METHODIST CONFERENCE COMES
TO CLOSE
TIME LIMIT OF SERVICE Is
EXTENDED
Bishop Nicely Makes Appointments.
Lively Discussion Ends in Decision
to Choose Presiding Elders
by Election


The time limit of Methodist minister
in the Southern California conference is
extended to fifty years according to the
action of the conference yesterday at its
closing session.
In the discussion it was brought out
that the extension of the time limit would
not make any change except for the elm
ination of the compulsory point of being
Obliged to leave a pastorate on the time
limit regardless Of the desires of pastor
and congregation. 1t is understood that
a pastor will remain at the church of
his appointment by the bishop for one
year at least
A spirited discussion arose regarding
the election of the presiding elders by
the ministers or their appointment by
the bishop presiding. 1t was decided in
favor of election by vote of 70 to A.
1t was decided after considerable dis
cussion that the laymen electors would
affiliate with the ministers in the con-
ference work and sessions every four
years. This was carried by a large ma
jority
"A resolution was brought before the
session designated as a labor resolu-
tion," which brought forth spirited dis
cussion. John Oliver, chairman of the
memorial committee, read the resolution,
y
with the church.
Unions Discussed
Rev. A. B. Morrison, one of the mem
bers of the committee, spoke with much
emphasis against the idea of allowing
the labor unions to work with the church.
Rev. Robert Mcintyre upheld the labor
unions in. a short but spirited speech,
saying. that he had been connected with
laboring men for many years, and while
he did not uphold the bad he highly
praised the good. The resolution was
adopted.
Bishop Neely read the names of those
who had been transferred from other
conferences as follows: John Hall, St.
Louis; G. G. Skate, Troy; R. B. Will
hyts, Oregon; A. L. Baker, South Dakota:
Bernard Gibbs, Holston; H. H. Weyant.
Kansas.
The bishop formally announced Rev.
e. A. Healy as the dean of the Maclay
College of Theology of the University
of Southern California, authorized preS
viousy at the session.
Presiding Elder Atkinson said that
there was about $4,000 available from diff
ferent sources for the starting of the
college, but stated that it would require
about S2svo more to carry on the project.
A subscription was started and the
amount was raised in a short time.
= Rev. DIR. Healy was called upon, and
made few remarks of thanks for the
favors shown him. The new college will
be ready for work in about two weeks.
