Held at Church in Standardization War
rem viii BE the Presiding officer.
Public interest again begins to center
in the doings of Methodism as the time
for the annual session of the eastern
conferences draws near. Five Of these
bodies will convene ON April 3, as fol-
lows: The New England conference at
Salem, Mass, Bishop Merrill, presiding;
Newark conference at Tottenville, N. Y,
Bishop Hurst presiding; New England
Southern at Providence, r. l., Bishop
Walden presiding; New York at Kings
ton, N. Y, Bishop Mallalieu presiding,
and the New York East at Stamford,
Conn, Bishop Warren presiding. OF the
above Hartford's interest is largely in
the New York East conference as the
four Methodist churches of this city
come within it's jurisdiction. 1t is one
of the strongest numerically, and also
from point of wealth as regards proper
ty and general financial support. Few
are the ministers who belong to other
| conferences that would not consider
1t an honor to be member of that
distinguished body.
In 1849 it was set apart from the New
York conference with roll of 1923 mem
bers, and now numbers over 3O0
