KANSAS CHURCH AFFAIRS.
Kansas NJ ethodists.

Tho fortieth annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Kansas
was in session in Leavenworth last week.
The conference was presided over by
Bishop d. A. Goodsell, of San Francis
co, Cal. The fourteen bishops of the
church in the United States alternate in
presiding over the 113 annual con-
ferences under their jurisdiction. Of the
more than million dollars raised for
missions by the M. E. church last year.
this conference raised nearly its share,
and so of the other sums raised for the
benevolences.
The Methodist Episcopal church dates
its first woSk in Kansas as far back as
1929, when it established a mission at
Shawnee Mission, under charge of Rev.
Thomas johnson. The first Methodist
church organized was perfected at the
same place and by the same pastor in
March 1882, one Shawnee and one Del
aware-'a head marketing the first
converts.
The first session of the Kansas con-
ference was held in Lawrence. October
1856, presided over bv Bishop Ossman
c.. Baker, alter whom Baker university
was named, The session was held IN a
tent, and sixteen members composed the
conference. of whom only two now sur
vive, and each is past his three score
years and ten-B. F. Bowman and J.
Dennison. The roll OF the conference
now numbers 162. although its limits
now confine it to the eastern portion of
the state. From it has been formed
three other conference.-the South Kan
sas, the Southwest Kansas and the
Northwest Konsas, averaging 100 mem
bers each. The lay membership in these
four conferences is nearly 100000.
