He declared himself ashamed of compara tively young men, who. he said. asc for the supernumerary relation simply to en gage In business and hang on to the min istry and the prestige that goes with it. Several, known to come under the lash ing he administered, were seated with in the sound of his voice. It was noted that Bishop Smith, of Portland, presid ing, gave the aged parson full leeway and did not Interrupt or call him to order. "I am almost ashamed to stand here now. old and infirm as I am." said the veteran preacher, "and sustain the su perannuate relation to the conference, while I can stand on my feet, there is so much to be done. But, if you will pardon me. Bishop and brethren. I must say that I am ashamed of some young men who ask for supernumerary rela--tlon when we all know they Intend to sell real estate or engage In some other business, and Bishop, since coming to this conference. I have heard more preachers talking about what salaries are paid in certain charges than I have about bow many souls they can save for God. It makes me heart-sick." "Father" Flynn There. "Father" John Flynn. the oldest preacher in the conference responded to the mllcall of the superannuates mentally as bright as ever, but perceptibly more infirm In body.
