PLAN OF NORTHERN CHURCH IN
D0RSED BY BISHOP HENDRIX,
SENIOR BISHOP OF SOUTHERN
CRUCH.

Saratoga Springs, n. Y. May o.
Physical union OF the NJ s:hodist Epis-
copal churches Of the nIrth and south
may be effected in 1918, or two years
sooner than had been expected, if
resolution introduced in the general
conference is adopted. 1t was referred
to the judiciary committee for a de-
c.sion on its legality.
The proposal was that when this
general conference concludes it's adj
jcurn, not for four years, but to meet
at the call of the board of bishops.
This would permit a session in 1918,
when the conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, is to meet to
act on plan for unifcatiOn. Ordi-
narly this plan would not come be-
fore the general conference until 1920.
