became effective June 11th.
District Coaference and Annoncements
The preachers and delegates:
members of the Guymon District
Conference; West Oklahoma An-
nual Conference met in Texhoma
June 1. at 9 a. m. There was
preaching the evening before by
Bro. Baird, after which the sacra-
ment of the Lord's supper was
taken. The conference was opened
with devotional services, after
which the roll was called and or-
ganization entered into. The sec-
retary was elected and the work of
the conference was done by com-
mittees.
The things receiving the most
attention were the spiritual state
of the church, which was first; mis-
sions looking to supplying all the
people with the gjspel in this
new country with its many inter-
esting problems ami at the same
time conserving the labors of the
preachers Other things were con
sidered by their respective com-
mittees, some of w.iicli were com-
prehended in the committee on
spiritual state of the church, as
temperence leagues; books and
period icles: the work of the Auier
ican Bible Society, etc.
Everything was considered with
an earnest interest in the salvation
of souls. There was no attempt to
get away from the real needs and
the work to be done. The plans
and suggestions were in the light
of the conditions existing as they
are known—and nobody knows or
feels the responsibility like a
Methodist preacher. Not one word
was uttered that could be inter-
preted as a complaint, but, rather a
purpose to do tin- very best work
possible.
Besides considering affiairs of
the church as tiny come in the
bussnesB sessions the preach* ts and
delegates were helped by coining
iu coutact with each other and by
hearing others preach and enter-
ing into triumphs of their faith.
There was much gained in this
way and we were glad we were
I there; it gives us greater determin-
j ation to work for our master in our
I respective charges.
This is the season we have
chosen for Children's Day, Last
Sunday we had this service at Ber-
trand with a good attendance and
some real good work done. There
was truth impressed that will re-
| suit in noble life in after years.
Nothing can thrill us more than
the greatness of the work with the
young life of our country.
Next Sunday evening. June 18,
at 8 o'clock we will have Children's
Day service at Sampsel.
Sunday evening, June 25, we
will have the children's program
at Boise City
annual school meeting, we the

ment and certify to its correctness,
