Los Angeles, Cal., May 16.—Sunday
was welcomed by the delegates to the ’
Methodist general conference as a day
of rest, after a week of continuous j
sessions, either of the conference or
of the various committees. While i
enough visiting bishops and ministers
volunteered their services to the pul
pit supply committee to fill every pul
pit in the city a.xM suburban towns, at j
both morning and evening services, the
great body of delegates rested and
talked over the events of yesterday’s
session of the conference. Sermons by
the following bishops were preached
Sunday:
By H. W. Warren, at Boyle
Heights M. E .church; Bishop D. H.
Moore. Centennial M. E. church; Bish
op F, W. Warne, Boyle Heights, evn
ing; Bishop H. J. Vincent, Vincent M.
E. church, where dedicatory ceremonies
were held; Bishop Earl Cranston,
Blanchard’s hall; Bishop Joseph C.
Hartzell, First M. E. church, Pasadena.
All other Methodist pulpits in the
city and many other denominations
were occupied by visiting clergymen.
At the First M. E. church, this city.
Dr. Joseph Barry led a large evan
gelistic mass meeting, and at Simp
son’s auditorium. Dr. Frank Mason
North, George P. Eckman and J. W.
Bashford made addresses to a large
crowd.
Hazard’s pavilion was crowded to
overflowing to listen to a sermon by
Dr. Waddy Moss, fraternal delegate
from the Methodist church in Eng
land, and at the same place there was
a meeting of the Women’s Home Mis>
sonary society.
The happenings at Saturday’s ses
sion of the general conference, when
a vote was taken on the retirement of
five bishops, furnished a live topic of
discussion among the delegates Sun
day. The general opinion of the dele
gates is that when the report is given
out Monday morning it will show a
decided majority in favor of the re
port of the episcopacy committee rec
ommending the retirement of Bishops
Vincent. Walden, Andrews, Mallalieu
and Foss. The prompt and determined
manner in which the subject was put
through the conference Saturday, in
the face of strong efforts to postpone
definite action until Monday, was much
commented upon. There are a certain
number of delegates, especially among
the laymen, who are disposed to criti
cise the manner in which the five aged
bishops were deprived of their high
offices; but the leaders seem to feel
relieved that the most unpleasant duty
of the conference has been performed, !
and that the way is> now clear to make
up other pressing and important legis
lation.
It is Quite likely that the election of
eight, possibly more, bishops will take
place during the week. The day has
not been decided upon, but it is gen
erally believed it will be Wednesday
ir Thursday.
Other matters that will come before
the conference this week are: Action
:>f the Methodist church upon divorce,
consolidation of the various branches
if the book concern, limiting the ten
ure of pastorate, placing the church on
•ecord in the matter of amusements, ;
viz.: dancing, card playing, theater
?oing, etc., aad many other matters
that have been brought up in me
tncrials from different conferences,
rhe number of candidates for bishops
?rows daily, and no less than 36 name
ire now mentioned in this connection.

In Society.
A woman in society is obliged to beep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
Is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition know'n as sys
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such a time, if
they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact that
Peruna is the tonic for a run down,
depleted nervous system.

when I am exceptionally tired or worn
