CHANGE IT
Methodists Adopt New Man
ner of Government
Within the last few veart the work
of the Methodist Episcopal church In
Alaska hu been placed upon a new
\wting. There are three stages of
organization of the work in any partic
ular section of the country. When
any tection it isolated and yet of suffi
cient itniwrtance to receive independent
admistration. it it tint organized into a
minion. To this work men are ap
pointed who hold their membership in
tome fully organized work. The next
?tep in organization is the. Mission
Conference, and the highest is the
Annual Conference. These Annual
Conferences only are entitled to tend
delegates jto the General Conference,
which meets every fourth year in the
month of May, ?nd is the excutive body
of the church, electing the bishops and
other officers of the church, and ar
ranging for the government.
Before :904 the Alaskan Missionary
work of the Methodiit Episcopal church
wti administered from the seat of the
Puget Sound Annual Conference. In
July, 1904 Bishop J. VV. Hamilton or- ;
ganuad at Juneau the woik of Alaska i
into the Alaska Mission of the Metho
dist Episcopal church. At that time :
there was one Missionary Society that j
hau ehtrge of all of the missionary ;
work both home and foreign, in 1P0?>!
the Rev. A. B. Leonard. D. D.,corre-j
tponding secretary and chief executive
officer of the Missionary Society visited
Alaska 10 company with Bishop D. H.
Moore. At thatt ime also the^Board of j
Church "Extension promoted by loans !
and gifts the erection of churches.
By order of the General Conference!
of 1^ a re-division of the benevolent
work went into effect Jac. t, 1007. By 1
the new order, the Bo ird of Foreign j
Missions, of Dr. Leonard hat been re- i
tained as corresponding secretary, has
charge of all foreign missionary work. '
The home missionary work and the j
work of aiding in the building of
churches has been united, and the Uev.
James M. King. D. L> , elected as corre
sponding secretary and chief executive
officer of the Board of Home Missions
and Church Extension, with offices in
Philadelphia.
It it now very probable that to Juue
of thia year Dr. Kin? 'in compaay with
Bishop Moore will vitit all the mission
pointa in Alatka. The usual annual
meeting of the Mission will not be held,
but instead all the charges will be
personally visited, and Skagway among
other places will have an opportunity cf
meeting and probably hearing both of
these prominent divines.
