 The plan now is to complete the work of the conference at noon Mon day. Bishop Murrah has been hold ing daily conferences in his cabinet of presiding elders and will an- nounce the appointment of ministers for the new conference year at close of the final session. This list all ways attracts the attention of the ministers at each conference because they do not know what work will be assigned to them until the bishop reads the list from the chair.
