Pastors Named
for Methodists
at Conference
All from Council Bluffs Returned
Save Rev. Frank Caldwell, Who is
Assigned to Sidney. -

All OF the pastors Of the Methodist
churches in Council Bluffs have been re-
turned with the exception OF the Rev.
Frank Caldwell Of Trinity. He has been
transferred to the Sidney church and his
place here filled by the appointment OF Rev.
A. w Harmed, who comes from the CEN
trail part OF the state. Nearly all OF the
clCrgymen returned yesterday from Perry,
Ia. where the conference was held. last
ing more than a week. Bishop Hamilton
and his coadjutors are said TO have ex-
perienced more than usual trouble in MAX
ing the hundreds Of assignments OF the
ministers to the various churches through
out the southern half Of the state. As is
generally the case much dissatisfaction was
expressed by some OF the cergymen over
their assignments. Many requests how
ever. were granted for the return OF pas
tors. when made strongly through the
congrega lions.
An incident OF the conference was the
retirement OF Rev. T. Mex. Stuart, after
fifty years of continuous active pulpit SER
vice. He has reached the age limit when he
may be superannuated and that action was
taken at his request. Mr.. Stuart was pas
tor Of the Broadway church here for sew
eral years and greatly endeared himself to
his congregat ton and the people OF the city
! His son. Attorney d. E. Stuart, leading
lawyer, president OF the Commercial club.
progressive and active in all affairs, is a
permanent acquisition of Council Bluffs,
and as the venerable pastor always looked
upon this city as his home, 1t may be pos
sible that he will again return here and
pass his declining years in closer aseocia-
tion with his SON.
Superannuate relations were also assumed
by A. Thornbue, John Harmed and Rev.
Mr. Fleischer. The conference treasurer re.
ported over $4,000 OF benevolence money
brought to the conference by the ministers
Rev. William Cleworth, the pastor OF the
Creston church during the last year. wa,
