Being Held at Asbury Park
by EVENING News correspondent.I

10y evening news Correspondent.1
ASBURY PARK, March 1O.-The
eighty-fifth annual session of the
New Jersey Conference, opened here
yesterday morning in the First NJ. l..
church, with Bishop l.. Berry of
Philadelphia, presiding. This confer
ence effects all Methodist churches
south of the Raritan river. The con-
ference opened with the Sacrament
of the Lords supper, Bishop Berry
presiding, assisted by the district
superintendent. Following the Sac
rament the various conference Off
GERS were elected. After the organ
ization of the conference the US
tomary memorial service was held,
in charge of DIR. j. w. Marshall. of
ocean Grove. The memorial address
was given by Rev. +. A. DeMaris,
pastor of the conference church.
According to Bishop Berry, pas
torate changes on an unprecedented
scale will likely be made at this ses-
sion of the conference. These
changes will especially affect the
larger churches of the conference, as
the bishop maintained that in many
cases pastors of larger churches have
been serving the same congregation
for several years and the time is
now ripe for a change.
up to this hour said the Bishop
there has been no arrangement
made between any church and any
member of the conference. so far as
L have been able to learn"
The Bishop declared the old pro-
cess of having churches select their
W pastors was harmful to the
church and should long ago have
been abolished. 1T never was right
for the churches with influence to
dictate to the others and select the
preachers they liked and leave the
others to take what was left" said
Bishop Berry.
The opening sermon of the con-
ference was preached by Rev. E. A.
Robinson of the Epworth church at
Palmyra. He spoke from the theme,
"St. Paul, the Preacher" The SER
mon was especially applicable to the
clergy Referring to the fact that a
man once went to sleep. fell out of
a window and broke his neck, while
Paul was preaching, Rev. Robinson
said: IF the prince of preachers
was not able to keep everybody
awake while he preached, how can
you expect the lesser lights to do

FIRE CALLS TOUT
THE FIRE DEPT.
Blaze at Booster Station Near
Atlantic Last Night Was
Caused by Short Circuit.

tBy Evening News Stan correspondent1
TOTTENVILLE, March 10:-A
fire at the booster station of the
Richmond Light & Railroad Com
pany, near Atlantic station, about
$40 o'clock last night called out
he iremen of Isl engine and 76
hook and ladder to fight the blaze.
The blaze was caused by a short
circuit out al Pleasant Plains COM
ing back to the big transformers at
the booster and burning the fuse
out at that place. The lights on the
entire lower section of the island
we're affected by the fire, the place
being thrown into darkness when
the power was turned off at the
powerhouse at Livingston. While
the transformer was burning the
entire lower section of the island
was illuminated by the flash made
by the electrical display coming
from several large transformers adj
jacent to the one burning. While
this was going on and before the
power was turned off the lights in
stores and residences kept Pickering
back and forth for some time.
The street lights were off for con-
siderable time and did not come on
until after s o'clock. The house
service vas turned on shortly after
the fire was extinguished and re-
pairs made at the point where the
short circuit was discovered. When
the firemen arrived at the scene they
could do nothing other than protect
anything from catching fire nearby.
As soon as the power was turned off
the blaze was e~xtinguished. The
trouble was caused by the wind and
rainstorm that swept over this Sec
ton shortly after 6 o'clock. The
light from the big transformers at
tracted a number of people to the
scene from all sections. There was
a wire down In Bentley street at
the same time and had to be taken
care of by a patrolman until repairs
were made during the storm.
