MEETING OF KENTUCKY CON-
FERENCE AT HARR0DSBURG

All Bourbon county ministers of
the Methodist church, as well as
many laymen, will go to Harrods-
burg, on September 80, to attend
the one hundred and second annual
Kentucky Conference, which will be
in session there up to and including
September 4. Bishop U. v. w. OAR
llngton, native Kentuckian, and
flor some time a member of the con-
ference, will preside.
This annual Conference is an oc-
casion of the greatest interest to all
members and friends of the Metho-
dist church. The attendance is
large, usually several hundred
From present indications a rather
large number of ministers will be
moved to other charges. Some may
be transferred to other Conferences,
and few may come from other
Conferences to this one. The Ken
lucky Conference takes in all or
part of fifty-nine counties of the
State, lying east of Louisville and
west of the Big Sandy. In this
Conference there are 1872 pastoral
charges, divided into five districts.
The Presiding Elder for this district
is Rev. F. B. Jones, who resides in
Paris. The Presiding Elders as an
advisory committee, assist the Bish-
ops in fixing the appointments of
the preachers for the coming year.
This being the first Conference
session since the meeting of the
General Conference, all boards and
committees for the next four years
must be made up. The Centenary,
the Christian Education Movement
and the Superannuated Endowment
Fund will claim attention.

all about it when he gets home"
was his reply to the disappointed
youngster.
