Shall Have Square Deal.
A fine report wns inado by Dr. J. D.
Hammond, secretary of the General
Educational Board. Dr. Hammond Is
one Of the most prominent figures In
Southern Methodism, and his depart
ment Is watched by Methodists with
absorbing Interest. His address was
heard attentively.
Just before noon the bishop an
nounced that he would not allow any
one to come to him privately and dls-
cues the characters of fellow minis
ters. "I am going to tee that every
man here gets a square deal,” he said.
The afternoon seselon was devoted
to examinations of the superannuated
ministers. As each of tnelr names
were called those of the old preachers
who were, present arose to give an
account of themselves to the confer
ence. It was a scene of genuine pathos,
mixed at times with humor, as these
venerable soldiers of the cross, placed
upon the pension roll and retired list
by force of physical weakness and the
ravages of decaying years, arose one
by one and gave their experience* for
the past year. Rev. J. A. Reynolds, one
of the superannuates, created some
what of a sensation when he took oc
casion to criticise a certain minister
for attending a baseball game. He
warned the conference that some M'th-
odlsta were getting too ''sporty.” Clos
ing his talk Mr. Reynolds said, In
speaking of the scarcity of young min.
Isters, "If you can't get enough young
preachers, call on the old guard.”
Rev. R. F. Eakcs, financial secretary
of the Weeley Memorial Enterprises,
read a report of the institution he rep
resents, which created a great deal of
Interest.
This le the third year of Rev. Frank
Hakes' pastorate of the Wesley Memo
rial work.
The total amount of Investment In
the hospital end of the Institutional
work amounts to 151,000, to which ha*

year 1007 was 331,121.31. The receipts
of the hospital In total amounted to
121,151.66, leaving a balance In the
