The tnirty-third quadrennial gener-
copal Church. in progress at Los
Angeles. is composed of delegates
from the regular conference divisions
of the church. and during the session
laws for the government Of the church
are enacted, bishops are elected. and
the larger affairs of the great organi-
zation pertaining TO the educational
institutions supported by the church
and its policy upon public questions
are adjusted for another four years.
The largest educational project in
which the Methodist church is inter
ested is the American university. now
in course of construction at Washing
ton. The institution as originally
projected was to have an endowment
of $5,000,0G0. and an agreement was
reached at a former general confer
ence that the university should not
be opened until this money was in
hand. About $500, 900 has been col
lected and several large buildings
erected. Many Methodists now OPP
pose the idea of letting this property
stand idle for an indefinite period. and
this question of resembling or affirm
ing the action of former conference
regarding the university will therefore
be one of the most important to he set
tied by the present conference.
Another important duty before the
conference is the election oil bishops.
three 10 fill vacancies and three or
four to take the places of bishops who
have reached the age which incapaci-
tates them for further active duty.
One of the vacancies TO be filled was
caused by the resignation OF Bishop
Merrill of Chicago. who, after nearly
sixty years of active service in the
church. asked 10 be placed on the re-
tired or superannuate list.

him editor of the Western Christian
