The METHODIST CONFERENCE.
The Application of the Five-Ysar Pas


The Application OF the Five-Ysar Pas
toral Defined.
Nav YoRK, May 30.-When the General
Methodist Conference was called to order
this morning barely enough members were
present for the transaction of business.
After the journal was read and adopted.
The Committee on Reyisal presented re-
port referring to the admission OF proba-
TONERS into the church. After a brief de-
bate the report was tabled.
Bishop Andrews then asked the confer
ence to interpret the recently enacted law
touching the pastoral term Of five years. so
that it might be made clear fer the admin
Istration during the next quadrennium.
To this end. DIR. Wheeler, OF Erie, pre-.
ssnted the following resolution which was
passed.
The new rule of pastoral service shall
be applied as follows: At the session OF
annual conference next following this gen.
ersl conference, a preacher may be ap-
pointed TO any charge which he has not
served for three years preceding, and be
continued thereafter 10 said charge for five
years. and the pastor now serving the
charge for which he had not served for
three years preceding the present psstorsge,
may De continued through the fall term OF
i've years In all other cases the rule OF
i've years in ten shall be strictly applied. -
A discussion was precipitsted by the re-
port from the Committee on Temporal
Economy providing for better care Of super
anuated ministers. This report recon-
mended the creation Of board Of confer
ence claimants, consisting Of twelve men,
bers, and twelve lsymen appointed BY the
conference, with Corresponding Secretary
nominated oy the Board OF Bishops, who
who shall travel through the annual con
ferencss and ssc0re pledges and make col
iectio0s Tor q permanent and disbursinr
fund. Many held that the present plan ol
caring for the superanuated was sufficient
and many others declared that too much
could not be done for the men who had
made Methodism what it is. Il was finally
decided TO have the matter 20 over to the
next General Conference.
