.M. E. CONFERENCE NOTES.—The annu-
al sessions of the Central Pennsylvania
conference held at Shamokin the past
week were largely attended and excep-
tionally interesting. Of particular inter-
est to readers of the WATCHMAN is that
part of the report of district superintend-
ent S. B. Evans, of the Altoona district,
which refers to the church work in Cen-
tre county during the past year.
In his report Superintendent Evans
stated that Waddle church was re-roofed,
and the cost, $100, has been paid. A new
roof protects the parsonage, where a fine
hot water plant was installed, making
very comfortable this country home.
Rev. F. A. Lawson collected the money
for these improvements, and the bills,
amounting to $496, are all paid and $25
is in the treasury. On Pleasant Gap
charge the Weaver church was repaired.
The bills, amounting to $200, are paid.
H. K. Ash and C. C. Shuey preached on
reopening day, and gave valuable service
in raising the money needed. The par-
sonage on this charge was painted anid
the bills are paid. Pennsvalley charge
repaired, the walk and steps at Spring
Mills church, put a furnace in the church
at Millheim, and made necessary repairs
to the parsonage. The total cost was
$131 and has been paid.
The contributions for benevolences
were as follows: Foreign missions, $6,-
746; home missions, and church exten-
sion, $6,000; conference home missions,
$583; annuity, $659; education, $1,000;
Goucher college, $1,100; Sunday schools,
$666; Freedmen aid, $804; Bible socie-
ty, $200; temperance, $124; general con-
ference expense, . $229; Methodist hos-
pital, $336.
ventional or, at least, common-place, and
invariably much allowance is made for
our tributes of sorrow and sympathy.
But an unusual life has just gone out
from among us. For seventy-eight years
Clara Valentine has lived in Bellefonte
and her life has touched the lives of sev-
eral generations.
modest, she has been an active influence
i for all that is sweet and holy. God made
her soul naturally a timid, shrinking one, i
but in the service of her Saviour she al-
ways cast from her the trammels of fear,
and because of her strong love for her
fellow-man never shrank from contact
with suffering, with sorrow, or the de-
graded. Modest as the violet she neces-
sarily exhaled the exquisite perfume of
sacrifice and love. To do good she visit-
ed the sick, brought her prayers and
gifts to the prison, her sympathy to the
sorrowing, and the message of our Sa-
viour to every sinful heart to which she
could gain access. Underneath all her
gentleness there was an unyielding will
in every contest or struggle for the Mas-
ter's cause. Repeated backslidings by
the one for whom she was striving never
discouraged her; others might frequent-
ly lose all hope, abandon the man or
woman as hopeless, but so perfect was
her faith in the power of her Saviour
that she has won many souls, reclaimed
many fallen men, after every other one
had finally abandoned them.
Clara Valentine had sympathy for
every good work. She was ardent
in the cause of temperance and in
the reclamation of fallen women, equal-
ly so for the protection of childhood, but
above all other work it became manifest
that her heart was supremely interested
in the salvation of men and women
through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Her later years were clouded with much
physical suffering—a suffering that had
its frequent climaxes in intense agony,
but her Gethsemane showed only pa-
tience, love and an almost unearthly hap-

condition compelled her to withdraw from

The total conversions reported for the
Altoona district were 4,850, and of this
number Centre county churches report-
ed as follows: Bellefonte 180; Osceola
Mills, 159; Port Matilda, 104; Pleasant
Gap, 91; Snow Shoe, 82; Halfmoon, 61;
Karthaus, 52, and Pennsvalley, 52. Prac-
tically all the above either were admit-
ted to full membership or joined the
church as probationers.
On the invitation of Rev. W. P. Shrin-
_ er the conference voted to meet in the
Eighth Avenue Methodist church, Al-
loona, in 1916. The Lewistown church
extended an invitation to conference to
meet there in 1917.
The final session of conference was
held on Tuesday morning when Bishop
William Burt read the | appointments.
There were many surprises for the three
hundred or more ministers as a large
number of changes were made. Belle-
fonte was favored with the return of Dr.
Ezra H. Yocum; Rev. D. J. Frum was
moved from Pleasant Gap to Allegheny
(supply); Rev. George M. Glenn from
Philipsburg to the First church, Tyrone;
Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs was made
superintendent of the Williamsport dis-
trict, while Rev. Morris E. Swartz was
returned to the First church of York.

trict are as follows:

more and more within the family circle.
Here her whole life work seems almost
superhuman. None within that family
circle can recall in her the usual frailties
and weaknesses of our common human |
nature. The writer does not claim that
she reached perfection on earth, but he
does speak the voice of her family,
friends and relatives in testifying that
her entire life was an exquisite sermon,
expressing visibly and in the flesh the
beauties of the doctrines of our Saviour,
and a demonstration far beyond logic or
reason of the actualities of the Christian
religion. It was an inestimable privi-
lege to come in contact with that life,
and to meet and to converse with a saint
whose life radiated the meekness, the
gentleness, the faith and the love of the
Sermon on the Mount.

in the active living or in the beatified
dying has done more to convince men
and women of the conquering power of
faith over weakness and of a demonstra-
tion that it is still possible for the sons
and daughters of men to lead a life
emptied of self and glowing only in love
for God and their fellow-men.
The end was beautiful and fitting—as
her life was a benediction so her death
impressed her mortal friends only as a
translation.
