BAPTIST CONFERENCE.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Nelson, last night. The Baptist Conference resumed today, thoro being a largo attendance of delegates. A scheme was brought down for abolishing the financial deficit, and was received with great enthusiasm. The local preachers’ report was also presented. In the afternoon the Rev. J. J. North, of Spreydon, read a vigorous paper on church methods in relation to tho need of the times. He pleaded for a revision of practical method and pulpit phraseology to accommodate the temper of the time. A lengthy and breezy debate ensued, which the Rev. J. D. Greenhough summed up. At the evening session, when the church was well filled, the President, Rev. A. Collins, delivered his address. After an eloquent reference to the jubilee, and a tribute to the pioneers, he addressed the Assembly on the vital need of modern churches. The address consisted of a fervent appeal for fuller recognition of the essential nature of the work of tho Holy Spirit. The address was well received, and applauded at the close.
