ONE DISTRICT LESS.
Important Action Taken by Methodists
At Eft. Atkinson.

Fort. Atkinson, Wis, Sept. 21.-The
Methodist Episcopal conference was
preceded this afternoon by one hour of
devotional services beginning at S
o'clock. The report of the districts
was continued. At the conclusion of
the report several visiting ministers
were introduced. Among them was
Rev. w. j. Bowen, colored, of the
Western Missionary society. The or
der of conference work was laid aside
Fifteen minutes was given to DR.. Kurz,
Of Chicago, representing the Methodist
Book concern, who gave 4 short talk
in the interest of the work. DR.. Rog-
ers, of the Wesley hospital of Chicago,
was allowed five minutes. He gave an
interesting talk on the great good done
there and ne urged the Methodist con-
ference to raise what they could to
assist in the work. A committee was
appointed to confer with him A reso-
luton was introduced reducing the
number Of districts in the conference,
with the object of giving the presid-
ing elders less time in the large par
ishes and more time IN the weaker
parishes. Much discussion on this point
took place, the general opinion seeming
to be that both good administrative
ability and good revivalism were need
ed. The result was a decision to re-
duce the number of districts from five
to four by a vote of &c to AZ. Rev.
Mr.. Ostrom introduced a resolution
smaller limits and to make the presiding
elder of that district the city missionary,
according to the recommendation of the
City Missionary society. The resolu-
ton was tabled, but will probably
come up again.
