Fairfield, Ia, Sept. 12.-Special:
The siXty-eighth session of the Iowa
Annual Conference closed here yes
terday afternoon with the reading of
the appointments. Among the princi-
pal changes in the list of appoint
ments may be noted the selection of
E. j. Shook, for the past seven years
at Willard Street, Ottumwa, as super
intendent of the district.
J. w. Potter of Keokuk was an
nOunced as transferred to the Dakota
Conference where he is to be station
ed at Sioux rails First M. E. church,
While j. M. Brown of that church
comes to the pastorate of the First
M. E. church at Keokuk. DR.. Potter
has served the Conference as it's sec
rotary for the past eight years and for
twenty years has been a we'll known
member of the Conference. Common
datory resolutions were adopted i'm
mediately upon the announcement of
his transfer.
One of the pleasant features of the
last session was the presentation to
ri. N. Smith, who retires from six
years SUPPLEMENTARY of the Ottum-
wa district, of a solid gold watch and
chain. DR.. T. w. Jeffries made the
presentation speech to which DR..
Smith made fitting response.
DR.. c. B. Spencer, editor of the
Central Christian Advocate, was pres
ent both Sunday and Monday and ad-
dressed the Conference Monday
morning
In spite of the downpour of rain
Sunday morning almost 1000 people
made their way to Chautauqua Park
for the morning services. The Love
feast was led by the veteran, II. J..
Myers, and was most ENJOYABLE
service. The sermon was preached
by Bishop Earl Cranston. Bishops
always preach good sermons, but on
this occasion the congregation was
treated to really great sermon and
when on Monday a resolution compli
mentary to the Bishop was passed the
memory of the sermon of the preyi-
Gus day was stimulating enough to
make the rising vote more than
mere formality.
Sunday afternoon at the M. E.
church Bishop Cranston ordained the
following deacons: William ]. Fowl
er, Thomas c. Kennedy, Albert N
Courtney, Warren j. Phillips and Ec
equias Madrigal. Following this, the
Bishop, assisted by the District Sup
erintendents, ordained the following
elders: Rollo J. Fisher, Oscar j. Fix,
Noel A. circuit, Rollin C. Russell and
James Priestnal.
In the evening a large assembly
was present to hear addresses by Or
Ward Plat of the Board of Home
Missions and Church Extension, and
by E. A. Schell on the Epworth
League. A chorus of about fifty
male voices led the singing and under
the direction of Mr.. Hugh Newsom,
rendered THE Holy City" as arrang
ed by Mr.. Newsom.
The next session of the Conference
is to be held at Newton and it is ex
pected that Edwin A. Hughes, d. D.,
LII. D., will be the presiding Bishop.
