STORY OF THE
DEATH OF JOHN PAJOMAN
The Lord saw fit to take away from
us our dearly beloved brother John.
Words cannot express how badly we

WAR MAY CHANGE METHODISTS*
ORGANIZATION IN EUROPE
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Ma>
10.—A proposition will be considered
by the Quadrennial Methodist Confer
ence now in session here to change
the method of Episcopal oversight in
Africa to save money and time.
The bishop for Southern Europe if
there is one, may be made bishop for
Africa also.
The war hits made a dividing line in
Europe for Methodism as well as
other communions. At present the
only Methodist bishop for the Conti
nent is the Rev. Dr. John L. Nuelson,
whose oflicial residence is at Zurich,
Switzerland.
Other bishop’s timber at home may |
be the Rev. Dr. William F. Oldham
and the Rev. Dr. Frank Mason North,
both secretaries of the Board of
Foreign Missions in New York; the
Rev. Dr. Herbert Welch, of Ohio
j Wesleyan University; the Rev. A. W.
Leonard, Seattle, Wash.; the Rev. Dr.
C. E. Locke, of Los Angeles, and the
Rev. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of
Topeka, Kan., secretary of the
Methodist Temperance Board.
The two bishops at home who auto
matically retire at Saratoga because
of their ages are Bishop Earl Cran
ton, of Washington, D. C., and Bishop
John W. Hamilton, of Boston.
The Methodist law is that bishops
must be retired at the conference
nearest their seventieth birthday.
Bishop Cranston just missed retire
ment at Minneapolis.
Missionary bishops who will retire
are Bishop Merriman C. Harris, of
| Japan and Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell
of Africa.
