LITTLE ROCK CHOSEN
Nefhodist Conference by Unanimous
Vote, Chooses Capital City
General Delegates Elected

With Little Rock chosen as tn,
meeting place for the next confer
ence. delegates chosen for the ses
sion of the General Congress which
meets next May at Oklahoma City
and hearing of various reports b!
important committees, forming thu
bulk of the business sessions of the
Methodist Conference yesterday a
Lakeside church, principal interes
for Pine Bluff Methodists now cen
tiers in who will be appointed by Bish
Oh Kilgo to serve the churches mex
year.
The Bishop and his cabinet, com
posed of presiding eleders, have
been throughout the week threshins
out the matter of appointments, an6
iwhile in their keeping is the only
| definite knowledge as to where min.
listers will go, there appears to be g
we'll defined idea as to some of the
Pine Bluff appointments.
There appears to be every reason
to believe that Rev. R. r. Moore
will remain as the pastor of Lake
side church. He is quite popular
minister, and his congregation would
be loath to part with him. He has
done able work at this church and
for that reason it is believed he will
be allowed to enjoy the fruits Of
such.
Option seems to prevail that Rev
]. W. Harrell will not return to the
First Methodist church, and there
have been presistant rumors thai
Rev. James Thomas, who has been
serving at Texarkana, will be placed
there. This Is not a certainty, how
ever, as there have been counter
fumors that he is to go to the Hunter
Memorial church at Little Rock.
AS Rev. ]. r. Sanders has been
tationed at Carr Memorial church
or only one month, 1t is more thar
likely that he will remain there.
During his short tenure of thi'
charge he has made many warm
friends and strong effort has been
made to secure his permanent ap-
ointment. He took this charge on
recount of the illness of the former
pastor.
Wise ones in conference circles
ave 1t that Rev. w. T. Menard, the
lastor of Hawley Memorial, wiz ~
eve an appointment elsewhere, but
lere appears to be no answer as tt
INC will be the pastor of this church
y next year.
a church extension anniversary
ervlce was held last night at Lake
ae The address of the evening was
eilvered by Rev. Lewis, pastor O
y FIRST church of Memphis. Rev
Evils returned last night to Mem
Us to fill his pulpit there today.
