Ilethodlst Episcopal ministers of oming Conference in the second Idon of their annual meeting in st M. E. church, Wllkes-Barro, lirsday morning went on record I'avoring the methoa or evangelism (sued by Rev. William A. Sunday. Iinmcate its auuuae lowara nis re t campaign in Wyoming Valley, as it was stated, to notify the Id at large that It approves of the Id "Billy" Sunday in everything tood for In his unique oia-timo igellsm, the conference passed in Iform of a resolution sent as a day fjr to the evangelist at his home. I on a Lake, ma., the following ex- slon of sentiment: rhe Wyoming Annual Conference ftethodist Episcopal ministers now tession in First M. E. church. tces-Barre, by formal vote convey ou, their recognition of and lltude for the great work ac- Ipllshed in this city and valley for kingdom of God. under the leaaer- of yourself and with the help of co-workers, we thank God i every remembrance of you and that you may bo long spared to Eecute and for the salvation of our Iw men. Signed) "Joseph F. Berry, "Presiding Bishop." jihop Berry presided at tho morn- tsesslon and hurried the business tigh in such a manner as to im- Ii visitors with tho ease with h ministers transact their an- affairs. The principal report Iread by Dr. H. C. . McDermott, rintendont of the Wllkes-Barro let. While a lengthy statement nevertheless Intensely interest ed shows affairs in local Moth- churches to be in excellent jj. Church memberships have increasing he stated and flnan- aatters are being well taken of. Iports of two other districts in inference were also read by Rev. I). L. Severson of the Oneonta let and Roy. Dr. L. C. Murdock lo Scranton district, which liko- wise indicate a healthy growth In tho church and an excellent financial standing. Minister Requests Wlthdrnwnl. Superintendent Murdock of the Scranton district reported that a 'min ister of his district, Rev. E. G. N. Holmes, wished to withdraw from' tho conference to affiliate with the Protestant Episcopal church. Per mission was granted to make the change, but when Rev. Mr. Holmes asked that his parchments be return ed him there was a lengthy debate in which the chief point of argument was one of sentiment. Conference finally decided to return the parch ments in order that the minister may keep them in remembrance of his work as a Methodist minister. Veteran Minister Retired. A motion was made by Rev. Dr. Murdock and unanimously carried that Rev. J. C. Laycock of Scranton an aged minister, be placed on the honor roll and be granted permission to retire. The aged worker in the cause of Christ arose to express his thanks and with fervent voice he thanked his fellow workers for tyieir kindness and declared that he would still bo willing to work when called upon. Rev. Mr. Laycock is one of the oldest ministers in the Confer ence in point of service. Bishop Comments Sunday. "First, there should be on the part of church people a pronounced dis play of cordiality and an exhibition of genuine Christian democracy. Then the finding of something for each convert to do in church worki Idleness is certain to produce, among thousands who have been aroused, a return to Indifference. "Every Christian worker in tho community is especially obligated to get busy and lend a helping hand to his minister to see that, now the evangelist is gone, the good he is credited with accomplishing will not lapse. I cannot state this point too emphatically and I wish ministers and laymen alike to remember it. "I have been in communities where the aftermath of revivals has been disastrous. Some church people have sat back, folded their hands, and. in congratulating themselves on having accomplished so much have failed to maintain even a moderate degree of progressiveness. Ministers and church people of Wyoming Valley are pow. under greater obligations than ever before. We are living In an era of conservation conservation of nat ural resources, of social resources, and a duty of this community will be a 'conservation of the results, of the Sunday revival '."I have observed in several years that a larger proportion of converts of Rev,. Billy Sunday stand by their renewed obligations than do many others. His work Is not of the sup erficial kind. It is genuine, due per haps to the fact that he preaches the truth, unvarnished and not smooth ed over to please any particular class. "His organization of personal workers' leagues Is one of the best features of his system. Great results sometime follows with these organi zations, even greater in places than the campaign itself. I earnestly trust such will be the case in the splendid organizations he has effect ed here." "Sanctlflcation" was tho theme on which Rev. Dr. Munhall of Philadel phia, thrilled Wyoming Conference in the devotional service Saturday morning. He reviewed his talk of Friday, stirring all with his plea for combined evangelism to accomplish which there must be a complete sanctlflcation of those who want to inspire and convert others to Christ. He said no sanctified man or woman would indulge in dancing or card playing. There must bo a spirit of forgiveness lri the sanctified person. There must Be purity of speech, no telling of dirty stories, no polluting of the tongue with vile words. There must be cleanliness of body, and there could be no one of this with tho user of tobacco a filthy habit, which he said ho discontinued forty years ago, and he trusted if there were any ministers who had the hab it, and ho heard thore were some, they should get in lino with him in cleansing their mouths of this filthy disease. No .man has any right to have any habit that will Interfere with his leading souls to Christ. The churches should bo open to holiness in the doing of good works; get sanc tified, know what to do and do it, and then you won't have to coax peo ple to come to church or prayer meetings. Resolutions were adopted com mending President Woodrow Wilson from eliminating from the inaugura tion festivities tho Inaugural ball, and the position of his cabinet offi cers in relation to wiping the uso of liquors In all social functions so far as they were concerned; for stopping all unnecessary work in the depart ments on the Lord's day; commend ing congress for passing the Webb bill prohibiting the transportation of liquors into dry states, and giving hearty thanks and commendation to the Pennsylvania state legislature for Its action in providing for the reading of the bible In the public schools of the state. Roy. Dr. L. C. Floyd, of Bingham ton; Rev. Dr. T. G. Dickinson, of West Plttston, and Roy. Dr. Francis A. King, formerly of Taylor, brought conference greetings to tho laymen, each making spirited addresses in which the laymen were upheld as tho pillars of tho church who had not only their making, but also tho mak ing of tho preachers, for no man was received on trial except on tho recommendations of tho quarterly conference of tho churches. Dr. Floyd also got on the edge of tho suffrage question, saying when our wives and daughters want suffrage he was in favor of letting them have it, but he took no stock In the worn an who was declaring her rights on the platform, yet would rather carry a pug dog in her arms than a baby. He likened the laymen's movement to war, with the laymen to tho front of the firing line; complimented the laymen on the movement to raise a $200,000 endowment fund for Wyoming seminary; urged co-operation in every movement for the church; exhorted all to be workers with God, and urged the consecra tion of young men to church work. Bishop Berry also addressed tho laymen, with whom he sincerly sym pathized, for he himself had been a layman. He realized all the difiV culties they had to overcome, he said, but added that where there was a will and the love of God tho means would be found. Just before the mofrnlng sermon closed, Rev. Dr. Hensey, of Blng hamton district, spoke on "The Problem of the Rural Church," handling tho matter thoroughly and arousing tho laymen to a sense of meeting the responsibility that is up on them.

Indications of Other Minerals This is Very Good News. 'Excitement prevails in southern Wayne county over the discovery of a four foot vein of 80 copper. The Strike was made last week and Is located on property owned by the Paupack Power Company. This startling news was received In Honesdale to-day and comes from an authentic source. Prospectors have been at work in the vicinity for nearly three months and when they made the announcement last week the residences of that part of Wayne county clapped their hands with joy. This is exceedingly good news. A smelter has been sent for to test the ore, which is claimed to be al most pure. Indications are good for other minerals in the place. At one time silver, in small quantities, were dis covered near where the copper ore is said to have been found. The cop per was In a quarry. SUNDAY AFTERMATH.

"Sure we want a ball team, at least one good enough to whip Car bondale, and I'm willing to give a dollar or two to get It going," said a "fan" a couple of days ago, and The Citizen feels sure that there are many more who feel the same way about It. Boys get busy. We have tho ma terial for a team, and a good one, too. We understand that there Is a little money in the treasury, and with what could be collected on a subscription paper, should give the team a good start. Carbondale has organized a city league of six teams, and seem to have aroused quite some enthusiasm over the mountain. Haw ley, too, has been talking base ball for quite a while and will soon be asking for a chance to wallop Hones dale, and we certainly want to give both these towns a chance to see how Honesdale plays the gamo; for al though both Carbondale and Hawley havo had several lessons, they bob up again each year looking for an other. How about N. B. Spencer for manager? The Philadelphia North American has the following to say of Eddie Murphy of White Mills, who is mak ing good with the famous Philadel phia Athletics: "Not since the days when "Topsoy" Hartsell was a star, have the Athletics had a better man to lead off, than Eddie Murphy. He is as fast as a soft nosed bullet get ting down to first and is a good wait er. Ho can also punch the ball, be ing one of the most versatile hitters on the team. Thursday (against the World Champs of Boston) he beat out two infield taps, drew a pass and smashed the ball for a two bagger." 'Eddie has only been In fast com pany a few months, having joined the Athletics in August last year from Baltimore. The first prison sentence inflicted for operating a base ball pool was passed on Thomas Fleming of Phila delphia, last week. Ho was sen tenced to three months after confess ing to operating a pool last season. One of tho pools was In operation In Honesdale the first part of last season, also during the World's ser ies. .
