WORK or THE METHoDlsTs.
The Moving Question Again Before q
Great Conferences.

REtAt A0hitfthCCs
OMAHA, May i9.-At the Methodist con
ference Jesse l.. Hurt was elected secretary
OF the Sunday School society by acclama-
tion. DIR. J. w. Mendenhan was elected
editor of The Methodist Review by accla-
nation.
The report of the committee on itineracy
was taken up for discussion The majority
favors the removal OF time limit, believing
Methodism could be better subserved by
the permanent location Of ministers. The
minority do not favor the removal OF the
time limit The whole committee recon-
mend that the discipline be amended 20
read; when a travelling preacher Is nc
cused Of being 30 unacceptable, inefficient
OF secular as TO be no longer useful in his
work, the conference may require him to
ask for a location and II he shall refuse to
comply with the request the conference
may, after formal trial and conviction, To-
cate him without his consent; provided,
however, that in no case shall preacher
be located while there are charges against
him for immoral conduct"
DR.. Edwards, chairman Of the committee,
spoke in favor Of the majority, holding that
the adjustment of the time limit would not
abolish but rather promote itineracy in the
church. DR.. Maines, of New York, then
arose and in an eulogistic speech, nominated
James Monroe Buckley, of New York, as
editor Of the New York Christian Advocate.
Amid the widest enthusiasm Dr. Buckley
was elected. Arthur Edwards, Of Detroit
was reelected editor of the Northwestern
Advocate at Chicago David II. Moore was
elected editor Of the Western Advocate
