ference Of the Methodist Protestant Church
was taken up with discussing the advisa-
bility of resembling last conferences order
requiring the quarterly conferences to
send their records to the annual confer
ence for examination, the consideration of
paper defining the status of ministers
who serve outside work, and the trains
action of minor affairs of business The
discussion on $. j. Smiths resolution in
regard to resembling the conference order
about quarterly conference records, which
was continued over from Wednesday. was
begun almost Immediately after the close of
devotional exercises. The debate took wide
range, the opponents of the idea of annual
conference supervision over quarterly con-
ferences basing their arguments on the
ground of ilegality and assumption
Of authority. An effort was made
10 have the resolution laid upon
the table, but this failed, after
which the resolution was adopted. A reso-
luton passed later in the day instructing
the president to give special attention to
the quarterly conference records on his
visits to the churches and to endeavor to
have them kept accurate. The pastors
records were included in the presidential
supervision
At every session of conference, when re-
quests for the services of conference mem
bers for independent and other churches
and organizations are received, they are
strongly opposed by manyof the ministers.
The acceptance Of such calls is regarded
by some as something Of a reproacll, and
there seems to be disposition to regard
preachers accepting them as being hardly
entitled to as much consideration as the
preachers who give all their services TO the
conference. To do away as far as possible
with such notions, G. W. Butler, lay dele
gate from Lynchburg, offered paper the
adoption of which placed all the RESPONSE
bility for preachers going to such appoint-
fnents entirely upon the conference This
paper was adopted after a long debate and
after an attempt had been made to have it
laid on the table
