Franklin. Va.. July 14.?The Ports? mouth Methodist District Conference assembled here at 0 a. m. to-day. with: Rev. W. C. Vadcn presiding. Tho session was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Carey, of Port Norfolk. Local preacher":; license of Rev. Wal? ter G. Parker, of Renn'a Church, was renewed f.>r another year. The Committee on Quarterly Con? ference Minutes, and also the Commit? tee on the Rible Cause, submitted their reports. The American Elble Society has distributed 6:..000.000 Illbles trans? lated mto loo different languages. Tho Committee on Sunday Schools made a report in which, among other things, they recommended that efforts be made to obtain suitable libraries for such of tho schools as are not already .supplied. Tho committee also recom? mended that a District Sunday-School Convention be held at some time and ? place to be selected by the presiding ! eldor. and to be held In conjunction with the Epworth League Convention. The report was adopted. The following were elected lay repre? sentatives to the annual conference to be held in Petersburg next November: I>elegates-i'. C. Vaughan, of Frank? lin: John w. H. Porter, of Portsmouth; YV. D. Folke, of Smlthfield, and Dee Dritt, of Suffolk. Alternates?A. w. Ely, of Suffolk; J. i C. Parker, of Franklin; W. H. Vincent, of S luthampton, and W. D. Wilder, of Portsmouth. The Committee on Epworth League submitted a very Interesting report, telling where tho organization is pros ' poring and where not. The committee ! thought the principal obstacle In the ; way of organizing leagues all over the ' district is tho difficulty iu obtaining suitable persons as leaders. The devo? tional feature of the league is well at? tended to, but the literary and social features have been somewhat neglect? ed. The committee recommended that a District Convention of Leaguers be held during the next year. The report was adopted. Rev. Herbert M. Hope addressed the conference in behalf of the Richmond Christian Advocate, with which he Is connected as associate editor. The Committee on the Spiritual State of the Church reported that there had been a gratifying growth of the church in this particular: there had been ir?jre than 400 conversions In this district tills year; the sacrament of the Lord's sup? per has been well attended, and ther* i has been a growth in the attendance I upon prayer meetings and In family worship. The committee recommended that the ministers preach special ser? mons on the subject of family wor? ship as a means of spiritual giowlh. The report was adopted. Tile Committee on Circuit Boundaries reported that changes had been sug gested in the circuits, but they would not recommend any changes at this time. The presiding elder made a brief speech in behalf of the Woman's Mis? sionary Society and asked the ladies of the church to give it a cordial sup? port when Mrs. Dritt, the organizer, came around. The thanks of the conference were ex? tended to the presiding elder and secre? tary, and al?o to the people of Franklin, who, regardless of denomination or sect, had given the conference such a hearty and hospitable reception, and also to those transportation companies which had given reduced rates to the delegates. Attention was called to the fact that the Portsmouth District paid up the salariosof its preachers last year closer than any other district In the confer? ence. There was a deficiency in only two churches, amounting in both to only ?1H3.2S. Having finished Its labors the con? ference adjourned after a most de? lightful session. The people of Frank? lin were unbounded in their hospitali? ty and entertained the conference like princes. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT SOLD.
