ONE MINISTERIAL
CHANGE IN NEWARK
Appointments Made Known at
Close of Methodist Confer
ence in M0ntcIair.

After a busy session of the Newark
Annual Conference of the Methodist
Church in Montclair the f1fty-ffth con-
ference closed last night at a late hour,
after the presiding officer, Bishop
Joseph II. Berry. had read the list of
appointments and reappointments for
the coming year. Bishop Berry char
acterized the session as one of the most
important and most beneficial that the
Newark Conference had enjoyed.
Many important questions OF the
church were discussed, and an added
interest was manifest in the recon-
mendations to the General Conference.
since that quadrennial session will
meet in Minneapolis next May. Tive
ministerial and five lay delegates were
elected to the General Conference.
At sessions of both the ministers and
laity several important memorials We're
adopted for consideration at the Gem
eral Conference. Perhaps the most in
teresting of these is the memorial
adopted to the ministerial session yes
terday afternoon striking out any
reference to certain amusements that
now appear in the discipline. It was
voted by the conference to places these
amusement questions under the para
graph on Special Advices."
Oppose Time Limit.
A recommendation to the General
Conference for the restoration of the
ministerial time-limit to three or five
years resulted in a display of oratory,
wit and irony at the session yester-
day, and the ministers finally voted to
make no recommendation. means
tina the majority do not favor the
time-limit.
A purse of $500, raised by the pastors.
and $500 raised by the laity, was pre-
sented to Rev. DR., John A. Gutteridge,
Of Ocean Grove. as a testimonial for
thirty-three years service as the con-
ference statistieian. DR.. Gutteridge, at
his own request, has been placed on the
retired list. The presentation was made
with a few appropriate remarks by
Rev. DR.. William H. Morgan, of en-
tral Church, who comes back TO TINS
city for his sixteenth year.
The auditorium and Sunday school
room of the church at Montclair was
crowded last night to hear the speaker
OF the evening and to listen to the
reading Of the appointments. An in
teresting address was delivered by
william II. Berry. former State treas
urer of Pennsylvania. After Mr.. Ber-
ry had talked for an hour the audience
applauded and insisted that he con
tinue further. 1t was 1890 when Bishop
Berry. after a prayer, began to e
the list of appointments.
There were several changes in the
Newark district, out only one ahange
in the city. Rev. 1. c. Starr, who foT
geVen years was pastor of the Methc-
dist Church at Midland Park, was sent
