"If yob: don't' like that." ho continued with
smile, ns.lto looked upon tho serious
faces of tho .listeners, "I can't help It. hut
lt'8 the policy,"
Tha Bishop's hit at "wlre-pulllnB" to ob
tain appointments was embodied In these
words: "I like Individual advice ami sur
Kestlon, but I do not like apparent propa
ganda 6r camnalBnlnc I will say that
this campaign has not been carried on by
a minister or pastor, but my laymen."
Tho, conference delegates Inst night took
up tho .question of foreign missions. Tho
principal address wns made by the Itev.
Dr. Bertram, M. Tipple, of Home, Italy,
In which ho outlined plans of "self-denial
week,? which' has been set for Passion
week, April 18 to 23. Ho said that sltico
his return to America ho had been Im
pressed with tho activity nf the laymen In
tho foreign mission enterprise, contrasting
tho Italy of former days with tho Italy
of todkyj a tjcw Italy, an awakened and
enlightened Italy. Ho explained that a
lack of vision had been responsible for
Italy of the past, hut that the advent of re
ligion bUsed on something other than his
tory ha'd brought about tho changes.
Before the. Home Missionary Society,
Mrs. Leonard Woodruff, of Allendale, N.
J., .national corespondlng secretary, de
clared1 tfiat arormonlsm wns creeping Into
overy Motion of the country and Into the
churches. Srfo said ono of every IIS of
tho population, Is a confessed Mormon.
They are gettfrig Into our Methodist choirs
and Into our Methodist colleges, sho said.
PrcSentlng his annual report to the
conference today, tho Itev 12. U Hoffecker,
Bupcrlhtcndnt'ot tho Wilmington district,
predicted thaf the city would become a
great industrial, commercial and financial
centre) with a largo population. Tho
Greater "Wilmington, he said, probably
will Include -territory from below Xew
Castle across to Nowport, Morshalton
and Rockland, and all of Urnndywlno
Hundred to tho, Pennsylvania line He ad
vised tho Methodist Church, therefore, to
plan comprehensively and wisely so as to
command stragetlc positions as tho popu
lation rows, Innd thus maintain Its in
fluence upon th,e growing population.
Tho Rov. Robert Watt, superintendent
of the, East on district, .stated In his annual
report-that nearly $400,000 was raised In
that district during tho last llvu years.
Tho falua ofnchurch property Increased
$52,000, Now, churches had been built
nt Tinman. 'Royal Oak. Sherwood and

and ministerial support $5000. -On debts
more tHan $I8',000 was paid.
Th4 Rev. Frank 12. Carpenter, the Rev.
Vaughn1 S. Collins and Arley B. Magce
and JV,B. Foyi laymen, were this morn
ing" ejiscted roftnngers of the Conferenco
Education Society.
The, Jtev. Wlbur E. Corkran urged mln-lstersisfj-om
Caroline. Kent, Queen Anno

Maryland Legislature
The ipov. Itobert Watt, proposed for
editor1 pf the Now York Christian Advo
cate, Will be strpngly supported In tho Gen
eral CJJnfercnce for that position by the
northeast. Doctor Watt Is also being urged
to stand for corresponding secretary of
the Bd$ird of Conference Claimants, with
headquarters, in Chicago, to succeed the
Rov. Joseph 11. Hingeley, D. D . who has
been proposed for the episcopacy. It Is
aald Poctor BIckley, of the Philadelphia
Conference, la likely to succeed Doctor
Blake, as corresponding secretary of the
Board of Sunday Schools.
It Was learned today that Bishop Berry
an,a hlaicablnet already have made a ten
tative list ofipastoral appointments.
Commentlng-on Doctor Hoffecker's re
port. Bishop Berry remarked :
"1 llltb its optimistic tone; big business.
big activity, great conquests. I like a
Bentleman, not a boor Doctor Hoffecker
knows how tb tjchave llko a gentleman, a
Christian gentleman. Ho is an Ideal
Christian gentleman."
The "blBhop'.then presented Doctor Hof
fecker wlth $100 In gold as a token of
appreciation and esteem on behalf of the
ministry of Wilmington.
Doctor Hoffecker was overcome. "I
thank you" was all he could say.
BISHOP ItEBUKESj DELEGATE.
A public rebuke administered by Bishop
Berry to the Rev. George A. Cooke, pastor
of Wesley M. E. Church, was the feature
of today's session of the Conference. Tho
rebuke, yas brought about by the Rev. Mr.
Cooker Interrupting the Rev George P.
Ufalna, representing a New York book con
cern, while the fatter was speaking.
Recently, In an open letter. Dr. Cooke
criticised a book which had been published
by Dr. Mains; and challenged htm to a de
bate on the subject Dr. Mains Ignored
both Ufa criticism and the challenge.
When the hour for presentation of me
morials was reached. Dr. Mains vas intro
duced and asked to address the Confer
ence. Jle had spoken about ten minutes
when .suddenly Dr. Cooke interrupted him
by saying:
"Without wishing to be discourteous to
Br. Mates, I tatfl tho attention of the Con
ferenqe.to the' Special order."
Before Dri Mains could reply, Bishop
Barry came back at Dr. Cooke in crisp
tones:
"If you wanf to be courteous you will
take xour seat, If you want to be a bore.
Interest tha speaker, who Is your guest."
