Dr. W. A. Layton of the Brooklyn South District, the Rev. Dr.

Arthur H. Goodenough of the New York District, the Rev. Dr. Elmer A. Dent of the New Haven District, and the pastor of the taining church, the Rev.

Dr. W. A. Richard. Organization of the conference was perfected by the election of the Rev.

Dr. A. B. Sanford as secretary for the nineteenth time; he nominated as his assistant those who him last year--W. E.

William H. Lawrence, pastor of Union Church, died December 13, 1914. He joined the conference in 1886; was forty years and six months effective. Herbert A. Wood, of Quogue, L.

died January 4, effective. aged 57; was twenty-seven years Francis G. Howell died March 6, was 60 years old, and was effective thirty-six years. He held the record of a pastorate for nineteen years, the longest in the history of Methodism. George A.

Dusinberre was only made known today. He had been pastor at Greenport and Port Washington for four years. that Bishop he made it apparent Anderson was not going to lose much time in getting the business the Conference out of the way. District Superintendent Dent of the Haven District quickly disposed of the review of a year of work, altogether encouraging. District Superintendent Francis B.

Upham of the Brooklyn South District was rather emphatic in his declaration that more money should be given in maintenance of needed work, and suggested churches at Flushing, Port Washington, Knickerbocker, Roslyn Heights, Elmhurst Manor, Central Park, Mineola and Syosset. He also said: "Why not meet our foreign problems as if we had at least graduated from the kindergarten of the school of holy efficiency? In these great cities of ours, gold must be given instead of silver, silver in the place of the pitiable pennies that disgrace too frequently our simulated worship of God, and time and toil without limit. Inevitably, some of us are forced to admit, as we see the condition of Greater New York--this whole territory is becoming mission soil. Indeed, this entire metropolitan section is not much more than a port of entry for the continent where linger hundred of thousands of immigrants for whose coming we are no more responsible than are the farmers in the properous communities in the far West. Until the church at large gives for mission work in Manhattan and Brooklynsurely until Manhattan and Brooklyn disabuse their minds that our heroic societies have recourse equal to their well-nigh impossible task--York Street and Williams Avenue will be followed to their death by many other heartbroken and discouraged churches.

"In Suffolk County we have 22 churches, valued at $195,900, and 20 parsonages, valued at $57,250, a total valuation of $253.150. Yet in all this property in the entire county we have an indebtedness of only $2,050. Brooklyn South District has 21 churches, valued at $320.000, and 20 parsonages, valued at $82,800, a total of $403,700, with a debt of only $18,775." Bishop Richardne Cooke of PortJand, Rev. Dr. Sheridan, general secretary of the Epworth League, made short addresses.

Dr. George P. Mains, publishing agent of the Methodist. Book Concern, turned in a check of $4,784 as the concern' gift for the year to the conference, the largest in its history. Dr.

Mains reported $7,760 from the Book Concern for the retired members of the conference. Bishop Richard J. Cook presided for a few minutes while Dr. D. W.

CENTRAL CHURCH IS CROWDED. Presiding Bishop Welcomes Leaguers From Four Districts-Reports Show Progress. The New York Bast Conference for 1915 of the Methodist Episcopal Church was opened last night at the Bushwick Avenue Central Methodist Episcopal Church, Bushwick avenue and Madison street, with the Epworth League anniversary and -a reception to the bishop and the conference. Methodists from all parts of the borough, and Epworth the four districts of the conferenee crowded the large church and were roused to enthusiasm the stirring addresses of the presiding bishop of the conference, Bishop William F. Anderson, and the general secretary of the Epworth League, the Rev.

Dr. W. F. Sheridan. Bishop Anderson said that he redolced in the splendid achievement of the Epworth League because it meets the real needs of the young people and helps them to find themselves, and to spend the formative years in the making of splendid personality.

"In the past we Americans have put a tremendous emphasis on material things," said the bishop. "We have been a nation of money lovers and money getters, and the emblem of America has been the dollar bill, but in the years that are near at hand we shall have a higher ideal and shall set an example to the European nations. "Heretofore our aim has been to get; but now we are coming to see that the chance to give is best. From every platform is now preached. the gospel that the truest happiness is found by the man who gives himself in service to his fellow man." Bishop Anderson told how he himself was converted on Easter Sunday in 1876 in a little church in the hills of West Virginia.

Dr. Sheridan believes in revivals and evangelism and said that people who criticise them as merely emotional and transient are themselves superficial. He gave the stages in the religious advancement of youth as instruction, conversion, self-expression and personal initiative in Christian service. The first and second of these are taken care of by the Sunday School, but the others belong to the work of the Epworth League. "One of the strongest powers which the Methodist Episcopal Church has today," said Dr.

Sheridan, "is its power as a witnessing Church. We need living testimony, and it is that se pression that Christian confession which the Epworth League teaches and encourages." The president of the Epworth League of the New York East Conference District, the Rev. Millard F. Robinson, presided at the meeting and called on representatives of the four districts in the conference to give three-minute reports of the work in their sections. The New York District Epworth League, through its president, Ernest F.

Wise, reported a most successful year. The work in this district was stimulated by the offer of a silver loving cup to the most efficient chapter of the league. District Superintendent W. A. Layton spoke for the Brooklyn South District and H.

L. Thompson for the Brooklyn North District. The most was the fresh-air work of last sumeffective work done by these a districts mer, when several thousand dollars was raised and used in sending children into the country. The New Haven District was notable this year for the wonderful success of its Plainville camp, meeting. This district is well organized, all of the chapters co-operating most amicably.

There was also a short address by Alonzo C. Monigle, a member of the board of control of the General Epworth League, a and several hymns were sung by the Jamaica Male Quartet of the Jamaica Methodist Episcopal Church. After the formal part of the programme, the company greeted the and the members of the conference, and refreshments were served.

Sunday Goes to Band Concert. AUDIENCE WOULDN'T WAKE UP. Even So, Evangelist Sure He'll "Put It Over," In Spite of Apathy. (Special to The Eagle.) Paterson, N. April 7-Billy Sunday wasn't so very happy last night at his meeting in the Tabernacle, so he just gathered his gang together and "beat it" up to the Armory, where he heard Sousa's band play and made a nice little speech about music and art and things.

Also he paid a compliment, without slang, to his old friend, John Philip, and John Philip said a lot of nice things about Billy, and they had a happy little mutual admiration meeting for maybe ten The Tabernacle meetings yesterday seemed to be near the ice house. Possibly one of those big mansions which are so close to Billy's preaching emporium opened the back door and let out a little frigidness, but in any event, Sunday's jumping and dancing -even removal of his coat--did not awaken the enthusiasm of Paterson. And. Billy was disappointed, SO he went up to hear the music. Billy Sunday is not making the hit here that he did in Philadelphia, and something is going to happen.

But even at that, Billy got away with some very artistic poses and did his gymnastic appeal to man in fine style. The Devil wasn't around and didn't come up to fight, and Paterson just sat on the hard benches and wondered why the crowd didn't come and why no one "hit the trail." And although they were informed that they were "mutts" and "boobs" once or twice, they didn't wake up. of course they laughed when Billy got down on his stomach and gave them a good impression of how some evangelists have been called by God, but they liked to sit quietly around, Just as if they were home with their sewing, and listen to his slang. As a slangist, if that is a correct expression, Billy Sunday is a great success. He has a line of talk that is a marvel, and of his he got a good proportion of it out system last night.

"Lord, this bunch is all from Missouri," quoth the preacher, "and there are a lot of guys around here that had better beat it and I'm going to tell 'em SO before I get through. I guess I can put it over." And right here let it be said that Billy Sunday, during the evening, used the phrase "put it possibly a modification now and then, exactly seventeen times. His pet expression, "pepperino," appeared but nine times, whien proves he wasn't at his best last night. "Listen, folks," announced Billy, while the audience was wondering if the moving picture show down at their new theater WAS drawing big crowds, "If Christ was on earth now he'd be hotfooting it around in an automobile." was then that Billy got a bit warmed up, and off came his coat. "If people won't listen to me when I have my coat on, I guess I can take it off.

This frock coat preaching stuff is a lot of bull," was the way he explained his action. Now for a few statistics. It is possible to be statistician in covering Billy Sunday, and the best way to do it, it would seem, is to go to the meeting equipped with pencil and paper and to make a list of the slang or light expressions the evangelist uses. Here are a few: "Put it over," used seventeen times. "Beat it." used twelve times.

"Run for his money," used nine times. "Pepperino," used nine times. "Hotfooted." used. twice. "Clean smash." used twice.

There were, of course, several other expressions. "Hey, was popular, but he used that to aweken interest among the congregation. When it was all over and "Ma" was beginning to worry lest the band concert would have to be overlooked, Billy stopped right in the midst of a sentence and started to walk away, There was no applause. Paterson just kept right on thinking about the movie theater and didn't realize that Sunday had got through. So he turned around.

"It's all over, folks," he whispered. And then one or two applauded in a polite way. Billy invited congregation to go up to hear Sousa, but the audience had other things to do, and while some of them did trail along, it developed that the Sunday party alone had tickets for the concert, so most of them grouped themselves outside the armory after a short wait trailed downtown to' the regular evening parade on Main street. Billy is "coming back" this afternoon; he said so himself. TALK TO TRUANT OFFICERS By Supt.

Ernest K. Coulter, S.P.C.C., on Work of Two Departments. A series of talks to the field workers of the Bureau of Attendance will be inaugurated on Saturday, April 10, at 10:30 a.m., by Ernest K.

ROYAL ARCANUM EVENTS The campaign of the seven prestdents closed March 31. The result of the six months' effort to get new members was greater than expected.

The council has instructed twenty new members in this period, winding up with nine, March 31. Delegations from Midwood, De Long, Gilbert, General Putnam and Pro Patria, bringing candidates from several of these, made a rousing big meeting and added vim and energy to Dauntless' degree work.

Telephone 581 Bedford. LESTER W. HILL, Undertaker In a letter in which he points out the business that is done by the Butler Street Court, the increase in the number of cases being heard there and throughout the City Magistrates courts in Brooklyn, and the necessity for the maintenance of conditions that will serve best the case of justice, Edward J. Dooley, acting chief magistrate for Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, has come to the defense of the City Magistrates Court at 2 Butler street, and has advised the Acting Controller that it would be adverse to the public welfare to discontinue it. According to the Acting Chief Magisrate, the records of conditions in Brooklyn now show that there is reasonable ground for requesting an additional magistrates court and staff instead of lending support to a project to abolish a court already existing.

Magistrate Dooley makes this assertion in showing that the magistrates courts here handled 4,059 more cases during the first three months of this year than they did for the same period last year. If the proportion continues, he shows that the increase for the year would be 12,177. For the Butler Street Court itself, Magistrate Dooley shows that it four police precincts with a total population of 180,000 and an area of 3.47 square miles. The arraignments last year were 7,817, an average of twentyfive cases a day for the court day of six hours, and an average of fourteen minutes for each case. The Magistrate makes this comment: "Surely, fourteen minutes on an average spent on each proceeding is not too much time devoted to a careful deliberation of a judicial proceeding in which the liberty of a citizen is involved.

I take it that the citizens of the Borough of Brooklyn would rather have a sterling quality of justice meted out by our magistrates than a break-neck manner of expediting the matters brought before them, a method that probably would jeopardize the scrupulous scrutiny of the evidence that every person charged with crime is entitled to receive from the magistrate." Magistrate Dooley goes on to show the protests that came from the section when the court was closed a few days last summer, when under repair, and points out that the three months of this year, compared with last year. show an increase of 381 cases. The average, if maintained, he says, would bring 1.524 to the court this year, and would mean a yearly total of 9,341 cases, allowing an average consideration for each case of only twelve minutes. The Acting Chief. Magistrate also touches on the that the Amity street precinct is to be abolished.

If it is true that this station is to be abandoned, he says, the station house, at a very little cost for alterations, could be made into a suitable court house for the Second District City Magistrates Court, and thus save the rental of the premises now used. MRS. MOLLENHAUER'S ESTATE.
