C. M. E. Aaaul Conference.
THIRD DAY'S SESSION.
The conference was called at
9:50 Rev. G. W. Flack opened
the services after the approval
of the ministers the Rev Dr.
Nash of the M. E. church South
and Mr. Moore wee introduced.
Dr. Nash made one of the most
instructive and soul stirring
speeches that has as yet graced
the conference. He 8ated he
loved Methodism wherever
found it regardless of color and
of all colored Methodist youis
seems the dearest and closest
because it was bom of m
church (M. E. church Souths
and we have never been asham
ed of you. The Dr was full of
fire and the Holy Ghost anr;
said many good things to us.
Bishop J. A. Beebe made some
interesting words in reply, com
plimenting the doctors address
and staled: Dr. Nash whenever
you can say one good woid for:
the colored man do it. we are
dependent on the christians for
our succor. There is no strife
between you and I and I believe
that the race troubles that do
now exist if left tc the convert
ed, religious whites and blacks
in the South, it will soon be
harmonized. In all the riots
and lynchirgs that have been,
there has never been a member
of t'.e C. M. E. chiirch impli
cated or lvnched. It is much
to say, yet thankful it is true.
Dr. Nash arose and bore wit
ness t the fact. A vote of
ihanks was tendered the doctor
for his address. Rev. J. J.
Scarlett was introduced, and
made some remarks to the con
ference. The reports were con
