! The Chicago Inter Ocean of yesterday says:
'The Centenary Church people have not given
up all hope of persuading the Bishop to change
his mind and make the transfer of DR.. Houghton
from Indianapolis as they desired The Bishop
is perfectly willing, but tho trouble is with his
cabinet, who stand firm by their resolution to
protect the preachers already in the conference.
1t is the pride of the Methodist Church that it
has pulpit for every preacher and preacher
for every pulpit. AS the conference now stands
the churches and preachers are about equal.
Three years ago Dr. Thomas dropped out and
DR.. George came to take his place. There was
no additional burden then, but to bring DR..
Hougbton into the conference now to take one
| of the best churches, it is to make one more
frst-cass man for The conference to take care of.
| II these outside men only came for a year or
Two, it would be different, but they all come to
stay, and when their three-year terms are up
| they come before the conference to be supplied
| with another good place. We're this allowed to
| continue, all the good churches would soon be
! given to the outsiders, and the older members
be crowded down into the weak oieRrches which
cannot give that support desired
| "The presiding elders propose to protect the
| preachers in their districts by regulating the
| law of supply and demand. The only way for
| Centenary Church to secure DR.. Houghton now
is to bring influence to bear upon the cabinet and
induce them to back down from this position
If they do this the Bishop will transfer their
man. If they cannot do this they will have sent
| to them member of the present conference
and there is more figuring as to who this man
| will be than on almost any other appointment"
The Times says: "ReV. DR.. Ross c. HOughtOn, of
Indianapolis. will not come to Chicago, but will
lem ain where he is"
