MINISTERS PLAN
MANY CHANGES
METHODIST CONFERENCE TO
MEET IN SAN DIEGO
BISHOP HUGHES WILL PRESIDE
AT SESSIONS
Superintendent A. w. Atkinson and
S. A. Thomson Serve Time Limit
In Jurisdictions--Othe
Church News

Rev. A. w. Atkinson district super
intendent for Los Angeles, and Rev. S.
A. Thompson, holding the same posi-
ton in the Pasadena district, have
both served the time limit of six years
in their respective districts and will
therefore be changed. Whether these
clergymen will be changed to other
districts or given pastorates is an in
teresting theme of discussion. Dr. j.
L. Pitner, district superintendent OF
the San Diego district, has another
year to serve in that capacity.
One of the changes that is looked
upon as a certainty is that of Rev
Alfred Inwood, pastor of the Boyle
Heights church. Rev. Mr.. Inwood has
already notified his board of trustees
that he will not return and it is ex-
pected that an eastern clergyman will
be called to fill the pastorate.
Bishop Edwin II. Hughes who was
elected to the episcopacy little more
than a year ago, and who has been
made bishop of California, will preside
at the coming conference.
Regret Resignation of Pastor
Although the hearts of the members
of Temple Baptist church are heavy
with sorrow by reason of the lack of
strength and health which compels
Rev. Robert j. Burdette, d. D., to
withdraw from active relations with
the church, there is nevertheless
spirit of loyalty to the church and a
determination to rally around the
splendid organization which the fame
and preaching ability of Or. Burdette
have built up during the past six years
of his pastorate. This determination
to continue the work SO ably
started is the highest compliment that
could be paid to the retiring pastor,
not even second to that kindly tribute
which led the church to ask him to
retain the relation of pastor emeritus.
All departments of the church are pro-
crossing.
