Eastern Kansas Conference
Makes Years Assignments.
No Change Made in Methodist
y Churches Here.

There was not a single change made
in the Topeka pastors of the Meth
odist churches at the closing session
of the annual conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church of eastern
Kansas Monday night. The assign
ment of ministers for the year were
announced after the close of the spe
cial service held at the First Methodist
church.
Bishop A. w. Leonard preached the
final sermon of the conference, and
in preaching it took occasion to re-
buke the ministers of the conference
for the seeming lack of vital interest
they have shown in the work of the
church during the past year. Bishop
Leonard took special pains to take
note of the so per cent ministerial at
tendance at the meeting Monday
night. and at one point in his sermon
he remarked on the fact that the rec
ords of some of the churches for the
last year show falling off in mem
bership.
The complete list of assignments as
announced by Bishop Leonard Mon
day night follows:
