Gafaev, December 2.-Tonight
will be long remembered by the
Methodists Of South Carolina. 1t was
expected that there would be many
changes in the conference. but the
Bishop handed out number OF sur
prises. Before reading the appoint
ments the bishop made a talk, SET
ting forth his reason for making
changes. He said that no one was
reduced because Of inefficiency, but
because he believed in rotation OF
the ministers both as to place and
Office. He thought it right that pre-
siding elders should 60 back into the
pastorate and make some new SER
mons and stay with their families.
The bishop said he had had all the
experiences Of the pastorate and was
not giving any appointments which
he himself had not had. His talk
was we'll received. The conference
was in a spiritual condition, having
Just held an experience meeting.
There were songs and witnessing,
and when the bishop arose to read
the appointments the body was in a
tender mood. The bishop begged all
to take their work without complaint
and do the best work Of their lives.
