He wag a man of considerable church influence and served in many of the more important charges in the con ference up to a short time before his death. His wife was said to be a north ern woman.

At the afternoon session of the minis ters' conference yesterday. the first speaker was the Rev. George N. Cowan, of Greenwood. His topic was “The Preacher's Study: What tt Should Be-'* The speaker said the preacher should have a special place for study, and a time should be set aside each day for study. As to material equipment, thfr should be a comfortable room, conven iently located, well arranged and stocke with properly selected books. The a' mosphere of the preacher's study shout be vibrant with a holy ambition, and the preacher should study not only foi his next Sunday's sermon, but also to add to the fund of hir general knowledge He should seek In every way the largest possible breadth of scholarly culture. The pastor and Mis Perils" was dis eased by John F. Vines of Anderson, and U. T. Marsh of Rock Hill. Mr. Vines said one peril was a starved bddy. brought about by overwork In pastoral visiting, and lack of care for the physi. cal life. Another peril is that of an empty head—there is no place in Chrlst'3 church for an Ignorant preacher. Th. peril of mirownoss—getting Into a rut, giving disproportionate attention to cer tain departments of the church's life The peril of spiritual life, when a preach er Is too busy to pray and develop soul life.
