The Methodist General Conferences, Just
assembled at Minneapolis, probably to
remain in session until near the end OF
this month, is a quadrenniaI body, and
represents the largest group OF Metho-
dist in the world, viz, the Methodist
Church Of the Northern States. There
will come before II some OF the most
momentous questions which American
Methodism ever faced. They are not
questions Of faith. for no heresy Is In
sight. nor of possible division, for Meth
odism is united and becoming increas-
ingly so. Indeed, one of the minor
questions, because less pressing. that
will come up at Minneapolis is organic
union with some Others Methodist bodies
Probably the six matters that arouse
greatest interest both among Methodists
and those outside OF it are the follow
ing. On many Of them prolonged de-
bates are likely to be had.
l. The election Of new bishops. and
their assignment to various cities
Through death the number is now much
depleted, and several new bishops must
be chosen. Just how many remains TO
be fixed by the conference itself. The
number viii not be fewer than 1--WE or
six, and may be as many as eight or
ten The smaller number is, however,
the more likely one.
the adoption Of the diocesan plan, To-
eating bishop either permanently, after
the manner OF Catholics and others, or
at least between General Conferences,
which would be for four years A great
Increase in number of bishops would be
necessary, and there would be required
readjustment of the duties OF district
Euperintendents. There are many Meth
odists who favor the plan, but few con-
slider it likely Of achievement at this
conference.
g. The restoration OF the pastoral time
limit Methodism began IN early times
in America as the circuit rider church,
and because churches were unable alone
TO support pastors their support was
undertaken by the church as a whole.
They were changed IN assignments or
charges every year, then every two years,
until for a long period the limit was
three years. In 1900, at the General Con-
Terence held in Chicago. the limit was
removed altogether. Now there is a de-

4 The admission of laymen 10 the an
nual conference as full members. At
present laymen have membership in the
General Conference, and women too, al
though the fight TO secure such mem
bership was q long one, and was OBJ
tanned only IN quite recent years. Now
laymen declare the time has come when
they should have seat and voice in the
annual conferences, over which the bish-
OPS preside and at which assignments
Of ministers are made for the year. The
controversy over this question is not,
however, as keen as 1t is over some of
the others.
s. The restriction of unauthorized inan-
cial appeals. Methodism claims to be
distracted almost 70 the point Of revolt
over the great number of demands for
money, some oficial but most OF them
free lances. The claim is made that the
number Of societies doing ofiiclal work
and asking churches for funds is far
too many The criticism does not come
concerning amount of money asked for.
With others Methodlsts are steadily in
creaslng their contributions. The COM
plant is about method.
6. The creation Of a Supreme Court.
Methodism has in its local church, its
district conference, It's quarterly CONFER
ence, and last OF all its General Confer
ence a system OF courts that has, in the
main. worked well and allowed few
cases ever to reach a supreme tribunal,
did one exist. Still. the argument is
made in many quarters that such courts
are needed. Most bodies have them, and
Episcopalians, and Presbyterians. among
others, have-in recent legislative meet
ings perfected and enlarged them.
