1t is expected that there will

be the most important and inter.

The general conference is ex-
Dected to elect from five to eight |
new bishops. This move is
made necessary through the vast
growth of Methodism in the
Church South and especially in

One Of the best reasons for

hat the church body has grown

But Sally seemed to be devoid of

she spent her money like a lord, more
