30 that when any given church through its
committee makes arrangements previous to
the session of the annual conference, with
any given minister, TO assume its pastorate
for the coming year. the bishop on request
almost invariably ratifes the arrangement
Arrangements previously made have thus be-
come quite common,-more so outside of
New England than within its bounds, and
| give rise to the notices frequently appearing
| IN the columns of the daily press, that GER
| tain clergymen have been ''called" to the
pastorate of certain churches. These are
frequently misleading. as the most that can
be done is the making of one of these con-
ditional arrangements. concerning which there
is always the possibility that the bishop may,
in view of all the facts at hand. refuse to
ratify them. Where arrangements are not
made, the bishop depends on the advice and
council Of the presiding elders, and these
officials are understood TO discourage them
An effort has been made in some quarters
to make the Office of presiding elder elective.
but it has failed, owing largely 10 a very gen.
eral feeling that these officers being practically
the agents of the bishop should be appointed
by him as at present. An elective presiding
eldership was made an issue in some of the
New England Conferences in the election of
delegates to the General Conference of 1876,
but most of the friends of the measure are
now as glad that it suffered defeat as were its
opponents. Perhaps the element of the
Methodist Episcopal economy, that at present
causes the most friction, in the three years
limit to the pastorate, and all throughout the
church there are large numbers in favor of
the extension of this limit TO five years, or its
removal altogether, but whether this could
be done without destroying one of the most
essential features of the Methodist Episcopal
economy, viz. the itineracy, is serious
question.
There are two conferences in the Pine Tree
State. The Maine and the East Maine. The
former has a membership of l30 ministers
and l25 churches, with a membership of ll2
l2,0l3. The latter has membership of
ministers, and numbers Ill churches. with
2,ll7 members. Few changes are expected
in either of these conferences, and these few
are comparatively unimportant- The great
Methodist Episcopal machine is marvel,
and works marvellously free from friction
When it is considered that the relations be-
tween pastor and people in nearly thousand
churches are each year here in New England
alone reviewed, and in at least third of the
cases changed, from three to five hundred
clergymen going TO new fields of labor, and
as many churches receiving new pastors. all
within period of thirty days, with but
single Sabbath's interruption of the work, and
all, too, noiseessly and quietly, il is not TO be
wondered at that with all its intricate machin
erv, the masses of its ministers and members
are opposed to change and resist innovations.
Methodism As system has its hardships
and its disadvantages but it has also its adj
vantages, and must be reckoned when taking
account of the moral forces of New England.
