METHODIST ITINERANCY.

The rule limiting a Methodist pas
tors stay in one charge has been in
force so many years that its abolition
by the general conference will seem
q startling innovation even TO many
Methodists. In fact. the church has
simply returned TO its own earlier
practice and again made the pastor $
tenure entirely dependent on the bish-
ops judgment. A Methodist preacher
may now remain in one church all his
lie if successive bishops believe the
interests of religion are served by
such permanence
