REPORT OF THE
WYOMING DISTRICT
PRESENTED AT YESTEIIDAY'S
SESSION OP CONFERENCE.
It Was Ficpnicd ami Rend by the
Presiding Elder, Rev. Austin Grif
fin, D. D. Portions of Wyoming
and Lackawanna Valleys Aio as
Really Missionary Ground as Any
Tortlon of Tlds Country Presen
tation to Bishop Newman at the
Homo of Dr. Hard.
Tho business of the Wyoming con
ference which Is in session tit Kingston
was nbout a day behind ycsteiday
morning, owing to Illshop Newman's
feeble condition, ns then- has been no
lushing In the older of uffnlrs. It
a HHt amount of work tannut be
crowded Into this morning's session
tho conference cannot adjourn on
Monday. Illshop Joyce having taken
tho chair j estcrday, their- vns a
change In procedure and few delays
ensued.
Bishop Joyce was elected in 1SSS nt
the general conference In New York,
One of tho strongest agencies In force
which placed him in the position he
now occupies was set in motlqn by
Rev. Dr. C. M. Glllln, of Elm Pnilc
church, who was at that time in Cin
cinnati In a church which had a pow
erful Influence.
Illshop Joyce's greatest success has
been In his evangelistic powers. He
speaks with fervor of old time Metho
dism and his words How like a toirent.
He Is a man of distinguished appear
ance, his face the counterpart of the
strong uortralts of the giants In
the parly days of tho chinch,
smooth shaven and with a pouei
ful mouth. The most unobservant
would nt once be stricken with tho
a surpassing gentleness evident in this
much loved member of the episcopacy.
His extemporaneous nddtess to
the ministers at the close of the morn
ing session was a genuine surprise.
He made a statement which few of tins
great dignitaries of the church have
ever been heard to utter when he said
with intense feeling.
THEY ARE ALL PREACHERS.
"Preachers when they become pre
siding elders and bishops hae not
ceased to bo preachers. They sim
ply hold olllce, nnd ns men may help
their bi others, for we uie all one gieat
brotherhood that now git dies tho
globe. I want you preachers to como
to me nbout anj thing you please. Tell
me your troubles, tell me nbout jour
families, jour churches, your hopes
and j-our fears. Tell me of the bur
dens that weigh you down and take
my word for It this beuit and this
hand are j-ours in any way they carr
help ou."
The deep earnestness and oen ten
derness with which he said thee
woids brought tears to the ejes of
many a man who sat In tho pew-, as
he thought of the hard struggle of
all the j cars, of the bleak, forlorn
outlook for the jears to come when
past his powers of labor he would be
left by the way to exist us best he
might, nnd, perhaps, like the little
group of superannuates, await with
gratitude the meagre pittance doled
out from tho general fund to keep
soul and bodj- together.
Rev. Thomas Harroun conducted the
devotional exercises of tho morning.
Illshop Joyce presided oer the busi
ness session After the reading of
tho minutes by Secretary J. II. Sweet,
Rev. Dr. Austin Gililln. presiding elder
of the Wyoming district, lead his re
port, which was heard with Interest.
It began with n touching refeicnee to
Dr. Eckman, who permed the last re
port, but has since passed nvvnj. In
part he said:
THE DISTRICT REPORT.
It has not beur nn easy task to kulher
up tho Mm ads bo ludtly and suddenly
broken and take up the unflnl&lud work
of mv brother. I deslio here to record
my heart's high appreciation of tho kind.
ly reception I have received at tho Mauds
of both tho pastors and the churches of
the district. Thtv could not h.no done
more in word or deed than they havo
done to relievo mo of all embarrassment
und absuro me of their conlldenco and af
fection. Our district ranks with tho strong dis
tricts of Methodism and Is regarded as
the great district of our conterence. It
reports for tho past year fifty charges,
whllo Oneonta bus thirty-two, Chenango
thirty-one, lloncsdalc and Ovvego thirtj
three respectively and lltnghamton thirty
six. Its area Is about tvventv-lour miles
by twenty. It embraces tho titles of
Scranton and Wllkes-B.irre with all tho
populous towns of tho Wjomlng ullev.
It embraces two churches thut takes rami
among the great churches of our denomi
nation, Elm Park, Scranton. and First
church, Wilkes-IJarre. It also contains
a number of churches bcsldo which In
wealth, boclal Influence nnd numbers
compare well with tho prominent
churches of Methodism.
But whllo we make mention of these
strong churches we hnvo some eiv vviuk
churches, Indeed tha weakest lu on s
in this conference. Wo have nine .'nun s
or pastoral charges wheie th mUr
does not exceed and flic pay thetr
pastois less than tint sum. Were It not
that theso strong churches bear tho In
firmities of the weak, thebe btnull charges
could not pay even iho binall satarv re.
celved bj- thiir pastors
The fact Is, portions of the Wjomlng
and Lackawanna vallcjs are Just as
reallv mlssionarv ground ns any portion
of this count! i Mug between the oceans
W have a teeming population of tens of
thousands of scml-bu harm's ungos.pellcd
foreigners, among us with all tho ignor.
nnee, superstition and vices of tho sub
merged millions of the old world. Theso
multitudes are surging thiomjli our val
ley. They make the nights hideous with
Ihelr drunken orgies Thej llniiut Mulr
vices In the facei of our chlldien nnd
poison tho very ntmospheie with their
profnnlty and vulgarltj'.
A PRESSING DEMAND.
These pcoplo should be ubJcetH fur
mUxlonaij effort. I do not know wheie
you can Und a more pressing demand
or God-given opportunity. Our common
wealth hits filled her pilsous and alms
houses, shot a number nnd hung n few.
And wo tho people ulve the Italians,
Poles and Huns rum according to law.
Then for their crimes wo give them tho
bullet and tho gibbet.
For tho sake of tho cross and the Cruci

I bono to see a half dozen men who
can speak tho huuuugo and carry the
gospel ot these perishing strangeis at our
doors under tho commission and au
