Seven, and possibly eight, new bish-
ops will be elected at the approaching
session Of the Methodist General Con-
ference at Baltimore. Only twice be-
fore has SO large a number been
chosen-in 1872 eight, and In 1904
seven. During the last quadrennium
four of the active bishops have died:
Joyce, McCabe, Fitzgerald and Fow-
Ter. One man chosen bishop at the
last general conference declined to
serve, and as his place was not filled
there now are five vacancies in the
episcopacy. In all probability one or
two of the present bishops will be put
on the retired list next month, and it
is customary to elect an emergency
bishop-hence the prospect for SO
many new bishops.
