These articles are kept at Wofford college, where, a large number, of gifts of the kind are to be seen. Conference will open with ap propriate exercises including; the sac rament of the Lord's supper and the calling; of the conference roll. There are about J50 ministers ana laymen expected to. attend.- - At this conference ; the constitu tional question of ' lafty rights for the women of the church will be voted upon. . This measure which was passed by the law making body of the churoh In May . must receive the sanction of the entire church, according - to' constitutional pro vision, before It becomes a law. So far the large-majority of conferences that have voted have ' ratified the measure.' - ' - ',.: The 1 announcement of the ap pointments of the preachers to the pastorial charges, for ' the ensuing year.' is one, of .the most Important features of the conference and is always the last business before adjournment- i i i - ' The last general conference made its possible, , under certain circum stances, for a pastor to remain in a charge longer than, four years. 'It Is not thought however that this will be frequently done and the preachers are 'often removed in less time than the four year limit. A notable feature Of the. con ference will be "Centenary Day," which will be observed November 28. Among the speakers :who pre sent the centenary program will be Dr. B. H. Rawlings, Dr. J. J. Stowe, Mrs. R. W. MacDonnell. ' of Nash ville, Tenn., Rev. ' J. T. ' Meyers, from Japan and Miss . Bell H. Ben nett, president of the woman's mis sionary council, of Richmond, Ky. The subjects to be discussed "Cen tenary Day" will be "World Re construction after - the War," God's Call to the Church in a i World's Crisis;" "The Church's Opportunity to Get out or uttieness into Big ness." . ' . Bishop -Darlington will, bo one of the principal' speakers. A leading laymen will discuss "Can We Put It Over?'.' and a- etereoptlcan. lecture will show the needs of .the mission fields. - -- This year's annual-conference ses sion promises to' be one of the most Interesting and. important, In the his tory of the organisation, While the centenary movement is already well known to the members of the con ference, great interest .will be aroused by the coming of these spe cialists who are highly i trained in missionary actlvtles. The centerary movement includes a world program based on a careful survey of need and opportunity, and a vigorous cam paign will be made to release the prayer power of the church by en- rolling tens 'of thousands in the "Fellowship of - Intercession" and , training them as prayer helpers. The program also Includes a 1 "Stewardship Drive" to secure en- ' rollment - of millions of Methodists who will acknowledge their steward- ship by the payments of the tithe. During the next five years of the' centenary celebration an earnest ap-i peal will be made for life service. 1 Strenuous efforts will be nade to recruit a large number of new workers for the ministry, home and foreign missions, and service in the local church. In the next five years, Southern Methodist expect . to raise $35,000,000 ' to be applied, to t war work, home and foreign mission, and church "extension. , - - JO . , HPS iO i n i In going to the .street car from the station, I was forced to carry a number of packages and a heavy grip, as there were.no porters in the small town where I was visiting. A strange young man offered to carry It for me and I let him. It was a great help. Was it perfectly all right to let him do It? . MISS A. K. D. ' There is no harm, In permitting a strange young man to assist you In this way if the grip is heavy or you have many packages. J3ut you should be certain that you are not taking him out of his way or inconveniencing him. A nod and cordial word of gratitude "are sufficient thanks for this service. .'. - .- -. , ; In the office where I am working there is a very pleasant young man. He has several times borrowed small sums of money from me, and I do not know what to say. He has never done anything about paying me back. What shall I do? ANNA C The young man you refer to evi dently never intends to pay. You were very fooHgh to lend money to hint, No self-respecting man would ever borrow money from a woman. Tou should ask him to return at once what he has already borrowed, and.

I am 19 and like to wear a thin waist because the place where I .work gets so hot sometimes. Also, in summer, I wear low-necked dress es. Some of the girls have laughed at me, and the forewoman spoke, to me yesterday. I was very mad, and would like to know what you think, - ; :- NINETEEN. I am afraid that the clothes you have .been wearing have not been very sensible. A girl or woman who Is working should try to dress 'ap propriately. A dark skirt, and a fresh white waist of linen or voile, or a simple, one-njiecs dress of some dark material gives a much more business-like appearance than a fan cy waist or low-necked dress. There Is a place for everything, and even ing is considered the time for more elaborate clothes. r -; I am very fond of reading, and a young man I know often lends me interesting books. My chum, says that it is not proper. , What should I doT - A. L, R. I see no harm in borrowing books If they are the right sort of books from a young man. , Anyone who Is fond of reading has unlimited de light In store for them. I admire a young man who Is fond of reading and desires to cultivate the . ' ac quaintance of a young lady who finds similar pleasure in books. But, on the other hand, reading Is like eating.
