Conference met at 1:80, Bishop Mor
rison In' the chair. The devotional ex
ercises were, -conducted by Ber. Z. T.
Harrison. 1
The minutes of yesterday a session were
lead asd approTedt y '
Tua lay. delegates who bad arrived
since yesterday were anndnnced by the
Presiding Elders, .
R. W. Townsend was on motion - re
ferred to the committee on Conference
Relations for the supernumerary re
lation. ' ' '
Question 80 was resumed and the
characters of the preachers in the Wash
ington, Elizabeth City, New Bern, and
Warrengton districts were, passed and
their reports were submitted.
The credentials of J. A. Rouse, a for
mer member of this conference and of
6. K. Andrews were surrendered to the
conference.
Bishop Morrison asked T. J. Qattls if
he desired-to say anything to the con
ference, and he replied that he had no
statement to make.
R. J. Moorman was referred to the
committee on Conference Relations for
the superannuated relation and 8. Lef-
fert and C, W. Smith to the same com
mittee for the supernumerary relation.
A communication was read from the
President of Greensboro Female Col
lege and was referred to the Board of
Education.
The cause of the suffererB in Southern
Methodism In Galveston caused by the
destructive cyolone in September last
was represented by D. H. Tuttle.
When we sing of love for Christ and
His church," said he, "how far does that
love reach f '
Next to the wreck of a human being
to me the saddest sight on earth is a
storm destroyed church, or the bare
walls of a church which has been
burned.
Satan does his most effectual work
when he destroys a church even tempo
rarily. The good which comes from such a
catasltophy as that which has visited
Galveston It shows us how others love us
"Let os open our hearts, and open our
pockets, and make such an offering -for
suffering Methodism in Galveston as
will make glad the heart of the Son of
God."
Bishop Morrison stressed the lrapor
tance of making a liberal collection to
this worthy cause and requested the Sec
retary to eall the roll of the Conference,
and give the members the opportunity
of contributing. This with the basket
collection amounted to $933.50.
Rev. J. H Prttcbett, D. D one of ths
Missionary Secretaries of the M. E.
Church, South addressed the conference
on his work. Some of the thoughts
which be advanced are found below:
"Every oboe In a while I bear a pes
simistic groan from the church at homi
regarding our missionary work, but i
am here to tell you tbat our work was

"AH the work of the world that has

are eligible, and be requested those to be
received to prepare themselves by ob

The 20th question having been com
pleted and the characters of all the
preachers having passed Bishop Morri
son suggested an earlier ad'onrnment
than usual, and on motion of E. A. Tales
the conference adjourned after an.
nouncementt, at 1 p. m. with the Dene
diction by Rev. Dr. Prltchett.
. Addreae at Might.
The educational anniversary of the
Conference waa held at night and the
address was delivered by Rev. J. 0.
Kilgo, D. D. His subject was on Edu
cation and below will be found only a
few of the many thoughts suggested.
Methodism is a very serious form of
faith. No one can touch its early litera
ture without being Impressed with this
seriousness.
The early Methodists were not con
cerned about outward environment.
They were just as powerful under an
oak tree as In a cathedral.
"This however has characterized
Methodism from the beginning and must
continue to characterize her if she is to
continue to do tbe work God Intends
her to do.
Whatever Methodism undertakes she
must undertake seriously, whether this
be a prayer-meeting or an excursion for
children. t
"We were not commissioned to be
frivolous, but to do the work of God in
seriousness.
"The educational work of Methodism
must be carried on In the same spirit of
seriousness as she 'runs a camp meet
ing. "We must found this work In the se
rious faith of our Methodism and our
people must be made to understand that
It rests there. .
We ere not trying to secure popular
praise; we are not trying to have men
laud us, but we are trying to do the
work of God.
"It has been suggested that In our ed
ucational work we need popular favor.
When did Methodism Ret that dis
ease ?
"There are two ways by which you
msy gsin popularity. First by thinking
and doing as other men think and do. or
by not thinking and doing like anyone
else. A negative popularity at leaat It
gained by this process.
"I hold tbst no man has a right to
compromise bis individuality for the
sake of popularity.
Methodism cannot afford to make
this compromise. The price to be paid
it loo high.
Too might trim your college so as to
make It popular. Too might trim tbe
eiamioatloDS down to that any one
could enter. You might lower ber
ttaodard of conduct until the meanest
man could stay there. But thank Ood
we don't here to do this and will not do
It.
"The other way to gala popularity It
to bold to a truth until yo seeks atea
tblok as you think.
there are a thousand things In this
world which aaed to be rlahted, aad lb
college aseet do bar part to right these.
"Tbe object of Ike eolleg meet be to
change mea. '
Wherever Methodises baa pleated
ber foot aba has eheagad seea. -,

1 love my country, I 'love her Baal
everywhere, but Hove my boy better
than my country, and I will do more for
my boy than for my country.
"Go back and get the motive ot the
home right and yon will save Method
ism irom ignorance and from- mean
ness. "The greatest guardian of a people Is
religion, not culture, but piety.
. "Now I want to remind yoa along one
another point. - Ton will never educate
a man right until, yoa get htm to value
the supernatural as he should.
"War hat been made upon the Bible
until It hat literally been dug out of the
mud. I dont want a Bible that is dug
ont of the mud, but a Bible that Is born
of God.
"War has been made upon prayer and
the effort has been made to have us be
lieve that prayer ia a mere devotional
exercise, bnt that no answer is available.
Thank God that answer is available. 1
don't want a God who is not; available.
A Uoa who is not available might as
well be dead. We must get man to the
point where he will realize the super
natural, which Is the power to move
upon the natural until tbe supernatural
becomes natural.
"The supernatural lifts man out of the
realm of nature and away from the
power of law, and up Into the realm
where grace lifts him to where he should
be.
"Whenever you undertake to solve
the problems of the world by the process
of natural law your education is lnfide
lic. Christian education existB alone !n tbe
power to realize and use the power of
the supernatural: It exists lu tbe power
to have fslth and to use it."
In conclusion Dr. Ellgo said:
"During the time I have been In yovr
college, I have seen a beautiful park
grow from an open ground where cows
grazed. I have seen her faculty grow
from eight men to one of twenty-four I
have seen her residences grow from
seven to twenty-three. I have seen her
endowment grow from $33,000 to $330.
000. You love your college snd the man
who raises a finger against ber does so
at the risk of tbe loss of Christian confi
dence and Chriatian life.
"If I should be asked where is Trin
ity's richest endowment I would say it
Is in the hearts of these men. All 1
ask of the North Carolina Conference
Is that you stand by God as He has stood
by you, tbat you stand by your college
now end In the future when she will
mean more to tbe cause of Christian
