20 much business came before the New York
Methodist Conference that an extra session
was held yesterday TO finish up the proceed
inRs The principal business was the appoint
ment OF ministers TO the various charges. and
that came late In the day. The most linz
portant assignment in this city was that of
Dr. A. b. Kendia Of the Newark Conference to
the ministry Of Calvary Church. where the
Conference has been holding It's meetings, in
place OF DR.. J. X Day who becomes Chan
cellor OF Syracuse University. Andrew Long,
