John Graham, who has been actively engaged in the ministry for 52 years, asked to be placed on the superannuated list, and after his request was granted, he arose and invited the members of the conference to attend the golden wedding of Mrs. Graham and himself on the 15th of this month. The conference then raised $104 and converted it into gold, which was presented to Mrs. Graham by Bishop Newman. Mr. and Mrs. Graham walked to the alter arm in arm and received the money, while the congregation sang Ben (rest unreadable) Rev. John Graham, formerly pastor of the M.E.
