METHODIST CHURCH
Proposals To Improve Circuit Work By Telegraph—Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, February 22. Acting on suggestions in reports from commissions throughout the Dominion on the slate of the church, the Methodist conference today adopted a number of resolutions proposing ways in which the effectiveness of the work in the circuits could be increased. Consideration of the reports is not yet complete and other matters In this connexion have still to be discussed. Saying that the New Zealand Alliance was the churches, a deputation from the alliance appealed for wholehearted support in its work. Speakers emphasized that conference resolutions were a waste of time if not supported by the active assistance of the churches. The Rev. H. T. Peal, Upper Hutt, appointed senior chaplain of the Methodist Church Conference, protested against the bolding of week-end military bivouacs when training was carried out un Sunday. Tributes to the work of the Revs. T. A. Bybus, W. Wills, W. J. Oxbrow, A. J. Seamer, W. H. Speer and C. A. Boston, who are retiring from the ministry were paid by delegates, particular reference being made to the services of Mr. Seamer as superintendent of home and Maori missions for about 17 years.
