and generally succeeds in getting it. Dr. L. S. Massey, of Raleigh, was introduced to the conference and spoke in behalf of the Advocate. He stated that they no longer carry patent medicine advertisments and with this income cut off and the hard times prevailing the Advocate needed the support of every member of the Church. Rev. M. T. Plyler, Presiding El der of the Raleigh District, spoke in behalf of Jenkins Memorial Church, which is our Orphanage ' Church. Judging from the reports of the various pastors the Fayetteville Dis trict is in excellent shape, both spiritually and financially, except the Hope Mills Charge, which is com posed chiefly of a cotton mill com munity and the mills have all been shut down. At the eleven o'clock hour Rev. F. N. Parker, of Trinity College, preached, embodying in his sermon the same theme of loyalty and sup port of the mother Church. The laymen did the most of their work at the afternoon session. E. S. Yarbrough wap elected district lay leader. The following were elected delegates to the Annual Con ference, S. P. Hatch. J. H. Judd, F. C. Yarbrough, J. B. Atwater. Rev. H. E. Spence, of Sanford, was in the pulpit Thursday night and upheld his usual standard of good preaching. Friday morning was given up to the discussion of revivals. A reso lution was passed and telegraphed President Wilson endorsing his ac tion and assuring him of the pray ers and support of the Fayetteville District Conference. Dr. Gibbs re ceived the following acknowledg ment: The White House, Washington, May 14, 1915. "My Dear Mr. Gibbs: The Presi dent directs me to acknowledge the receipt of your kind message of to day, and to thank you most heartily for it. He asks me to assure you. and, through you, the members of the Fayetteville District Conference, of his genuine appreciation of this generous expression of confidence and sympathy. "Sincerely yours, "J. F. Tumulty, Secretary to the President." Mr. J. T. Gibbs, Fayetteville. N. C. The next District Conference will meet at Dunn, N. C. Conference ad journed at the close of the morning session sine die. E. S. YARBOROUGH, Secretary. CAROLINA COLLEGE COMMFVri ME NT. h" Last Sunday morning at olevo o'clock Dr. M. Bradshaw. of VjiS0D preached the opening sermon jn College Auditorium, which was fin' ed with interested hearers. Dr. Bradshaw is well known to our people, having served the Meth odist congregation in Maxton five years one more than the lirnit- and made friends and admirers of all our people of all and no denorai ations. He held the close attention of the large congregation to the end. At eight o'clock Sunday evening. Rev. J. E. Underwood. Presiding El der of the New Bern District, preach ed the sermon before the Y. v. c Association of the College, -rp sermon was based upon the last clause of John 20:21, "As My Father hath sent Me even so send I you." The discourse was earnest, forceful and made a deep impression upon the minds of those who hearrl him. The various religious societies of the town sat with the members of the Association. A fine audience gathered in the splendid College Auditorium at eleven a. in. Tuesday, when the grad uating exercises were held. On the rostrum were President Mercer; Rev. J. E.
