HpHlngsiead'a Plan or Selecting- Those Vho Fall and Others "Who "Make Good" Is Tried Clergy Alert. Rev. W. B. Holllngshead. formerly superintendent of Portland District. Methodist Episcopal Church, repre sentative of the Fifteenth General Con ference District, and widely known as minister in the denomination, lias worked out a card system for checkin fho mirk nf ministers which bids fa! o revolutionize, pastoral appointments by oisnops. . Use of this system, being tried for the first tiniB bv BishOD Smith, In hi FhII conferences throughout the North west is creatng no end of comment not only among the preachers, out it im been taken up by the laymen, as weiu It Is regarded by many as one of tne most -important features Introduced into Methodism within' recent years. Cord for Every parson. It mlsrht well be called a merit sys tem, for its use amounts to the same thing. The simplicity of the plan is on of its chief features. A card, wnic gives, the name of the charge, district conference and name of the pastor, to gether with data lines, to be filled in, comprises the scheme. In this manner, a nresidlne bishop simply obtains set of these cards, distributes them the first day of a conference session to the preachers, with Instruction to fill out and deposit with him. When these cards are returned, th bishop, who is the appointing power in the Methodist Episcopal Cburcft. has all the data necessary upon which to pass his assignments, the lack of the cards Is worke'd out for a period of three years the percentage of benevo lences collected, amounts paid by a par ticular Church to pastoral, district and general work, etc.: and it will thus be plain to the bishop at a glance .whether a given minister in charge of a church Is "making good." Benefit Is Foreseen. , In glancing over his lists of minis- ters, the bishop can see Instantly who have "made good" during the year and by comparison with the year preced ing, whether his percentages have in creased or decreased. If they have In creased, the bishop has a right to feel that the preacher In question has been working hard; that be has his charge in good condition and Is eligible for one of two things return to Ms charge or to a higher grade; In other words, to be promoted. If the preacher, on the contrary, has low percentages; if they do not -equal or exceed his last year's work or that of his predecessor on the charge, it Is reasonable to be lieve that he is incompetent, which Blates him for a smaller and less im portant charge. Bishop Smith, now In the midst oi his Fall conferences, is said to feel that Dr. Hollingshead's new system is going to prove of Immense benefit In many ways. He Is using the plan for the first time and is said to be wel) pleased with It Hearing of It, other bishops throughout the United states have sent for cards and are using them them in making their conference appointments. ministers Set Figuring;.' Many ministers, learning of the new system, have obtained cards and are anxiously figuring up their year's work, to see whether they hare meas ured up to their predecessor's work, or have surpassed It It is argued by many that If the plan Is fully adopted and made a part of the discipline, it will have the effect of creating mors determination on the part of ministers to put their charges on a better plane and to Initiate new work and to push the benevolence collections for mis sions, educational work, etc and to keep all features of the work on high plane' of efficiency. Efforts are to be made to have this system Incorporated In the discipline, the law of the church. This will re quire Its adoption by the General Con ference, which will meet next May In Minneapolis. The Oregon delegation will likely be Instructed to work for this purpose. ' 10-YEAR CRUELTY ALLEGED Mrs. W. Belle Barbour Asks Divorce From Portland Attorney.
