Excerpt from Journal and Reports of the Thirty-Ninth Annual Session of the Detroit Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church: Held at Central Church, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Sept. 5-10, 1894 The Bishop read for scripture lessons, Malachi, chap. III, and I Thess, chap. III. Hymn 160 was announced and sung: When all Thy mercies, O, my God. Preliminary to the administration of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, the Bishop discoursed effectively open some of the significant truths embodied in that ordinance. The pastor of the church and the Presiding Elders of the Conference assisted the Bishop in the consecration and distribution of the elements, three hundred and thirty persons partaking. With prayer by the Bishop there closed an unusually devotional and inspiring communion service. The roll was called by Wm. Dawe, Secretary of the last Conference. The following 140 responded to their names: Seth Reed, Alanson R. Bartlett, Andrew J. Bigelow, Elisha E. Caster, Theron C. Higgins, Jesse B. Russell, Lucius S. Tedman, Wm. J. Campbell, Thos.
