Rome, Nov. 24,-(Speo:al.)-The
twohty-elgirtti annual section of the
nonJj Georgia conference Is at this
time about half through. And with
muny committees yet to report, l.ttle
tun be Bald of the work for the ensu
ing year planned by this body. How
ever,* reports of the eltaigy already
mudo evidence Inter citing dcrclop-
nianto along many lines of church
work and demonstrate the continued
marvelous growth for -Methodism both
generally and locally. •
Reports of the prodding elder* from
all the districts of this conference
show large numbers of conversions
and aooessionu to the church—the :n-
creuas being greuitor thun ever bafore.
The stringency of money matters has
Interfered with the .paying of the sa
cred deb?, due tlie gospel cause, Just
as In a greater measure It has pre
vented the meeting of secular obliga
tions. It is a 'tribute to the great wis
dom which founded the itinerant sys
tem, that Urn .prtUchera’ hearts are set
on like -ingathering of humlm souls,
rather than on the taking of shekels
of gold and of , silver—than, airing
given up the .thought of permanent
U.ib.nwioa and the ease and luxu.'y cf
a oomlnuous abld.ug place, they of all
the Sons of t/igbt tire most ready to
go without money In their scrip, and
with little more than their da'ly bread,
bwning .the good tidings of salvation
to tvhomaover w.ll hear.
So fair, .the session lias been largely
given up to inquiring Into the condi
tions of (he work in the various de-
pattomiMitB of the dumb. The cause
of itompotunoo has flourished, in that
increased sobriety and leas traiflo in
strong drink appertains in almost ev
ery district in the bounds of tho con
ference.
As general Items, tho board of church
estensfc^t reports having aided 1,21X1
dhurefaes in creating houses of worship
in various parte of the southern por
tion of ithe Union during the four years
ending last March. Through the Wo-
nun’s Fbtsonhge Aid Society there
Uave beea added in three years over
one thousUnd parsorngcB. In the north
Georgia conference atone there aro
forty-six auxiliary societies connected
with this department of woman’s
Work, having a membership of nearly
seven hundred.
Alt tho missionary celebration bold
last night it was ascertained that .tho
obUeottans by ithe Woman's Foreign
Jl'ssioMaty Society bad amounted to
over nine thousand dollars.
The eserolsra held in connection
with Stria oetobratlon were profoundly
intea’edtng and instructive. Bishop
HSaygood was the first to speak. Ho
said thjit ho thought It unnecessary to
say much, sSnco Dr. Hoss and Dr.
Lambert waufld speak, and his sister,
Miss Laura Haygood, had consented
to say a fenv words. "She always was
tho flower of the tribe—I will say it
right here,*’ said the bishop. He
paused, and a brother remarked:
‘‘Won’t anybody contradict you on
that, bishop?” which little sally pro
voked much laughter. Bishop Hay-
good proceeded to speak of the wonder
ful growth of Methodism. The world
knew no Church history such as ours
since I860. With less than 300,000
Members then; now there were In tho
Southern connection moro than a mil'
Von and a half of members. If tho
population of the United States had
Increased In like proportion, there
Wonfld he now one hundred and twen.
ty-flvo millions of people in her bor
ders. The biwhop said ho never heard
a mlssllonlairy sermon until 1800, and
that one he preached himself. They
held hurrah anniversaries along then,
bult up to twenty years ago no church
paper ever wrote an editorial on tho
subject of misefons. In this connec
tion he praised the Review of Missions,
WbMh, he said, ho would not ho
ashamed to place on the table along
With the best periodicals of the kind
published in Europe or America. In
bis opinion, It would have been tit?
dream of a fanatic a fow years ago
to have expected toe women of north
Georgia to raise nine thousand dollars
annually for the causa of missions.
Said ithe bitthop: "We are in rebellion
against our Ottrlst and King if we
don’t do Missionary work.” It Is the
law of history that the church of God
grows as it learns the troth of God.
Dr. Hoss, editor of the Nashville
Christian Advooate. was rresenlted to
the conierence. He OhnuCht the er»wt-
est task of the preacher was to state
over and over again the truitn* tne
people already know. Our gospel was
the gospel of the world, not the go»-
pel for any one society of men or race
of men. The classic text of Methodism
was "God *o loved the world that Ho
gave His only begotten Son. 'that who
soever believed in Him might ■ not
perleb, but have everlasting life."
Mias Laura Haygood followed Dr.
Hoss. The face of tMs glorious wopian
was a benediction even before she
uttered a word. With tho poise which
only perfect self-composure gives she
delivered In sllvcry-clcur sentences a
brief address whloh profoundly moved
every hearer. A thousand *hrong1ng
memories filled her heart as she re
called the missionary convention In
Shanghai. China, last autumn. There
were present ten foreign and ten no
tice mietlonarles. representing a par
ish of ten millions of people. With
powerful impress she emphasised the
need of more workers for China. God
was opening up China to 'the gospel,
through the reverses of war. She
wished she could help the voune
brethren who were arrclvine for ad
mission to the conference to feel the
wonderful opportunity God was offer
ing them to assist In setting no his
kingdom In China. Thev were com
manded .to go to the uttermost ends of
the earth, and preach the gospel. They
might lose their lives, certainly all
ministerial ambition would have to be
given up. “But be that loseth his life
shall find It again” M1 * Haygood
closed with an appeal for divine assist
ance in Impressing workers to com* to
China. “In God’s fame,” said she, I
say. come and help us!" The large as
semblage was moved by the thrilling
address, and when It closed many were
in tears.
Dr. Limberih tv.ie to close the nd.
dresses, of the occasion, but as he
arose to speak, be was moved to pray
er, aud beauKlfuUy did be ofter the pe
tition to the throne of grace.
The faithful missionary Dressnted as
a. salient feature la the Mexican mis
sion work the body of Methodist lit
erature, whloh has been translated-
Intro the SpunlsU language, -bn effective
contrast was drawn as to Japan. Thir
ty years ago in a war with Corea th--
ears and noses of thousands of soldiers
were cut oft and shipped in salt ta the
chief ill! 1.:ary man of tho emDlre as
a trophy of his skill In warfare. The
etrs mill :he a->—s were burled, and
a monolith bears this Inscription today,
“Mene auken,” which being interpreted
means the ear tomb. But a touch of
the gospel has driven out that bar
barous practice. In ithls war Chinese
soldiers arc treated by Japanese sur
geons and are bandaged with cloths
fresh from the dflinty hands of the
empress of Japan and her court ladles.
Dr. Lambretlt closed the dlsruselen Xi
an urgent appeal for assistance for
China. GEO. M. NAPIER.

BIDS FOR THE BONDS.
They Aggregated More Than Three
Time* the Amount of the Loan.
Washington, Nov. 24.—Under the
tcWeury department circular Issued
Nov. 13. Inviting proposals for 350,000,-
000 United States 5 per cent, bonds, on
a 3 per cent, basis, sealed proposals
were today opened In the secretary's
ofilee at the' treasury department at
12 o'clock noon In the presence of Sec
retary Carlisle, Assistant Secretary
Curtis and Chief Huutlngun of the
loans and currency division, half • a
dozen clerks, representatives of some
of the heavy bidders and a number of
newspaper men. The bonds bid for
ranged from 350 to 310.000 In denomina
tion, dated Feb. 1, 189', and by the
terms of the circular nee Jo be paid
for In gold In five equal installments,
or in one sum, at tpe option of the
bidder, so soon as be shall have been
notified that his bid has been accept
ed. Secretary Carlisle In hi* circular
stated that he "reserves the right to re-
Ject any or all bids.”
Over one hundred letters, some regls-
ered and others delivered by messen
gers, were received at the treasury
department 'this morning containing
bids for the bonds.
Among the Important bidders pres
ent were J. Pierrepont Morgan, Pliny
Fisk and A. Stetthauer of New York,
and R. W. Bacon at Boston, Mass.,
representing Kidder, Peabody & Co.
of that city. The actual opening of the
bids began at 12.43 -p. in., and con
cluded at 1.45 p. m. After the bids
had been opened Secretary Carlisle an
nounced that be was gratified at the
result. There were 297 bids filed, and
the total amount bid tor was 3154,,-
370,900. The allotment will probably be
made on Monday.
It 1s generally considered probable
that 'the Did of the United States Trust
Company of New York, representing
the Stewart syndicate for the 350,000,-
000 at 3117.077 per 3100, all or none, will
be aocepted ns the most advantageous
to the treasury. The prloes offered lor
the bonds ranged Irom 31.04 to 31.1716.
What are known as the foreign
banking houses of New York, who are
the heavy shippers of gold, were heavy
bidders for the loan. At the syndicate’*
bid of 117.077 the .rate o£ Interest real
ized will be 2.878 per cent. Only about
tea millions of the bids were at price*
above the syndicate’s figures. There
were no gold withdrawals announced
today from New York. At the close of
• s it .... tilnlorl V>q 1 a non
business the treasury’s stated balance
stood at 3100,000,000 ol Which 358,058,000
was in gold—a slight gain over yester
day's balance.
