BISHOP PHILLIPS CLOSES CONFERENCE WITH SERMON ON "A SHORT BED AND A NARROW COVER" HITS INFIDELS AND DEMONINATIONAL "ISM" Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 19.--The scholarly, but soul stirring sermon delivered by Bishop C. H. Phillips of Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday morning, climaxed the sixty-sixth annual session of the Kentucky and Ohio Annual Conference of the C. M. E. Church which closed here last night. The large auditorium of the Phillips Temple Church was taxed to capacity with hundreds on the outside when the morning service began at 11 o'clock Sunday, as hundreds of people came from the adjoining towns, and many from Cleveland, Indianapolis and Louisville, where there are numbers of members of the C. M. E. Church. The auditorium was crowded throughout the day. Sunday afternoon the Cleveland, Indianapolis and Dayton choirs presented a concert with Luther King, Cleveland's promising young tenor, as director. The conference convened last Wednesday morning in Phillips Temple, Rev. N. H. Wiggins, pastor, the opening sermon being preached by Bishop J. Arthur Hamlett of Kansas City, Kans., and closed Sunday night with the reading of the appointments by Bishop Phillips, after one of the greatest meetings in the history of the conference. This was a significant fact since it marked the separation of the Kentucky and Ohio Conference, named for the two states, into two conferences, the Kentucky, which meets in Lexington next year, and the Ohio, which meets in Indianapolis. This was done at the General Conference which met in St. Louis last May. The Kentucky Conference includes appointments in the central and eastern parts of the state, and the Ohio, work in Ohio, Indiana and parts of Pennsylvania. Bishop C. H. Phillips of Cleveland, Ohio, now has in his diocese the Kentucky, Ohio, West Kentucky and California Conferences. It was a touching scene here Saturday afternoon when Bishop Phillips asked those to stand who had been members of the Kentucky and Ohio Conference ten, twenty, thirty and forty years, and when the bishop, Revs. G. W. Stoner and R. D. Stoner, of Louisville and Cleveland, respectively, the three stood as the only (Continued on page 4)
