session. Seven young men were re-
ceived on trial as candidates for the
Methodist ministry.
Speaking of the need of better APP
pointments in this conference Bishop
Cranston declared it Is a burning
| shame to ask preacher to serve at
the salaries that many are forced to
accept. He declared that the salar-
les of ministers should be raised so
that the men can properly educate
their children and meet the high cost
of living.
Appointments will be announced to-
morrow morning.
Bishop Talks On Appointments

dress the bishop made his statements
with regard to the difficulties attend

He said. among other things, that the
difficulties would be lessened IL he had
few more fifteen hundred. or even
twelve hundred dollar, appointments,
and if the laymen would only let up
with their demands for certain men.
He urged the preachers to be consid-
crate of one another and all of them
to pray for the cabinet.

utes and their approval, the confer
ence being in executive session, per-
