one of the important tasks Of the
Thirty first Delegated Quadrennial Gen.
eral Conference of the Methodist Epis-

The new bishops will take the place

The three retiring are Bishop viii
liam +. Mcdowell Of Washington,
Bishop William =. Anderson of Boston
and Bishop Thomas Nicholson of De-
troit.
Altogether there are eight Episcopal

the conference will elect only four or
five new bishops, reducing the number
Of areas requiring episcopal supervision.
The Helena, Mont, area; the Korean
episcopate and the Paris areas are men,
ticned as the three most likely to be
eliminated.

lihood these interstate buses will be
