Religious services were couducted by Rev. C. U. Durant, of Cra ven circuit, who, continuing the subject oi the morning, said that one irreat hin drance to administering dis ipline in our churches was due to the fact that pas- tors could not get their official boards to act with them in the matter of dealing with offending members would report such members, but "did not desire their names mentioned in the matter." On the same subject, Rev. Mr. Noyle said tnat preocuera who were iaithiul in discipline sometimes had their necks broke, aud wer kept on the move by the presiding elders, who listened to wealthy members who were hot living right Others had had similar experience. To succeed in administering discipline, the pastor must have tne sympathy and aid of both his church and presiding elder. Rev. C P. Snow said be had two mem bers who were distilling liquors. He put them on trial. They said: "We pay 50 of the f 80 you get at this church, and if you turn us out you can't live, and. the church will go down."
