Y to convene May 1 and last for four weeks, which will be attended by a couple of Albany people, one as a delegate, is of general interest. This delegated body of over eishl hundred ministers and laymen in equal numbers meets every four years to review the work of the church and to revise and add to its legislation. The General Conference is made up of delegates from the one hundred and thirty-three Annual Conferences, the Annual Conference being the working unit of Methodism. The first General Conference of American Methodism was held in Bal timore, Maryland, in 1792, at which all preachers in full membership of an Annual Conference were eligible. The first delegated General Conference was held in New York City, May 1 22, 1812. At this Conference the first Episcopal address, an utterance which his become of increasing importance, was delivered . This Episcopal ad dress is now accepted as the official declaration of the church on import ant theological, administrative, and social problems. At tie General Con ference held in New York City in 1844, the agitation over slave-holding became so acute as to result in plans for separation between that sec tion of the church in the North and the section in the South. The Metho dist Episcopal church, South, was or ganized in Louisville, Kentucky, May 1, 1845. . Methodism began in America with the arrival of Philip Embury and Barbara Heck, Irish immigrants, who were enthusiastic in the propaganda of their faith. John Wesley, who was the founder of Methodism in England, remained at the head of American 'Methodism until the Revolutionary War severed relationships between England and the United States. All of the- preachers witlr the exception of Francis Asbury returned across the sea, whereupon, September 1, 1784, John Wesley ordained Dr. Thomas Coke to be superintendent or bishop of the Methodist societies of the Unit ed States of America. There arc now twenty bishops and seven missionary bishops serving the Methodist Epis copal church throughout the world. The former are elected by General Conference and located for periods of . four yeacrs each in cities which arc designated Episcopal residences. The latter are elected by General Confer ence for continuous service in specific fields. .The Methodist Episcopal church was organized at Baltimore, Mary land, at the so-called Christmas Con ference, December 24, 1784, to Janu ary 2, 1785 At that time there were 104 preachers and 18,000 communi cants. There are now over 15,000 preachers and 4,033,123 members. In the early days of the Methodist church the salary of a preacher was $64. If married, he received the sim ' ilar amount for his wife, with $16 for each child under six and $22 for each child between six and eleven years. Among the important matters that will come before the General Con ference at Saratoga Springs are the questions concerning organic union '-with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which has been under discus sion with both of these important branches of Methodism for some time; the question whether the church shall elect Bishops for races and lan guages; the election of bishops to take the places of those who have died during the last four years and those who will retire from active service 'automatically by reason of this scs- sion being nearest to their seventy third birthday; the election of editors for the church press, which includes the Methodist Review, the numerous weekly Christian Advocates, the Ep worth Herald, and the Sunday School publications of the church; the elec tion of corresponding secretaries for such church boards as the board of foreign missions, tlic board of home missions and church extension, the Frcedmen's Aid Society, the board of education, the board of Sunday Schools, etc.; the election of publish ing agents of the Methodist Book Concern, ere. MISFITS The name of the Portland Beavers should be changed to Mud Turtles. They should send for Doug Hamil ton to pitch for them. The manner ia which prohibition is affecting Washington is shown in the Pacific Telephone's record at Tacoma Since the first of the year. 35 st.itions were added in January and 34 in Feb ruary. It was thought March would surpass this, the record not yet being made up. Before the company were tearful of the results. Some one says there was more busi ness in Albany twenty years ago than now. Let's see. Twenty years ago the deposits of the First National Bank were $307, 000, with total resources of $324,000. Now they are approximately three times that. Those of the Cusick bank have also increased that much and we have two more banks. Then the post office receipts were between $8,000 and $9,000. Now almost three times as much. These are splendid indications of the business of a city. Things are quiet just now, but isn't it probable that the total business of Handy Electric Radiators For Baby's Comfort The extra heat required for baby's bath when he is being dressed or undressed is most conveniently supplied by an electric radiator.

The best college education is none too good. It means success in life, when backed by judgment. So' far as morals and religion arc concerned, though, it is very doubt ful if it conduces to the advancement of cither. There is a big screw loose in insti tutions of learning that do not seek to build up character as well as In tellect.
