Convenes September 27- Many
y Changes Necessary in
Pastors to be Made

There viii be more changes in
pastors of Methodist churches in

the fact that more pastors have
served their four year limit,
Continuing, Mr.. Baird said the
assignments this year would be
problematical, due to the fact
that in many cases pastors who
have MT served their four-year
limit will have to be changed in
o de, to give way for pastors
who have served their allotted
time.
