The Indiana conference is one of the strongest in Methodism and its sessions are always looked to by the Methodists of southern Indiana with great interest. The conference embraces all the territory south of the National Road, including the city of Indianapolis. Great interest has been aroused in this session because of the fact that this is the first session of the conference since the centenary of the church at Columbus, O. The distribution of some of the centenary money is sure to create interest. Last year the conference reported 108,49.3 members. The Women’s Foreign Missionary Society will have as their speaker Mrs. Lena Leonard Fisher, and the V\ omen's Home Missionary Societ* the Rev. George R. Grose of DePauw. After the reading of the appointments the conference will adjourn
