The Conference.
The annual conference of the
dethodist Episcopal, South, con
ened Wednesday .morning ns has
>een announced. Bishop Key has
lever looked down upon a more
utelligent and devoted body of
ninisters than were present upon
he opening day. Earnest, zealous,
aithful, they have labored tbe
jast year with their charges and
ire now here to make a report of
heir stewardship tind to receive
jotice of their assignments for
mother year Many of them give
ividence of a long1 life of privation
md carry the weight of years; but
;hese faithful devotees to the
;anse of the Master still exhibit
that spirit of dauntless energy
that has followed them throughout
their eventful careers. Among the
number are the sturdy, middle
aged ami young who are now in
the vigor- of a buoyant life and
ready to carry the gospel to the re
motest pluces. Opou their shoul
ders is placed the duties and res
ponsibilities which require endur
ance and privatiou to accomplish
the results sought. Withal it is a
distinguished body of men and
their influence for good is limit
less. To have such a body of rep
resentative citizens in • our midst
Tupelo holds as au especial honor.
Since it was announced that the
invitation to meet here had been
accepted the entire' people have
looked forward to the time with
many pleasant anticipations. Our
hearts and homes are open to them
and the best we have is theirs.
They are thrice welcome, and we
trust that when each returns to
his home for the next ^year he may
carry with him a pleasant recollec
tiou of his short stay with the peo
ple of Tupelo, i
