Bishop, ‘Cabinet’ Scan Assignments.

By SEXSON HUMPHREYS

There is one group of eight who sit on the platform at every business session of the Indiana con- | ference of the Methodist Church | here, but who are never to be found | when their addresses are being! made. The conference opened at Roberts Park Methodist Church this morning with an address by Dr. Rollin H. Walker, Delaware. O. |

urging the church to “meet the on- |

siaught of totalitarianism with new methods and new unity among all! branches of Christianity.” The elusive group of eight includes Bickop Titus Lowe, who is| presiding, and his “cabinet” of seven | district superintendents, among! them Dr. William C Hartinger of the Indianapolis District. Between sessions thev go to Bishop Lowe's office in the Hume-Mansur Building, where they are struegling with the appointment of ministers | for the next year. They will fill about 300 pulpits. Each pastor they change requires the shifting of at least one other and usually three or four Ministers at the conference are predicting that if the cabinet works steadily and misses all but the business sessions of the conference, it will, as usual, finish the list of appointments about 4 a. m. Sunday | morning, a verv unministerial day and hour for labor. The list will be read at 4 p. m. Sunday, closing the conference session Dr. Walker, professor emeritus of English Bible at Ohio Wesleyan University, said that “the enemies of Christianity are surprising us with new methods, a new and terrifying solidarity, and a ruthless application of their pagan ideals.

Three of the ministers who died during the year—the Revs. C. C. Bonnell, G. E. Hiller and E. P. Jewett—were former Indianapolis pastors. Tonight's program includes an organ recital by Mrs. Lucile Pritchard Maguire and a temperance drama, “The Prisoner at presented at Roberts Park by members of the Central Avenue MethodChurch Dr. Walker will speak again tomorrow morning and Bishop Lowe will address the candidates for admission ‘as preachers.
