STAIR RETURNS TO kEAOsHA
Declines to Accept Place on the James
vile District When Friends Hire
Urge His Return New Men at
Bristol, Salem and Paris.

MANY changes IN the paSJOraUeS OF
Methodist churches in Kenosha county
were made on Monday when at the an
nual sessions of the Wisconsin confer
ence in Racine the presiding bishop
made his list Of appointments for the
new year The Rev. Peter f. Stair was
returned as pastor of the Park Avenue
NJ e. church in Kenosha, but his re-
turn to this city was not decided on
until a few minutes before the appoint
ments were read on Monday afternoon
Up to that time he had been slated for
appointment as Superintendent Of the
GAINESVILLE district At the last minute
the urgent demand Of the Kenosha con
gregation that Mr. Stair be returned to
Kenosha found favor with the bishop
and the appointments were changed and
the Rev Perry Miller, former pastor
of the Kenosha church was named as
District Superintendent at GAINESVILLE
and Mr.. Stair returned to his church III
Kenosha. The change in the appoint
ments was decidedly pleasing to the
members of the Kenosha congregation
who had been unanimous for the return
of Mr.. Stair. The Rev. John Sneider,
one of the older members of the con
ference, was named as pastor of the
church at Bristol to succeed the Rev
Andrew Porter who recently declared
his intention of retiring from active
work and who was placed on the list
of superannuates by the present session
of the conference. G.. r. Lawrence, one
of the younger men Of the conference,
was named as pastor Of the church at
Salem, Silver Lake and Wilmot to sue
ceed the Rev. w d. Hamilton who has
been in charge Of these churches. The
change will meet with the approval of
the three congregations. The Rev. T. B.
Brinton was returned as pastor of the
Pleasant Prairie and Wesley churches
The Rev. I'll. P. Huben was again named
as a supply pastor Of the church at
Somers. The Rev. J. r. Schall was
