GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1921 Methodist Conference Will be Held In New Bern Wednesday First General Session of North Carolina Organization Begins Then Historical Meeting Tuesday Night Many Changes of the Preachers Likely Bishop Rounding Out Four YeSrs. By T. A. BIKES. The city of New Hern will ba the Mecca (or the Methodlat of eastern North Carolina this- week, and more than 400 preachers and lay delegates and vlaltora from all over that aectlon of the atata will aweep down on the city the metropolis of the central east ern section of the Mate. The first gen eral (teuton of the conference will be held November 16. The occasion for tho Invasion of the hosts of tha fol lowers of Wesley will be the as sembling there of the North Carolina conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, In Its 86th annual gath ering. . For the past month tha Rev. II. A. Humble, who Is to he the pastor-host, and his fine array of committees have been busily engaged In preparing for tha coming, of their gueats, and they now send out word, "Come one, come all." The members of this religious body are always eager for the time to come when they arc to be entertained In tha city at the confluence of the Neuae and Trent. The eight previous entertainments In that city have been with ' auch open-hearted hospitality that all are champing on their bita for the signal to go and by next Wednes day morning at o'cfoclt the largest -number of Methodists to ever assemble in that city In a body will be there to he present at the opening session, which will be presided over by Bishop U. V. W. Darlington, of Huntington, W. Vs., this being his fourth consecu tive session' of the conference over which he ban presided. BlslW Pounds Oat Four Years. No other bishop has ever presided over the conference that often In as many years. Bishop Darlington came to this conference at Qoldsboro In the fall of Wit for the first time and he has been with It at each annual ses sion since, but this will likely be his last time for at least four years, aa It ia taoitly underatood that tha bishops will not preside over the same episco pal district for more than one quad rennium at a time. Bishop Darlington is a favorite with the North Carolina conference. He has greatly endeared himself to them by his brotherly spirit and kindly treatment of all the peo ple. His appointments have met with approval, his preaching has been of a high order and his visitations have been Inspiring to both preachers and laymen alike. He will receive a royal welcome at New Bern this week. The flmt session of the North Caro lina conference was held In the city of Greensboro in January, 1838, and Bishop T. A. Morris was the presiding officer, with He Hezeklah O. Leigh, who was at that time one of the lead ing ministers of the country, as sec retary. The statistical report at that time showed that there were 15,062 whlta members, Including officers and teachers. From this small beginning 89 years ago Methodism has grown till today there are more than 226.000 bona fide church members with a Sun day aohool enrollment of over 200,000 owning some of the finest church and parsonage property In tha state. The churoh Is also owner of 10 colleges and high schools where the young men and women are trained for the duties and responsibilities of life. Other Meeting at New Ben. ' ' Tha North Carolina conference has held several sessions of Its annual gatherings In New Bern. The first meeting In that city was In 1840, then 18, 1868, 1869, 1888, and In 1800. At these aesslons Bishops Morris, Kava naugh, Doggett, Oranbery, Morrison and Galloway presided respectively. eJormorrows breakfast IF you arc not using "Queen" Blend' Coffee, get a package to day.

The mother conference la muoh larger to day than she was before the daughter loft home and at tha same time the younger conference has outdistanced the older one In point of members. At the last session of the conference held n New Bern Bishop Charles B, Oallo- way presided and read tha appoint ments on Sunday night, and It la hoped by many that Bishop Darlington will be able to do tha same thing this time. . The North Carolina oonferenca em braces all that part of the state of North Carolina east of Rockingham, Guilford, Randolph, Stanly and Anson county lines and Is composed of 138 clerical and 100,803 lay members. There s scarcely a wayside place In all that great territory where a Methodist hurch is not in easy reach of any who wishes to attend upon divine services. The church Is well fortified In the larger cities, In many of them It being the leading religious denomination. - A memorial service will be held on Sunday afternoon at a special session of the conference when the brethren who have fallen during the year will be remembered by memoirs being read of their Ufa and work and ad dresses of appreciation of what they did forhumanlty will be made. Three have died alnce last conference, Reva. T. P. Bonner. C. W. Robinson and R. Craven. The two first had retired from the active ministry. The latter was the popular pastor of tha church at Oxford when he died. Plaa Kor Group Insurance. Matters of more than ordinary In terest will be up for consideration by the conference next week. One Item of Interest that will likely receive con siderable attention Is the matter of group Insurance. This has been agi tated considerably during the year, and many believe that tha time haa come when tha church should take a forward step toward taking cars of the old ministers and the wldowa and or phans of the fallen soldiers of the cross. Many of the leading business concerns have Insured their employes in a group, and it Is argued by thoae who are leading In thla movement that the church ahould provide for those who hava tolled at Us tanks as well as large business enterprises. The proposition that will be presented to the oonferenca for Ita consideration la to Insure every preacher In the sum of 83,000 and that the premiums are to be paid through tha regular budget of tha church. At this session delegates to tha gen eral conference whloh meets In Hot Springs. Ark., next May, will be elected. The conference la entitled, to six clerical and six lay delegateaand la a place that la' coveted by ministers and hmen"lrkarfnt "tile" election it New Bern will create a great deal of In terest Tha general conference la the law-making body of tha Southern Methodist church, and It la the custom of each annual conference to send Its strongest men to that oonferenca. A committee on memorials to the general conference will be appointed at the opening of conference and thev win consider suggestions aa to new laws ana changes in the old, and will report their Judgment to the opening conference, one matter that will In all probability coma up tor asnroval ana recommendation la that of chanc ing the nama of tha Methodist Episco pal, cnurch, south, to "The Methodist church." This will possibly provoke some lively discussion on the confer ence floor. The North Carolina oonferenca Is eonsldered ona of tha most conserva tive In tha connection and anythlna that would make very much change in tha established rules or lawa will not hava aa smooth sailing aa In some of the other conferences. This conference is usually satisfied to transact the business of tha conference, get tha appointments ana go home. Mnny Changes Probable. Tha Indications are that there will be an 1 unusually large number of changea In the pastorates. In looking over the Journal for last conference It Is found that 19 pastors and one pre siding elder have served their tuU four years In tha charges they are now serving and that one preacher. Rev. W. R, Royal, la serving his fifth year at Sanford. In all probability these will be sent to a new field of labor for the Incoming year. It Is not probable that these 20 men can be so located aa not to necessitate other moves In order to get the proper adjustments In tha vari ous works. In addition to these, Rocky Mount, one of the leading charges of the con ference, Is open because of the fact that early In the year Rev. 3. F. B. Bates, tha pastor, returned to the west. Rev, J. M. prmond, who has had a wonder fully successful pastorate at Elisabeth City during the past four years, has been called to a professorship In South ern university, Dallas, Texas, hence that charge will have to have a new man. riev. K. c. Craven, who waa serving his third year at Oxford, died during tha year and that fins congre gation la to ba supplied with a new preacher. It la reported that Rev. O Stanly Frailer, who has successfully led the Fifth Avenue Methodist of Wilmington during the past year, haa heard tha call back to Georgia, ao another new man may have to be sen to serve that growing and attractive congregation. Rev. J, R. Moose, who served Wallaa- Rose Hill for the past two years, has returned to his first love, Korea, and that charge must be supplied. All of these things seem to work toward the moving or many preachers at this ses sion of conference, and, so many of tha leading charges having to be served without the help of a man to exchange from one to another. It Is be lieved will make the placing of 'he men for another year a great deal more difficult. In connection with the ap pointments. Chapel Hill, which haa been very efficiently served during the past four yeara by Rev. B. H. McWhor ter, will receive a new preacher for next year. This Is one of the most Important charges In the whole confer ence and will be more difficult to snrve during the next quadrennlum than ever aa a new church building has been en- terprlsed and It la hoped to be nhle during the next few months to hegin worn on tne new eairica; Both nut- conferences In the state are behind the Chapel Hill movement and the new preacher over there will be expected to visit In both conterencea and lay tha new enterprise before the Method ist of the state, and also the alumni pf tha university. Trinity Alumni Banquet, One interesting and enjoyable fea ture of eaoh conference session for the past several years Is the annual ban quet of the old students and friends of Trinity college. This has become an event looked forward to from year I to year when the boyi can get to gether and rehash old experiences and plan for a bigger and better Trinity. A new feature for thla year will be Introduced by Rev. C. B. Culbreth, I president of the North Carolina Confer ence Alumni association. He asks the association of tha Weatern N'or'h Caro lina Conference to send a fraternal messenger to tha meeting at New Bern, and that association named Kev. A W. I'iyler, editor of the Advocate, an old student and a former too'. ball star, aa Its messongor to tha sister associa tion of the east, and ha will tell the North Carolina conference boys how It is (lone up In the waet. This meeting will likely be held on Friday afternoon of conference. A number of speeches will ba mads by prominent men of tha state. It has been the custom (or the past two or three years for the conference Why, This Cake Is Better We say this cake is better. In fact we claim that no where can you get one that is finer.
