There are but two Conferences 10
Indianapolis = the Indiana and the
Southeastern. The Indiana embraces
all of Indianapolis south of First
Street and west of Meridian Street;
the Southeastern takes all the bal
ance. Wesley, Strange, and Ames
Chapels are in the Indiana Confer
ence, and the only charges in the city
at present.
The spirit of schism has crepf In
among the Baptists. The Rhode
Island convention of Baptists voted
at its recent session that ministers
and churches admitting to commun-
ion persons not immersed could not
he reenrnized as regular Rantists.
