the Methodist ministry and has gone

Come Feeling Manifest.
The absorbing topic Of the first days
conversation IL whether three Of the
strong and leading appointments Of the
conference, Mason City. Cedar Falls and
Toledo. shall have pastors appointed TO
them from the ranks Of this conference
or whether they shall 90 to other con-
ferences to get their pastors. Toledo
always 10 willing to take pastor from
the home ranks. Mason City IL attempt
Ing to have Rev. NJ. E. Wagner. Of
Saratoga Springs. n. r. appointed to
their church. while II 10 rumored that
Cedar Falls 10 after Rev. W. H. Spence.
Of Fort Dodge. The attitude Of the
bishop regarding these appointments
will largely determine his popularity
here, for many Of the young and brill
liant preachers IT the conference have
waited long and patiently for slight
recognition Of their worth. Nor do
thoy have . warm feeling in their heart
for any church conference that says
by tn action that none. Of the available
men Of the homo conference are good
enough for them.
Last evening . reception was given
tho conference by the local oongrega-
ton Of which Rev. A. L. Cook, - the
popular pastor. The locGl choir and
Cravsn's orchestra rendered most beau
tiful music. Mayor G. F. eimmsrmaiter
rave the address Of we!eeme and
Bishop Bristol spoke IN behalf Of the
conferences.

and intellectual address on the subject
