Conference, which gives equal
representation TO the iaymen
in the Annual Conferences.
The meaning Of this law Is that
for eacn preacher, holding a
charge, their will be a layman
sitting in the Annual Confer
ence.
A hard and nasty fight was
waged by the laymen TO win
this point. But, it is doubtful
whether they had thought the
matter through concluslvely.
Already they have equal rep
resentation in the General!
Conference. which makes the
laws of their church. They
also have equal representation
in the District Conferences Of
the A. NJ. T.. Church. This new
privilege has no special ad-
vantages. On the other hand
it certainly means additional
costs to the church and to the
representatives who must go
to the Conference. Each mem
Der Of the Annual Conference
must pay membership fee OF
three dollars. Then, the regis
tration IS four dollars, and the
lodging will doubtless be set
j ut one or two dollars per day
All Of this the preachers have
had to pay for years. Now the
new lay delegates must either
pay it. or ask their churches te
pay it. In any event it amounts
to new, and unnecessary cost

Zion Fights Too

The A M f.. Zion General
Conference, meeting III W ash
ington. Dc. was not without
its struggles and problems.
Incidentally it had. some years
ago. ordained oiaen, SO that
matter WAS not up for con-
sideratlon. However. they rad
fraught with az much dyna-
mite.
For years it has been the
custom to district a Bishop !
work so as to give each BisEop
some of the largta and rich
churches. as we'll as the poor.
For instance, Bishop III South
Carolina would have some
churches in his state, and some
III New York. While the 9TH
er churches in New York
would 90 to Bishop in an
other weak district. This
would give each Bishop a
chance to preside over both
weak and strong parishes.
A bill on contiguity insisted
that Il Bishop should have all
of his work ia contiguous
areas, and thus save thousands
Of dollars to the denomination
in transportation. The fight
on this bill was long, hot and
bitter. In the end the Bishops
prevailed and the districts re-
main mach as they We're. For
some reason the Bishops III
beth General Conferences held
the whip hand for the first
time in many years. Is this
the result OF TOO mary laymen,
