APPOINTMENTS.
Two Canton Pulpits That Will See
New Faces This Year-Our
Ministers Superanuated.

Special to Democrat.
Alliance, September 19.-According
to the custom that prevails
in all Methodist conferences, the last
thing before the dissolution was the an
nouncement Of the appointments to the
various charges for the ensuing year.
1t is this that interests personally, the
members Of the conference AS is we'll
known under the itinerant system Of
this denomination the pastors are ap-
pointed every year and are often
changed. Fifty years ago no preacher
could remain at one charge longer than
two successive years. Since then the
time limit has been extended until it is
now five years. Comparatively few,
however, remain that time. 1t some-
times happens that a preacher at q GER
tain charge is found to be as Abraham
Lincoln once expressed it, "a round peg
in square hole" He does not "ft,"
and this without actual fault of eithe:
pastor or people. On an average each
year probably ne-third-possibly more
OF the preachers are changed. The
presiding bishop is the appointing power
and his action is final; from it there is
no appeal.
The appointments were made at the
session OF the conference this morning
The bishop gave them out and the con-
ference has adjourned. There were
many changes in the Canton districc,
The changes in the district are as fol-
| lows:
Union avenue, Alliance, D.L Davis.

Lisbon, T. f. Phillips
| Minerva, w. c. Walters
New Waterford, S. NJ. Chalker.
| Waynesburg, T.. f.. Sparks.
| Winona, s. A. Call
All Of the other appointments remain
as they were. Rev. Louis Payne, who
has been pastor of Simpson church, and
who has been in i'll health, has been
placed on the superanuated list. Rev
Hollett, as has been previously an
nOunced, is given a better charge than
the Lawrence avenue church, at Canton
and has been sent to Braceville, where
he will have a better field for his labors
Before adjournment, strong resolu-
tiOns were passed denouncing the army
canteen, calling on the president to dsa
his influence to set aside the decision
of the attorney general on that point
The resolutions also declare against the
sunday newspapers, declare for the
sanCtity of the SABBATH, and score tie

vindication.
