METHODISTS TO CONVENG
The Baltimore Conference TO Be
Held Here In April.
{ hanges VIII Re Caused by the Ex-
piratiOn Of the Terms of Three
Presiding Elders-DeIegates to He
Sent 10 the General Church Session
i'm Chicago-The Laymen's Meeting.

On Wednesday April 4, the Baltimore
Conference OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church will open its annual conference in
the Metropolitan Church, this city, OF
which the Rev DIR. Frank Bristol, is the
pastor. Bishop John NJ Walden will pre-
side -
Three Of the presiding elders Of the con-
ference-Rev. Dr. W. S. Edwards, of the
First Baltimore district; the Rev. DR.. Lu-
ther b. Wilson, of the Washington district,
and Rev. ". NJ Ferguson. of the Baltimore
district-have served the full siX-year
term in their respective districts, and their
appointments will have to be changed.
These changes viii probably necessitate
Other changes in the various districts, in
addition TO those that are usually made
A few of the ministers have had their re
spective charges for five years-the maxi
mum allowed by the CONFERENCE.-THE other
changes viii be necessitated by this fact.
The Rev. ". f. Bird, OF Havre de Grace
East Baltimore district; the Rev A. Bic
lashi. of the Union Church of Washington
Washington district, and the Rev. joel
Brown, Of Westminster. in the West Balti-
more district, have been in charge of these
churches for FIVE years. Meme of the pas
tors in either the Baltimore or Frederick
districts. the remaining districts in the
conference. need be changed so far as the
five year limit is concerned.
One OF the most important matters OF
regular routine business, will be the cleo
tion Of delegates to the General Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
which will be held in Chicago, beginning
on May l. Until this year the Baltimore
Conference has been entitled to four cleri-
cal delegates. Owing to an increase in
the conference is entitled 10
send five clerical representatives. The Rev.
Or. John Lanahan has been one Of the
clerical representatives OF the Baltimore
Conference at the General Conference at
every meeting of that body since 1864. Be
sides the clerical delegates, at least two,
and probably five, lay delegates will be
sent The lay delegates will be elected by
the Lay Electoral Conference, which will
meet on Friday, April 6.
Until the meeting of the last General
Conference the annual conferences were
entitled 10 only two lay delegates. At the
annual conferences since then the matter
Of giving equal representation TO the laity
has been discussed and voted upon favor
ably. On this account il is probable that
five lay delegates will be elected and Will
70 TO Chicago and if the General Confer
ence ratifies the action Of the annual con-
ferencps the additional members of the
laity will be admitted as delegates.
The laymen's convention will also be
held. as usual during conference week.
