WHOLE NO. 2122 - y te3T-&BlSHKI 1870?; PASTOR'S C0I1FEBEHCE A HOST ENJOYABLE ONE As pre-arranged,. the pastors came a fine lot of them-but xiot alL Wecould wish for all to iave been present. Those whcK came were : C. H. Durham (host) I. P. ..Hedge peth, , A. Hedgepeth, J. W. obb, O. P. Meeks, J. J. Scott, A. H. Lennon (a student at Stin eon Institute) J, B. Jackson, I. E. McDavid, R. L. Byrd, D, P. Bridges, A. H. Porter, A. El C. Pitman and the writer. I- Prominent among the visitors were brethren : Williams, Barnes, S. S. Phillips, and W. P. Barker It was with regret that " Pas tor Meeks could not remain -with us through the entire meet5 ings; also that pastors Porter nd Byrd found it necessary to return home before we were ready. Again, our meetings were marred because of the essen tial absence of Pastor I. P. Hedgepeth, who was called to the bedside of his dying mother. Assuredly he had, 'and has the profound sympathy of the brotherhood. To all con cerned we extend our sincere .sympathy. These meetings were found to be most helpful. The breth ren spoke eloquently and en thusiastically. The speeches were all of a high order and the criticisms were characterized toy love and tenderness. It would give us great pleas ure indeed to report something of each speech, but time is of the essence and space is valua- H Tt will suffice to aav that there were no mean speakers present: but we must give brother J. J. Scott the preference. On some very much misunderr stood, misinterpreted and per; plexing Scriptures Heb. 6:1-9: 10:26-29, he threw a flood of light. ' i Brother Scott is a scholar and conceives well his speeches and ermons. This accounts for the glad reception of them. His interpretation of these Scriptures would do honor to the columns of any theological or religious journal. - We adjourned to meet again June 12-14, 1906. This will be a conference of preparatory study and prayer ; for a revival of religious awaken ing among the churches. It is to be hoped that every preacher will attend and also the lay members will find time to meet with us and help us. To be sure a goodly number might at tend, j ' v' Again, we thank Brother Dur ham and his ood people for their excellent hospitality. It was all that could be desirMl p " , f. ' RAFT SWAMP NOTES.
