The Western North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, conven ed at 8.30 o'clock this morning for the transaction of the busi ness of the second day of the an nual session. Bishop Collins Denny conduct ed the devotional service with which the session began and de livered another devotional ad dress. It is gratifying to the Confer ence to know that Bishop Denny will deliver an address similar to the two already delivered, during the first half hour every morning during the session. The minutes of the session of Wednesday were read and ap proved. The roll of members of REV. W. R. WARE Presiding Elder Greensboro District. the Conference wfio did not an swer to their names at the ses sion of 'Wednesday was -called and showed that quite a number of the preachers and lay-delegates who were not present on Wed nesday were here this morning. The call of the 22nd question was resumed : "Are all the preach ers blameless in their life and official administration?" was con tinued and the presiding elders of the five districts whose .names were not called on Wednesday were called at this time, and they having passed the nomination of the fololwing named members of the Conference to constitute the Committee on Sabbath Observ ance: C. W. Byrd.'J. F. Shinn. M. B. Clegg, II. H. Jordan, C. II. Ireland. L. G. W. Williams, XI. H. Tuttle. M. D. Shook, A. W. Plyler and J. E. Thompson. REV. W. L. v Secretary The committee of investigation in the case of G. E. Eaves report ed that a trial of this case is ne cessary and requested the ap pointment of a committee of trial and the appointment of J. E. Woosley to represent the church. Bishop Denny announced that on account of the fact that i. Vance Price had found it impos sible to serve on the , committet of investigatino in the case of B.. M. Jackson, and that he had ap pointed A. R. Surratt as a mem- 1 Gocond Day N. O. Conforonco ber of this committee in his stead. In the course of the re ports of the presiding elders, 'Bishop Denny again called atten tion to different interests of the church upon which special em phasis should be placed. He spoke in this connection of his regret that during the past 25 years the assessment of the Meth odist Episcopal church, South, for foreign missions has increased only 5 cents per member and the assessment of the church for this cause at the present time is only 46 cents per capita. The total membership of the church at the present time, he showed to be 1,027.300 and the tota assess- j m-ent for foreign missions for this i year is only $400,000. ' Bishop Denny then called at tention to the fact that during . the past 25 years the Southern 1 Presbyterian church has increas ' ed the per capita contribution to ! foreign missions from 75 cents ; to $1.70, while in the same time the Methodist Episcopal church, j South, has increased in per capita 1 contribution to this cause from 30 cents to 46 cents. "I hone, he said. that our 1 Presbyterian brethren. with I whatever the objection we have 1 to their creed. 'will continue to incite us to larger accomplish j ment in the work of foreign mis sions, for we are far behind them, and we are dragging along and getting out of breath, with our burden of 46 cents per member for foreign missions. Plato T. Durham, presiding elder of the Winston district, re quested iJishop Denny to sug gest some means by which the attendance of church member; may be increased at the quarter ly meeting services held in the country places of the district. The attendance at these services in the country churches at present nc said, are very small, and a "stirring up" on this question, he said, is needed. Mr. Durham said further that recently he took a census in an official board of a church on the Winston district with reference to the observance of family wor ship and that only one member of that board held up his hand, and that when he took a similar census with reference to the ob servance of daily reading of the Bible not one hand was held up SHERRILL Conference. and only one member of that offi cial board stated that he read the Bible regularly on Sunday. Mr. Durham said also, that when he was asked why it is that so few young men are entering the min istry of this church, he had re plied that it was not to be won dered .at that men were not en tering the: ministry from homes of this kind. Mr. Durham spoke especially of the work of West End church, "For Good of Commun- RECORDER EDMONDS SEN TENCES WILLIARD. The case of June Williard came up again this morning and the court was asked to modify judgment and to reduce punish ment of sentence on the county roads to a fine. The defense was represented by I.. 15. Williams, Esq., who is a very able pleader and who plead for the mercy of the court for his client and did all that could have been done to save Williard from the roads The offense of retailing is one in which Williard has previously figured a dozen times or more. In fact we think that the police records show that he has been convicted already as many as six different times. Recorder Ed monds was disposed to be emin ently fair in his decision, and in refusing o allow counsel's mo tion he said:' "This is a case where seeming ly mercy and justice can no long er be companions. Love of pun ishment is not the aim of the law or the desire of this court. It a fine will serve to correct an evil, then that is the proper r:m edy. But when that means fails, then the public welfare not only justifies but demands more dras iic measures. The good of the community and not our personal feelings should be our guide." Williard was taken to the con vict camp at noon. CHARLOTTE WANTS CON FERENCE. C. C. Hook and J. L. Carroway of the Charlotte clubs were here yesterday to emphasize the in- vitaiton whkh, Charlotte will give through Dr. Marr for the Conference in 1913. Everybody in Charlotte wants the Confer ence. one of the younger churches of the district. He called attention particularly to the fact that this church pays the salary "f the pastor and all of the assessments in advance, and said he believed this is not true of any other church in the connection. He re quested iBishop Denny to call at tention to this fact in other con ferences where he presides. Under the call of the 22nd question, the characters of the preachers sustaining the super numerate relation to the- confer ence were passed. Letters to the conference from several of the superannuate . preachers were read, M. C. Field and F. H. Wood, two of the superannuate preach ers spoke to the conference. D. B. Coltrane submitted the report of the Board of Publica tions of the North Carolina Christian Advocate and urged an awakening of the Conference re garding the support of this paper. He stated that only 7210 new subscribers had been secured the past year. Answering question 1, "Who are admitted on trial," seven ap plicants were admitted to the Conference on trial. Bishop Den ny announced the following nam ed memberof the Conference to constitute the committee of trial in the case of G. E. Eaves: II. II. Jordan, J. C. Keever, W. V. Huneycutt, J. J. Barker, W. L. Hutchins, Albert Sherrill, T, E. Wagg, R. D. Sherrill, T. C. Jor dan, Z. Paris, A. L. Stanford, L. P. -Bogle and W. O. Goode. W. E. Abernethy will repre sent Mr. Eaves, and W. A.
