Hubert Noland, ,< conference treasurer, it heard a re- r port on collections and disbursements' for conference purposes during thd yqar. The total collected and disbursed was given as $62,762.16.

A resolution deploring a false impression it said news reports carried by the Associated Press had given of the location of the Rev. M. J. West was passed. The news story said Mr. West had been located, or relieved from connection with the conference, and that officials had refused to give the reason for the I action. Pointing out that the story erron- j eously said Mr. West had been pastor j at Kersihaw, the resolution said ho had actually held the Kershaw charge which includes that part (if Kershaw county south of Cnmden, and had j been located because of his "unsuit- j ability" for the work of an itinerant! Methodist minister. The resolution said his character i bad previously been passed by thei( conference and . that while he was , not now a memfber of the conference, ho retained his resident deacon's standing. In his final address to the confer- j ence, Bishop Candler took his. theme from Christ's call to the disciples. He told the ministers not to allow a hobby to take their time and en-. jergaes. "The disciples," he said, "were sent forth not to urge reform, but1 to proclaim that.the kingdom of God was at hand. The appointments follow* Charleston District: E. L.
