CLOSES ITS SESSIONS
The Indian Mission Confer
ence Adjourned. "
The clotting scenes of the an-
nual conference of the Melhodint
church smith in the hound of In-
dian Territory and Oklahoma are
drawing rapidly to a close and the
evening trains will carry most of
the visitors to their hoiueR. The
exodus begun this morning but
many of the preachers remained to
hear the reading of the appoint-
ments. Yesterday was u memorable day
in Vinita. All the pulpits of the
city were occupied by visiting di-
vines and notwithstanding the
heavy rain all the churches were
crowded to the doors
The conference met promptly at
8:30 and the bishop led the body
briskly into the business of the
day. The attendance was very
good this being the day in which
the committees were expected to
report. After some minute busi
ness the reports of the committees
were taken up. The last day is
always the battle ground of the
conference and today has been no
exception.
The conference has raised this
year for foreign missions $232723
There are 478 societies. 235 houses
of worship. The conference is
composed of 10 districts. There
are 109 pastors parsonages and 8
presiding elders- parsonages. Last
year there were 20166 members
reported 699 infants baptized and
1718 aduh baptisms. There are
234 sabbath schools 1435 teachers
and 16663 scholars.
CONFERENCE NOTES.
Rev E. A. Ware of Thacker-
ville Ind. Ter. received a tele-
gram last night stating that his
wife was dangerously sick. He
left on the flyer for her bedside.
A good deal has been eaid about
evolution during the conference
but the conclusion seems to be
about general that man is not a
descendant of the monkey. This
ought to be a source of great relief
to the monkey in view of what the
politicians are saying about each
other in the campaign.-
Dr. Paliuore electrified his aud-
ience at the Presbyterian church
Sunday morning with his great
lecture on China or the yellow
peril. The doctor is an ardent ex-
pansionist though a consistent
and logical one.
As the early Methodists were
great singers bo are the latter
Methodists. Singing comes as
easy and natural as weeping in
affliction and sorrow. Many have
been attracted to them on account
of their singing lusty congrega-
tional singing. The singing of the
Methodists is little less effective
than their prayers and preaching.
Thousands have been awakened
and converted by the familiar old
songs sung with so much power
and spirituality.
During the debates of the Meth-
odist general conference in Chica-
go Dr. J. M. Buckley declared:
"If there is any man here who can
produce a Methodist revival with-
out affimtng the depravity of man
the need of spiritual regeneration
a strictly vicarious atonsment
whether we take cm theory or tie
ctbe: the probationary character
tf l.ff. ft d J tl'.e doctrine of the ir
reversible rewards and punish
nient of the future judgment he
can do whai has never been done
in the hiHtory of Christianity. "
Bishop Key "Well boys you
have bv thfine subntitutes and
amendments licked your motion
into shape and now we will pro
ceed to take a vote."
The motion to kill the Indian-
Oklahoma Methodist elicted the
warmest debate of the conference.
One brother said the paper was
already dead and only needed
burial. It was then executed and
buried.
Dr. W. B. Palmore was greatly
impressed with the How of the
artesian wells but is strongly of
the opinion that the city ought -to
purchase a new tin cup for the use
of visitors. He said the water
was magnificent but the visitors
were unable to get any of it with
out a cup.
Dr. A. J. Wolverton of Ardmore
is an active member of the Indian
mission conference and has been
in this city during its sessions.
Rev. J. J. Lovett today tendered
his resignation of the editorship
of the India-Oklahoma Methodist
the organ of the Indian mission
conference and published at Ard-
more. Mr. Lovett stated that he
had been paying $35 a week ex-
penses and his receipts were about
$8. ' . - '. '. ;
The superannuated list includes
J. H. Walker J. W. Cobb John
McElhanon F. M. Moore and the
supernumeraries are W A Duncan
and W M Buck.
The Spaulding Collegiate insti-
tute had a good opening and has
enrolled to date 146 students. . We
have fifty students in the special
departments. Our enrollment last
year was 170. The school is more
nearly on a self-supporting basis
than it has been in some years
Our new building is going up rap-
idly; we hope Jo be in it by Janu-
ary first. This building contains
eighty -eight rooms and will com-
fortably accommodate 150 stu-
dents. It is heated with furnaces
and lighted with electricity; has
elegant bath and toilet rooms; the
furniture throughout is new. We
have a campus of eleven acres.
Eight carefully selected teachers
each one a specialist in his or her
department compose the faculty.
The school has entered an era of
prosperity full of hope and prom-
ise and we trust under the guid-
ance of the Holy Spirit to make it
a mighty agency in the building of
character and the salvation of
those committed to our care.
