Bishop Newman delivered an address
which was both pertinent and candid,
preliminary to making the appoint
merts. He said in part
This conference has excelled all other
conferences for suggestions. l have had
men, women and children, ministers and
laymen, telling me what to do. These
are the perplexities that surround a bish-
op. can only draw my OWN conclusions
and be responsible to God.
THE eyes of the whole church are on
this city. 1t has reputation-not an
enviable one. II is known to ministers
and to bishops. They pay due atten-
ton to this beautiful city of Los An
geles, as you call it. See that you make
it so. You Methodists should have
compact together, so that you shall be
known abroad to stand for peace found
ed in righteousness.
Some of you talk too much-have
too much to say about your brothers. In
a certain sense you are overSeers, but
r OF in such degree.
Il am much concerned about this and
First Church. 1 hope their trustees will
remember that they are custodians of
the church property, and responsible to
the quarterly conference.
DIR. Kuynett, secretary of the Church
Extension Society says that for s25,O00,
in. easy payments with low interest, he
a
ernacle.
81 have sent man to First Church
who is full of life and vigor, and COM
petent as a pastor, one who will not
be a partisan. He is too much Of man
to lead a division"
In making the appointments the
Bishop said he had no personal Inter-
ests, but had acted In the fear of God
and for the best interests of the church.
Some of the ministers would go away
shouting and some with burdened souls;
but wait until next year. Perhaps some
of the latter would come back with
golden sheaves.
