THE BANQUET A Splendid Address Dy Dlshop Kilgo An occasion unique in charac ter and crowdedi with pleasure in its every detail was the banquet given at the Elwood hotel last night by the Stewards of Wash ington Street M. E. church, com plimentary to the laymen of that congregation. This occasion was emphasized and interest added by the presence of liishop Kilgo, who made the principal address of the evening, and some of the former presiding Elders and pas tors. The guests assembled in the upstairs lobby at 8 o'c'ock and had a most delightful social meet ing before going into the dining room. There were 125 present, almost all male members of the congregation, a very impressive gathering and one' which reflect ed credit upon this, the largest church in the city. There was the genuine old-fashioned Methodist hand-shake and welcome, the in lluence of which was no doubt felt by all. A quartette compos ed of Fred X. Tate. Ad Hums. . V. Garrett and (.). F. Men denhall rendered appropriate vocal music. Not only from a de nominational standpoint, but from one of civic pride, this array of christian manhood was otie for encouragement and pride in its strength. At 9 o'clock this large body ol men filed into the dining room, where Mr. Lewis Woodson had prepared a .most tempting menu. The company stood while the blessing was asked by Rev. Dr. F. 11. Wood, of Trimty, a former Presiding Elder of this district. Menu Uisqlle of Tomato Pili Money Pickles Cjucen Olives I'.roiled Lamb Chops. Mushroom Candied Yams Asparagus.

Dr. W. G. P.radshaw was toast master and in his usual happy manner extended a cordial greet ing to all. This was followed by another splendid vocal selection by the quartette, which was voci tiously applauded and justly so. In introducing liishop Kilgo, Dr. P.radshaw referred to him as a human, physical dynamo and expressed the genuine pleasure it brought to the hearts of the men in having him present. Dr. Kilgo said he found himself in the same poistion of the young man was who asked Horace Greely for ad vice about getting married, lie was told that in either case he would regret it. He felt like that if he spoke he would regret it,' and if he didn't he would have the same feeling. He said that he congratulated himself on being a member of that great fraternity composed of the christian man hood and - womanhood of the country, the greatest on earth. In it the highest achievement of man was carried out, 1 lave the Methodist church. I like it for all sorts of reasons and if I be longed to another denomination f would feel perfectly at home with the brethren. I like the Methodist church for its develop ment amid peculiar historical dif-J ficulties and events and especial A SUCCESS ly what it has done on this con tinent. In it there is a bond of union which historians have not discovered, a fraternity noted for its spirit of freedom as well as genuine hospitality. Asking the direct question, what is your conference what does this organized power mean? Dr. Kilgo went into an eloquent defense and explanation of the great work of the church, the benefits of the itinerent system, the sacrifices made in carrying it out and the genuine patroitism exhibited, such as that which was exhibited by the son of God. A demonstration of true democracy, a spirit which show s that it cares for humanity it-elf, and not sim ply the forms for" carrying out democracy. This highest form of democracy can be seen in the Methodist machinery in all his tory, embracing men and women in all walks of -life, going into the log cabin as well as the palace, ind requiring of all alike 110 more nor no less, the spirit of true democracy the love of human- Touching upon the home life, Dr. Kilgo paid a most beautiful tribute to what the world finally idniits is the best society, the Goil-ltiving, God-fearing men and women, who liye the higjieni te as laid 'down ' by Jesus Christ," which starts around the family altar and ends in heaven. It is the best society not only from a spiritual .staiKrpoint, but from a worldly one. Said Dr. Kilgo, go to your tax books, to the places of business and places of trust and you will find So per cent of the men church members. A man born in a christian home ami guarded by christian influences in his bringing up is even better oft than kings. All things in life worth the while are measured by the religious faith of the people. In closing this eloquent speech Dr. Kilgo congratulated the Methodist people here on the work that had been done and felicitated them on that which they proposed to do. He was pleased that they contemplated building a new church which they should do under the bless ings of God. The addres contain ed all of the elements of the finish ed product, such as few men can make, and it was not only high ly enjoyed by all, but its inlluence will benefit the church and com ntum'ty as well. Rev. Dr. F. II. Wood, who has been a member of the conference for 52 years was the next speak er who supplemented part of Dr, Kilgo's able address with in teresting and helpful experiences during his long service as a preacher. Dr. Wood enjoined on his hearers to always observe the golden rule, be good men. de claring that this would solve all problems not only locally but everywhere, lie closed .with ''a touching allusion to his last lab ors and a benediction to the work as it falls into -the hands of younger men. Dr. Wood was followed b'y Rev. J. K. Thompson, a former pastor. Rev. W. R. Ware, presid" mg elder, Pastor Parnhardt and Dr. Dred Peacock whose short talks fitted in appropriately as a finish to the splendid exercises; The benediction was pronounced by Rev.
