908 Broadway, Oct. z.
Tomorrow evening the Methodist
Church South will open its annual con-
ference with the preaching Of the intro
ductory sermon by Rev. J. J. N. Kenney
presiding elder of Fresno district.
The conference will be under the super
intendence Of Bishop Duncan, who has
been appointed to the Pacific conference
since last year, and this will be his first
appearance at a coast conference. Last
year an important change was made in
the arrangement of the various districts
There had previously been FIVE presiding
elders, each over district, but last year
the number was reduced to three and
their duties extended over much more more
territory. Reports on the working of this
new rule will be made and it is thought
they will show that especially in the
northern part Of the State the duties Of
the presiding elder have been more ex-
acting than he could attend to with per-
feet satisfaction.
The conference will be held at the AS

then retires TO give somebody else an op-

Toward the end Mr.. Wheelan began to
introduce Just a little too much business
and it would do no harm to tone down a
