Much oppoaltion Is expected to arise ever the proposal. At present the l.00f Methodist episcopal ministers scattered over the world are allowed to remain In any pulpit Indefinitely. The new plan, supported by the twenty-four active Blahopo st the confer ence will mean a restriction of the time limit abolished In r0. In favor of the change the blahops have receiv ed these arguments: Reasoaa for Change. "Because some of the churches will not hsve the lees able ministers all the time, and none of the churches will have ths better ministers exclusively; because the prominent pulpits, now held by a few, will be thrown open to younger men." Against the Proposition. ' Against the change these objection were made: That preachera who plan great Work will not ha In apulplt loss enough to accompli eh It; that many great preacnera have MR tne cnurch ass hampered br a time limit: that large congregations cannot be built up from a pulpit where there are frequent changes."

"The greed' for wealth, porta and forms of amusement have taken away from the church, It la useless to deay," he said.
