T. L. Naugle, Rock Hill, and W.
D. Mountcastle, Piano, made
shoittaHo- along tho same lino
Rev. J. W. Blackburn, of Elue
Ridge, w-ggcsted that the League

means fire the hearts of the young

missionary lines—if you want your
children to give, set tho example.

The sermon at 11 o'clock by
Rev. C. O. Jones from the text,
"Pilate said unto them, what shall
I do then with Jesus, who if' call-
ed Christ? Then all said unto
him, let him be crucified." Matt.
27f22. As Pilate made deposi-
tion of Christ, so must we; lie is
our personal savier, and in the
language of the tent, "what shall
I do with Christ."
Exalt Christ by personal sacri-
fices, and by dedicating to him
our feet that He may walk through
us; our hands that Ho may work
through us; our eyes that He may
look through us; our brain that
He may think through us? our
heart that Ho may feel, bless and
enlighten the world through us.
CONFERENCE OVER

Conference opened at 2:30 Thurs-
day, devotional' services being
conducted by D. W. Leigh. Com-
mittee on resolutions on death of
Carrie Lewis, Piano, reported.
Resolutions ordered spread on the
minutes, and copies furnished the
local papers and sent to family.
Tho literary department was
then taken up.
"The importance of reading
good books" was ably presented
by Dr. McLean. Good books,
pure literature are in harmony
with God. Bead carefully,
thoughtfully and digest what is
read.
Paper by Miss Bessie Nelson on
"How can wo best use the literary
department to the glory of God."
Open discussion—Why aro our
young people so ignorant in regard
to tho doctrines and polity of the
Methodist church, led by Rev. W.
1). Mountcastlo and followed by
Rev. D. J. Martin and J. N. Hun-
ter. The reason assigned is main-
ly because to understand tho real
doctrines requires some effort,
while on the other hand to acquire
a knowledge of matteis common
isnotffort; Ihe remedy is for
pastors to preach more on these

subjects and for teachers to teach
them.
Report of committee on resolu-
tions and ono on temperance.
The following resolutions were j
offered and adopted:
One instructing the roprescnta-!
live to the North Texas League :
Conference, which convenes at
Bonham 17,18 and IB inst., tt) vote
for the district and local leagues
to convene before the state league.
One extending thanks to little
Mii-s Jennie Lewis, a Junior
Leaguer of McKinney for her
many kindnesses, and one extend
iog thanks of delegates to the
good people of MeKitmoy for
their hospitality during the con-
ference, and ono tendering thanks
to tho secretory, Miss Pearl Nel-
son, and her assistant, Miss Liz-
zie Burton, for their untiring ef-
forts in recording the minutes of
the conference.
The committee on constitution
and by-Iasvs also reported and af-
iter some discussion by several
•pastors present they were adopted
by section, after which a good col-
lection * as taken «^p to defray ex-
penses and to reimburse tho sec-
retary for expenditures in procur-
ing stationery an4 postage neces-
sary in-conducting'tho correspond-
ence. Tho treasurer then made
her report which >was received.
Faruiorsvillo and Nevada were
nominated for place of holding
the next conference and after a
little ploasantry on tho part of
Revs. Morris and Roberts nop re-
senting both places, tho former
was unanimously chosen,
Tho night session was Changed
from tho regwlar program to a
sermon. Rev. T. H. Morris of
Farmersville took for hss text
Luke 14. 28-2J*. Subject: "Preem-
inent success in tower building."
Men construct many towers, and
one is accumulating wealth, oth-
ers in statecraft, others m great
industrial enterprises; in profes-
sions try to o celtheir fellowmen.
Superior in character, any of
j these may be compared to a tower.
There must be first an intention
to build. No>man can become a
great man, a great doctor, good
lawyer, a great statesman, with-
out first starting out to reach the
top of their profession, Great
arc the possibilities of life. A
man can accomplish almost any-
thing he wants to. The vaind can
expand until it bccomos almost
infinite. There is no success
without a great deal of work and
sacrifice. There is no reward
without price. Numerous illus-
trations were citod by the preach-
er to prove his position, but we
cau not give them all. Suffice it
tosay thiit the sermon was a mas-
terly effort, and all who heard it
went away feeling edified and en-
thused with now aims and pur-
poses.
At the conclusion of tho dis-
course un old fashioned hand
shaking followed, and the Mc-
Kinney District League Confer-
ence passed into history.
A notable feature of tho con-
ference has been the attendance
of, and participation in, the de-
liberations of tho body on the part
of the pastors in charge over the
entire district. There were only
two pastors absent from tho body
and it is almost certain their ab-
sence was caused from circum-
stances over which they had no
control.
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.
Is everywhere recognized as the
one remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant
to take. It is especially valuable
for summer diarrhoea in children
and is undoubtedly tho means of
saving the lives of a great many
children each year. For sale by
