The Western North Carolina confer
.nce which has been IN session here
,or the past week in Wesley Memo
,jal church came to close Monday
afternoon when Bishop Darlington
read the appointments of the minis
1ers for next conferences year. This
rem of business at an annual confer
cnce is the matter of great import
;,aCe, and the interest this year was
even greater than it has been hereto
ioie because OF the fact that five dis
Ilicts Nhad to have new presiding eld-
ers and several of the leading charges
had to be filed by new pastors. When
The bishop rose to read the appoint
iaeuts there was a stiffness in the
church that was almost painful. There
was not a STIR.
The contrast of the afternoon ses-
sion with that of the morning session
was so great that the conference could
hardly be recognized as the same body
If men. During the morning session
i seemed that the preachers had been
k to I etl year,be saedahrtloye yehtw
laying in store speeches, addresses and
talks for the Whole year, ready to be
aeIased on the last day of conference,
and practically the whole of the morn
ing session was consumed in OratOry.
'Ihe first outbreak Of speech making
was caused by Rev. Frank Siier, pre-
adng elder of the Winston Salem
district, moving that Rev. E. K. Creel
he discontinued without his consent.
This motion raised the temperatures
cf the brethren and all seemed to
have something to say either for or
against the brother being discontinued.
The conference refused to discontinue
Ir. Creel.
New Presiding Elders
As the bishop arose to read the ap
pointments there was stiffness that
is seldom equalied in large body like
the Western North Carolina confer
cnce. The good bishop made reference
to the appointments, stating that he
and the cabinet had done the best
they could; that they had possibly
made some mi takes, but he desired
all TO accept me assignments and go
out to make the new conference year
rae best in tie history of the confer
nee. In the list Of appeintm ents there
were y-sglsz7Eises-a number taaS
had 4ot even -c-1 suTmiSed by the
kitchen cabinet.
