Year.
The Northern German conference
concluded its fifth annual meeting in
the Dayton's bluff church yesterday at
o'clock. 1t was regarded as highly
satisfactory review of the work of the
year. The announcements for next
year were made before adjournment.
About twenty changes were made in
the pastors OF the churches. A number
had served i've years, which, according
10 the rules of the conference, is the
limit of time that minister can re-
main in one church. To provide suita-
bic places it was necessary to make
other changes. Among those who are
compelled TO change their field OF labor
is Rev. A. II. KOerner, pastor of the
church where the conference has been
held. He has been with the church
five years, having been sent there when
the church was but year old. AS
showing the success of his work, it now
has a membership of 227. When the
work of the last session began yes
terday the transfer of Max Dielerti
from the West German conference
