require them to have one of their
own men-something they have never
had yet-numbered among the bishops.
Several Who May Be Honored.

filling the bill-Prof. ]. L. Nuelsen of

stood that the German delegates will
choose their standard bearer from this
list, and that the man they select the
general conference will be urged to
elect.
1t is just now likely that the eight
new bishops, aside from the German
list already noted, will be found in
the following list of men who now APP

of the church, taken far and wide, in

the Protestant denominations in this
country, with membership of $780,

half of them laymen. there being in

so of ELECT women" for since the year
1900 women may be sent as delegates
to the general conference.
The cosmopolitan aspects of this
body may be inferred from the fact
that there are 100000 members in the
70 Afro-American conferences in the
south. besides missions in Africa on
the east and west coasts, and in
Rhodesia, where Bishop j. c. Hartzell
and his colored associate, Bishop

things that would disturb me enor-

Question of New Bishops.
The bishops who preside in turn
over this body from day to day are the
center of constant interest. Their
ranks have been thinned by death dur
ing the quadrennium. Bishops Merrill,
Andrews, Fowler, Fitzgerald, Joyce
and McCabe having died. OF the whole
number the venerable Bishop Thomas
Bowman, who has passed the age of
80, and Bishops Foss, Walden, MALTA
lieu and Vincent are on the roll of
honor as men retired from the activi-
ties Of the episcopacy. The others on
the active list, Bishops Warren, Good
sell. Cranston, Moore, Hamilton, Berry,
Spellmeyer Mcdowell, Bashford, Burt,
Wilson and Nicely, are in Baltimore to
occupy the chair as presiding officer,
day by day, in the order indicated
above, which is the order Of seniority
by election.
The missionary bishops differ from
the officers just enumerated in that
their episcopal jurisdiction is limited
TO the specific fields for which they
were chosen-as for example, Bishops
Thoburn, Warne, Oldham and Robin
son, for India and Malaysia; Bishops
Hartzell and Scott, for Africa, and
Bishop M. c. Harris, for Japan and
Korea. The missionary bishops are
not entitled to preside over the gen.
eral conference.
A question now being widely asked
in all parts Of the church under con-
sideration is, who will be chosen for
new bishops?
1t is hardly to be questioned that
at least six new men must be added to
the board of bishops in order to main
tain its efficiency in the taxing work
of administration, at home and abroad.
OF those on the active list, men in
full vigor, too, one is at the age of II
marvelously preserved, and with few
traces Of age upon him; one is almost

that two men be assigned for superin-

told in the fleet of an incident which
happened when Admiral Evans was in
command of the Indiana. An old-time
bluejacket was at the mast before
Capt Evans. charged with getting
food out of q mess chest outside OF
meal hours. This getting of food for
night watches is common and strong
desire on the part of most men aboard
ship.
Capt. Evans asked the man what he
had to say; and the man, sizing up
the delicate situation. said:
Captain, didn't take no food outer
that chest. Why, captain, there
weren't no food in that chest!
looked in that chest. and, captain, |
