T PASTORS
Receive Their Annual As
signments to Pastorates.
In the administration of the affairs
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, possibly no event has a great
er interest among the members than
the annual appointments of the itin
erant ministry of the church.
The session which closed in Tampa
on Monday was the 72d in the his
tory of Florida Methodism. Like its
predecessors the reports showed a
steady growth of the denomination
in this State; the financial reports
of the nrcsidiner elders showed nlsn
that all the conferences claims had
been met.
The session throughout was mo:;t
profitable both socially and spiritual
ly, and the conference was so well
pleased with the administration of
Bishop Morrison, that it by unani
mous vote asked for his presidency
next year.
There have been many changes in
the pastorates this year, and a num
ber of strong men have been trans
ferred to Florida from other confer
ences. These transfers from other
conferences are: W. A. Cooper, L. M.
Broyles, I. T. Cameron, R. Ira Bar
nett, W. B. Duncan, Jr., J. J. Jones,
H. A. Spencer, Geo. E. Summers, B.
D. Bourn, W. R. Evans.
Transferred from this conference:
T. E. Weaver, to South Carolina; W.
E. Thompson, to Virginia; W. A.
lietts, to South Carolina, and J. W,
Bridges, to South Carolina.
W. !. Allen, a former Putnam
county young man who has made hi
mark in the ministry, and who has
neen serving the past year or two as
an evangelist, was announced as on
the supernumerary list.
Rev. W. M. Poage. who has retired
within the past two weeks as pastor
at iaiatKa, where he served four
years goes to South Jacksonville, and
the pulpit of St. James church the
coming year will be filled by Rev. S.
Grady.
The following is the full list of
m
beg to express their appreciation to
their numerous friends for the enor
mous business given them during the
Christmas time and throughout the
year ; and to
WISH
EVERYBODY
A '
MERRY
