M..E. church, and there is not] a minister in the church in question, who has more sincere respect for _ ?-the Rishnpg of our church than he has. . He pleads second to no nran_. -r- a"TTrensgye of -reaf-^ appj-cc i a t i u 11 for t.heni ntlrl thn..pUn.ll.l unny-ynrtr" v of" them has done, and which all of Cod and suffering .humanity So, mt . ! ...... shall discuss measurer and conditions for which they are not responsible. ' The Episcopal Committee of our .Gpn'eral Conference has grown to be * menace to "the bdst interests oi our~: church. Men fight for places on that Committee for many reasons. Ap pointments are made and changed hv . the influences that fellow membership ?oh that Conimittec that give to those: of its membqiv who are snLf^nakinp an advantage over their brethren at - home that indices for strife and copfu. Mitr msnops-are numan beings just like y/e are. -In the nature Qf the con ditions that confront us, we have to have >ome missionary districts for Bishops just like we have missionary districts for others. The Bishops? - y&th a 'tTOll. are not, going to thakol districtSr - The whole situation admits of a deal between certain Bishops " "7. an4rson>e^ men ^who^-for their own in- " terests and those of their group, lake advantage of the Rishops^ Juvntved and the circumstances In general, and it- . .so one-qlaps -call* themselves tjye "ins" . - and regard the . other side as being < he "nuts "?However well such a cort^-dition begins, it endF in~ a conflict. In foost cases the Bishon is disresneet ed and he is accused of favoritism and 7?;?other things whiqn slay his influence gnd harms the cause "he represents. ?No?living?Bishop among- ?s? ?- -sponsible for ^the- "District Plan," as we have ij; now. It was an absolute necessity with us in the beglnnlm*. but it has served its purpose. The- _ : l -tran&fei system should T>e more con- " stantly used in our cjiurch today^ than it is now used. Thisl does-, not mean that it should be used as a ' me'ans^f transportingdmd men away I from places in which-ihey-haVeTom- ' ??nlitted?crrmes7 butr as a tncatts 0T7 " blessing fhe church with the services -i ?>? > Bishops are often obligated to men to whom it is not safe to he obligated Our Bjshops cannot do .all that some bf us expect of them under the pres- ! .. ent *dsitrict plan. . As a connection, we have too many presdiing elders. The A. M. E,_. cJiUFCh "does hot need as many presiding elders as we have today. Then, too, we have too ma*ny arvaual cunfer-. ences* According to our membership' we have more annual conferences, ' . and more presiding elders than any other branch vt"the Methodist famtiy<t in ^the wolrd.

The present district plan has grown to be a menace to tha connectional life of -.the church. If --anyone of?our?Bishops haa contrcctional authority at or in a General Conference, itv leaves hi pi just as. soon as the General Confer. /ence adjourns. He is then forced / into his little district, and even tho^ -"urd Nick" is disrupting the church" in another district, he ean do nothing. If he lifts his hand, he is told: "This is my district. Ydu hands off and at know this to be true. The only rem?. ; edy for-this condition is'the rotation of our Bishons. "Lot t,hom appoint . ; -tfrcTTtsetves- to"the ~ 'several con for'. cnCGs'tn the connection. : Xhagrent M. E. church has adopt ed this wise plan long ago, and the time?has conic?for us?tu . adopt?ttr" _ also. If \Ve'do away with the" present district plan, there will be no more need for a Bishopls ticket of delegates to a General" Conference, nor will there be any need for a Presiding Elder's ticket. There will be no more injunctions sought to prevent certain Bishops from holding certain annual ?^onferengesT nor wtH= there be such a :long string f woes against some of our Bishop., at nnoh 1 *&tramT Generat-Coliferences. By the ' piiAenl Ultilficl pfanT the "his" often fight to bring a Bishop back to a given district for-no other reason than ? that they-hftve i>ecn -advaneed to the ieadlrtg places, and fl\ey fear that" a change of Bishops would endanger their, graft and incompetency.
