PLAINFIELD, April S.--The fifty
first annual session of the Newark
Methodist Episcopal Conference, which
had been meeting in the First Church
of this city for the past week, came to
an end with the appointment of min
listers to the various charges. AS usual,
there were several susprises when
Bishop Henry Spellmeyer read the list,
but all seemed we'll pleased.
The conference generally completes
but as the General Conference meets
next month there We're a number of
extra matters to consider at this ses-
sion, and the appointments were not
made until last evening. The confer
ence will next assemble in April, 1909,
in Centenary Church, of Newark.
One of the important matters which
came up with the waning of the ses-
sion was the question of amusements,
and although the Laymen's Conference
last week decided, by a large majority,
against any modification of paragraph
PAS of the Book of Discipline, the min
listers, by a big majority, decided to
ask the General Conference for a
change.
The resolution was offered by the
Revs. Charles Sumner Kemble. Thomas
l. Coultas, A. c. McCrea, r. b. Urmy,
f. Meachem, j. L. Hurlbut and George
G.. Vogel If the General Conference
adopts the Newark Conferences recon-
mendation the mandatory rule will be
substituted with an advisory one.
The complete list of appointments is
as follows:
