effect this will have on the cause of

the indications are that it will be ben
eticial. That denomination proposes
to open the twentieth century with
two million converts and as many
dollars.
There are four conferences in the
state of Illinois. They are the Rock
River, Central Illinois, Illinois and
Southern Illinois. They meet an
nually, and the general plan of work
is the same. The bishop appoints
place where it will meet. The prin-
cipal work is the approving of the
ministers, all of whom present re-
ports for the year.
other Questions.
Among the other questions that
come up are those of transfers, trials,
discontinued or admitted mem bers,
claims upon the conference fund,
where the preachers are stationed
and mission work. A copy of the
minutes of each conference is pre-
scented to the general conference,
which meets every four years.
The work of the conference is near
lv all done by committees The
placing of the ministers is done by
the cabinet, which is composed of the
presiding elders and the bishop. The
appointments are announced the last
thing before the benediction at the
closing session. The meetings last a
week. The work of the year in the
church is closed at this time.
