W- COMPLETE LINE OF INFANTS' SPRING OUTFITTING. -SS JOHN TAYLO Rev. Naylor Put on Supernumerary List. A truest ton of the vthod'oxy of Boston Un'iverslty regardBng the Biblo came up barfcre the Philadrfphla Conference in Kensington Methodist Boris-copal Church Monday afternoon and Professor H. C.

Sheldton, of that Institution, waa oallsdi upon by (Rev, T. now den; Thomas to tell the teaching attitude of the university concerning the integrity of the Scriptureu The Professor's explanation was considered! by Mr. Thomas a so vague and unsatisfactory that he moved that the name of the university be stricken from the list of educational institutions recommended to the patronage of the Conference. No one even seconded this motion and the committee's report waa adopted. Here is Professor Sheldon's statement: "We do not believe that it is wise to take the Bible In a piecemeal fashion and build large conclusions upont the assumption the Infallibility of detached portions.

We eo believe that the Bible taken in Its trend and outcome contains a complete system of ethical and religious truth. Taken in that sense it presents -a standard which no advance of thought can transcend or abridge as to its binding obligations." Mr. Thomas eaid afterward that while he made no charges regarding the orthodoxy of the teaching at Bos ton University, newspapers had said that the institution "went in for the higher Biblical criticism." It was also a significant fact that one of the uni versity's leading men had been indicted for heresy. He wanted to get light, therefore, as to the university's orthodoxy on Bible inspiration, but he hadn't received1 it from Professor Sheldon's explanation. The Conference at its morning session, voted to make the time-limit question the especial order of the day this morning.

A pathetic feature of the case of Rev. Joseph A. Bennett, who mysteriously disappeared' from his home at Cor-stoga, Lancaster county, two weeks ago, was brought out forcibly at the Conference by a collection amounting to $200.29, although Rev. Dr. Crouch objected' to this action and wanted a committee appointed tio take up the matter.

There were rumors afloat, he soid, regarding Mr. Bennett's absence which were not satisfactory. Two years ago similar rumors were heard, but were found, to be untrue. He thought the Conference should know just what the trouble was this time. Bishop Merrill called attention to the fact that young preach ens were coming to the front ranks In such numbers that there was danger of their crowding the older and' more experienced men out of the larger charges.

He paid he had been embarrassed1 this year by the demand of certain of the larger churches for younr pastor. After a general discussion on this question the following class was ad-, mitted to the Conference on trial: F. J. F. Morrow, Richmond; R.

toaprH Faked Bangorites. A rilick-tongued individual worked Bangor people last week, selling what he represented to be resurrection plants. He carried his stock with him1 and it is said he disposed of fully 1300 plants in the slate region. The price asked was fifty cents each, but where parties objected to paying so much they were sold for 25 cents. It was represented that the plants, which were in a dry state, would immediately begin growing after warm water was put on them, and they would bloom within 10 days.

It was also claimed' that the plants possessed medicinal virtues and also were great germ defitroyers. The purchasers are now all waiting for their resurrection plants to bloom. Jn the meantime the sllck-tongued stranger has sought other fields of labor.
