calling of roll and other preliminaries settled
after which Bishop Thomas A. Starkey will
make his annual address or rather report
upon the work of the diocese. 1t is under
stood that the report this year will be an
unusually favorable one. The Bishop has
visited for confirmation purposes every
parish in the diocese. He has attended the
corner stone laying of two churches and
officiated at the dedication OF several others.
There is q healthy feeling of rivalry among
the smaller charges in their missionary
work and the debts of these charges in a few
cases have been wiped out and in a great
many have been materially diminished. The
Bishop notes with great satisfaction the
large number of new members taken into
the churches and the increasing signs of
strength in parishes hitherto sickly and
weak.
After the Bishops address the election of
members of the standing committees will

ELECTION or LAY
A meeting of stewards of the Jersey City
district of the Methodist Episcopal Church
met in Trinity M. E.. Church, York street,
on Thursday afternoon, to elect a represen-
tative to the annual conference. For many
years Mr.. Sterling, formerly of Trinity
Church. hut now of Hedding, has held that
honorcd post. During the past year a little
pickering and squab5ling has occurred be
tween some Of the brethren, and MIR. Ster-
ling in somo way became identified
with it. he left Trinity Church, and since
strove hard to defeat his old pastor for the
presiding eldership. The friends of the pas
tor, remembering oil this, had their revenge
at the meeting by bowling out MI. Sterling
and elec6ing in his stead Mr.. Henry a. Cham
berIain of Emory Church. The vote stood
u to4.
Mr.. Sterling, however, who is thus re-
tired, has been for many years a very hard
working member OF the church. He has
rendered many services to the Methodist
cause, and has been a prominent figure in
conventions. He retires full of honors.
