Ass1enments Made by b North d.
kota Methodist Conference.
The North Dakota Methodist confer.
ence concluded its business at Fargo.
The resolutions were rather common
place. The entire session was n Of
routine work. with the excursion to
Wahpeton Friday to visit the Methodist
university about the only incident.
There was a fight Saturday, after the
location Of the next conference at
Jamestown, to change the time Of meet
ing to the fall. The motion, which was
lost then, was taken up again Tuesday.
The first vote was a tie, and the Sec
ond resulted In the retention Of the
present spring meeting plan.
The sessions Of the conference have
been we'll attended, and Bishop Valid
ems duties as presiding officer have
been characterized rather by the man
ner in which he kept after the petty de-
tails of the work. He insisted upon the
observance Of the minute principles OF
Methodism, and was pronounced In his
adherence to the strictest time-honored
principles. He left the impression on
the ministers Of being a shrewd leader,
as a result Of q somewhat stubborn
fight over some of the appointments,
which were held up several hours after
they were ready for announcement.
The former presiding elders were re-
tanned. and Rev. W. P.~Vance. who has
been wanted by the Simpson Street
church in Minneapolis. was again as
signed to Fargo, beginning his sixth
veal as pastor.
