Special to The Netcs.

Special to The Neps.
Asheville, n. c., Feb. 5-As the
sixteenth quadrennial General Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, draws near, certain
new issues, Or new forms of old is
sues, seem to have superseded the
proposition for a >restatement of the
faith which was the core Of discussion,
the emotional center of the Birming-
ham conference in 1906. The confer
ence will convene here May 4, next.
The general conference is the su-
preme legislative body of church or
ganization that numbers between L.
100000 and 100000 members in the
Southern States; some 10000 church
es, and about $500 travelling preach
ers and 5000. local preachers. The
bishops preside in the order of their
seniority, and have no voice in the
action of the assembly and no part
in it's deliberations.
If one may Judge by its advance
discussion the three overshadowing
issues will be modification of the epis-
capacy, the modification of the pre-
siding eldership and the frightening
of the abolition of the pastorate time
limit
Various restrictions upon the bish-
ops, to prevent the exercise of "arbi-
trary power" have been proposed The
enactment of the recall is one OF
them. A limited instead of life IN
cumbency has been considered. The
advice and consent of the cabinet in
pastoral appointments is another pro
posal.

Will ABOLISH
HAMMER THROW

Portland, Ore, Feb. 5.-That the
big six colleges in the Northwest
athletic conference will abolish the
hammer throw, substituting in its
stead the javelin throw in future
field meets, and that the twO-mile run
will be added to the list of track
events is probable, according to dele
gates in attendance at today's meet
ing of the atheletic representatives Of
the six schools.
Danger to spectators whenever the
16-pound missile is thrown, through
inability of the athelete to control the
direction of the throw, is assigned as
cause for the desire to abolish the
event.

Crisis in the Church.

One prominent churchman has said:
There is a present crisis IN the
church, in regard to the presiding
eldership;' and another: "Mr. Wes-
ley used to carry Methodism in his
arms, and dandle it on his knee, and
feed it from a spoon. But it has
grown to be great giant, and we are
still trying to clothe it with baby trap
pings"
There are proposals to abolish
gether the presiding elders office
others to make it elective. A demt
is voiced for a more demonstrats
form of church government.
What may be called compronl
plan in reference to the presiding
dership is to enlarge the districts and
call the elders, elected by conference
junior bishops This would involve q
senior episcopacy, and the junior epis
copacy would be diocesan in charac
ter.
