Tho Methodist Episcopal church South
hasa strong hold on Illinois, and SO far
las can be learned the members have as
/ yet tlken very little interest in the propo-
sitior To surrender their distinctive exist
b cnce by changing their name. They held
their annual conference recently at pana,
: Christian county, and from the proceed
ings the following Interesting data have
been gained; The conference was or
ganized in sGG, and the members held
Z Ihciriirst annual conference at Nashville,
ILL.,, IL SOY. AZ that time they reported
~ Charges, or circuits, SO travel
'1ing n preachers, 10 local and 25o4
| members. Since then there have been
H.z0f Names placed on the conference roll

z inal Organization, u admitted on trial,

fercuce has lost; BY transfer, 81; located,

ia 1863 was 250t, and lG local preachers,
A.ast year the minutes show III local
preachers and 1885 members. The

a,rvachel in 1873, when IS local preachers

That year the Indiana conference
flNas Set off with 10 travelling, 10 local
preachers, and 1876 members, which left
