 Better Education for Ministry
 pr. Stonewall Anderson of the general board of education at Nashville delivered m address to the conference and made plea for the better education of the min istry He said the church is not doing its full duty in this respect. He has been told that college men who are educated for the ministry are not as loyal to the conference itinerary plan as are the mem hers of the rank and file and are not will ing to walk up to the bar and take their appointments to go anywhere. He said he had never known this to be the case, bnt if it is true, the college men must correct the defect The Methodist church, he said, is committed to an educated min istry. The ministers will be more effi- cient when they able to meet the edu- tational test. The times demand an edu- cated ministry and if the Methodist church meets the demand 1t Will proVide an educated ministry.
