METHODIST MINISTERS DISCUSS 4-YEAR TERMS Churoh to bo Constituted. rritnlllT* Baptiar church will h* con stituted si tb* old- Brae* tn**tlng house, rnrii*r ltnul*rard and llnuston-st*.. nn WMlweday. at M a. m. Elder* W. II. Smith and 8. H. Whatley sr* expected to h* present tn preach and nlflclnt*. The question of the abolishment of the present four years’ term In the Methodist Episcopal Church South was the subject up for discussion before the meeting uf the ministers of that de nomination at Trinity church house on Monday morning and greater Interest waa manifested than at any meeting for a long time. Rev. Dr. W. T. Hun- nlcutt, of I-avne Atemorlal church, con tended for the abolishment of the time limit, while Rev. Dr. R. F. Eakes. of Wesley Memorial church, argued In fa vor of a continuation of the present itinerant sysiem. With the conclusion of the arguments followed by a general discussion a vote was taken and of the eighteen voting nine favored abolishing the time limit and nine the continuation of the pres ent plan as presented by Dr. Enkqp,. Dr. J. T. Daves, presiding elder of the district, who also presided over the meeting, was asked to decide the con test. He refused to do so, but admitted that he favored abolishing the four years' time limit. There are over 17.000 communicant* of the Methodist Church South In the Atlanta district alone, this being the largest In Southern Methodism In point of numbers and in many other ways. It was sdniltted by several of the speak ers that that laity were greatly Inter ested in this matter, and even Dr. Eakes. contending for the Itinerant method, stated that some 95 per cent of the Atethodlsts with whom he talked were In favor of abolishing the limit, as It was done some six years ago In the Northern Methodist church. Able Arguments Heard. Many and able were the arguments advanced on both aides, the one con tending that this limit was hurting the progress of church work and the other Insisting that the itinerant method was responsible for moat of the great good tlfat had been accomplished, ' Rev. Dr. M. J. Cofer !h the dlsqus- alqp urged doing away with the time limit. Pastors, he said, were only ap pointed for one year, anyway, and If there was need for a change this pro vided the means. Rev. H. C. Christian. St. Johns Church, favored the present plan. Rev. M. L. Troutman. Pe.rk-st. church, said: ’’Conditions have changed and we must change or be hurt by out- of-date method*. We are working un. der an anachronism. It Is a crime against the preacher and the church to remove him simply because of a time limit. Rev. R. H. Robb and Rev. Dickerson Moore both favored the present Itiner ant plan. Dr. Hunleutt said ‘among other things: "I candidly believe that- the time limit should be Rbollshed. altho not In any way to Interfere with the present appointive powers of Ih# church. It seems to me the limit works an untold hardship on Methodist min Isters. No matter how good the work he Is doing, no matter how much he love* his people or Is loved by them, when the clock strikes he must move. I do not think thet th* grest work accomplished by Methodism waa ever due to tho Itinerant system.” Dr. Eakes. having stated that he had the reputation of being so orthodox as to be sway-bark, then said In part: ’’It seems to me we have -done pretty well under this system. We started out moving every *1* months, but In 1868 the limit was placed at four years. I think the success Is sufficient leaving well enough alone. No other church, as a whole, measures up to our church machinery.” How Will Governor Prison Commission Get Along Together? With Governor Smith mithorind to ap prove •very xct of the prtxon rormniiiion, which involve! fhe leasing or buying of farms [or equipment, and in disposing of sny I'‘overs." sn interesting sit nation is present- led in the state penitentiary department, j Altho the new convict law does not make Governor .Smith an ex ofdelo member of the i hoard, the commission cannot do anything and j everything, as in the past,- without the *p- prnval Of tho governor, i This festure is what makes the interesting 1 <itustion. ‘The governor's Arm *tand on the 1 convict questtnir, snd his insistent demand for ! the termination of convict leasing in Georgia, ha* not put him in high favor with the mem bers of the commission. , , . t ' , It is known that Governor Smith will novel consent to the leasing of any "overs by the prison commission until it Is proven to his hack teeth that auch action is absolutely a«Mtawy. and already thera are rumors of some action liy the prison commission which alii relieve it of the necessity of acting with the governor sod seeking nil approval of, actions. • It is known that Governor Smith is Invest! gating the feasibility of making arrangements for the securing of a farm and some con victs so that a crop may be started befdrs April 1. next year, when the convicts art turned in by leasee*. If the stats waits until that time to begin a crop there will he no crop and the governor is anxious to have th* farm started in .Tanuar- Ht may seoure some convicts from the state farm and it is poseibla that he may secure some 'over* which formerly went to ,W.-B. Hamby and •But whatever is done, the fact that the governor must approve important actions of the prison commission when that body is composed as it is, makes the situation inter esting. , CONFESSES FORGER!
