He and the other five new bishops, along with the five current bishops, received their assignments for the next four years before the conference closed.

"I'm a people person," he said. "I want to be a pastor and I want to meet as many people as I can. "My desire is to forge a sense of partnership with the people. And that word 'part nership' is a chosen word," -he said. Jones had words of praise for Allen, who retires after serving as the conference's only black bishop. "I'm honored to follow him," Jones said. "He's a man with a keen mind and ? very strong spirit. " Jones 58 has been uastor at Northside United Methodist Church Id Atlanta since 1882. He will relocate to Charlotte, which serves as the head quarters for the Western North Carolina conference. The WNC conference stretches from Charlotte west.

"You're better than the best," I said. "What's your secret?" "I'm a Christian," he said. "I try to wash every car as if the Lord owned it." Work, far" from being a curse, is a blessing when viewed in this light. Jesus was a carpenter. For about fifteen years, He knew what it was to earn his bread by the sweat of His brow. And of this we can be certain? His work was the best. He never turned out anything shabby or shoddy. And neither should we. The Living Bible says, "Work hard and carefully at all you do, just as though you were working for the Lord, and not merely for your masters, remembering that it is the Lord Jesus Christ who is going to pay you, giving you your full portioi) of all He owns. He is the One you are really working for. If you don't do your best for Him, He will pay you in a way that you won't like? for He has no special favorites who can get away with shirking," Dr. LeRoy S.
