At the last Annual Conference Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church for Kansas, SaIina was
chosen as the place OF holding the conference
in 1873. We deem the unanimity with which
the conference chose our city q compliment.
and we believe the members will be fully sat
isfied that our town is as hospitable to strangers
as 1t IL enterprising in business. The confer
ence convenes on the 18th Of March and con-
tinues in session about eight days. 1t will he
presided over by Bishop Bowman. Ii is our
purpose to publish 4 daily paper, giving rec
ord of the proceedings Of the conference. The
members OF the NJ. f. Church in this city are
already at work making preparations to en-
terrain the members Of the conference during
their stay with us. and in this they will be
materially aided by members OF other
churches.
