18 NEWS OF PULPIT AND PEW IN HARRISBURG FEW M.E. CHANGES EXPECTED HERE Plans Completed For Annual Conference to Be Held at Altoona Of interest to the thousands of Methodist readers of the Harrisburg j Telegraph is the coming session of the Central Pennsylvania Conference j which convenes in the Eighth Avenue! Methodist Episcopal Church, Altoona, j -March IS, 1916. Bishop Earl Cran- ( ston, D. D.. EL. D., of Washington, D., C., will preside. This will be his last j presidency of this conference, as it is llie year of his retirement which takes; place in May. Previous to the confer- j ence he will meet his cabinet, compos it of Hie loliowing district, supermten uents: A. S. Fusick, Emory -\l. Stev- j wis, S. B. Evans, J. L>. Stein and H. L. 1 Jacobs, on March 3, in the Grace j Methodist Episcopal Church, Harris-! iiurg. At this meeting probable 1 lianges of appointments will be con sidered. Vhe Rev. Wiiford P. Shriller will be Die conference host. With the assist-, ance of a large committee of minis- i i ars and laymen he is arranging for 1 the entertainment of the three liun- j tired and twenty-live members of the conference and visitors. A strong program is being arranged, including anniversaries of the different societies j of the church, when strong speakers «ho are specialties in these various ilelds of activity w r ill present the in- ! lerests of these causes. A period of relaxation from the strenuous mental activities of the week will be afforded on Friday night, when a musical en tertainment will be given in the high school auditorium by the Miller sisters of Erie. These young ladies have won lame as musicians, playing upon the harp, violin and cello, and a great ireut is promised. Altoona is a city uf churches and on Sunday visiting pastors will occupy the pulpits of the various city churches. Uisnop Cran ston will preach in the church in which the sessions are held. Big Banquet Planned A new departure in the social activi ties of the conference week is the federation of the Alumni Association for an interscholastic banquet to be held Friday evening. The Jlev. J. H. Price representing Dickinson College. ' the Rev. H. W. Hartsock, representing Theological institutions, aud the Uev. G. A. Duvall, representing Dick inson Seminary, are arranging an able I't-ogram and an attractive menu for i lie occasion. It is estimated that over ihree hundred persons will attend this festive occasion. Much Interest is manifested in the conference annuity fund. The Rev. i'. W. Karns of Carlisle, has been in the lield as the secretary of this cause which has to do with providing pen sions for retiring ministers, and it is anticipated that he will be able to report nearly twenty thousand dollars in cash, in addition to many thousands that have been given in legacies. This will increase to a considerable extent, ihe income of the retired ministers next year. The ministers themselves, will likely place on the altars of the < hurch at this conference the sum of ten thousand dollars. Secretary Karns will likely lead all the conferences in -Methodism in raising money for this fund this year. A movement looking towards the increase of membership of the Mu tual Beneficial Association is contem plated by the management. In this tssociation each member pays live ilollars upon the death of a member, to his wife or heirs, a sum that appro ximates SI,OOO. The death rate in the 1 onference during the present year • lias been very low. Few Changes Expected It is too early yet to predict the ■ lianges which may take place in the onference. It is the policy of Bishop 'ranston to send back every person ; he can to his present charge. Very few hanges are anticipated in or near Harrisburg. Perhaps there may be none. But two changes were made last year in the city when Dr. E. A. Hyles came to Fifth Street, and the , Rev. W. W. Hartman came to Ridge Avenue. Three constitutional changes will be voted upon at this conference, one of which will deal with the problem of bishops for races and languages. In all probability it will be defeated. From each congregation one lay man, and a reserve have been elected 10 the lay electoral conference which convenes on Friday to elect lay dele gates to the general conference which meets at Saratoga Springs in May. Six lay delegates will be selected. Several persons have been spoken of for the position. Up to the present time, but (ine layman has been suggested from the Harrisburg district as a candidate. The Camp Hill quarterly conference has presented the name of E. O. Par ■ loe as a properly qualified representa tive. Other names from the city < hurehes may be presented. From other conferences districts are men tioned the names of Harry Hutchin son. T. H. Murray. C. C. Shuey and W. r.. Woodcock of the Altoona district; G. Hutchinson, R. A. Zentmire and W. A. Bouse, of the Juniata district, and H. T. Ames of the Williamsport district. Doubtless many other names will be presented in the next four weeks. Keen interest is manifested in the ministerial delegation, six of whom will be elected. So far the confer ences have been electing a large per centage of men who have not attend ed the general conference, and who will be new members of that governing body of Methodism. It is also true I hat a large number of these have come from the pastorate, and not from the presidency of institutions of learning, and the district superinten dency. The same tendency seems to be manifested in relation to the Cen tral Pennsylvania Conference. But few of the district superintendents arc spoken of, the names of Dr. A. S. Fa sick and Dr. E. M. Stevens being much mentioned. The names of Dr. J. H. Morgan, the Rev. C. W. Karns, Dr. W. P. Shriner, the Rev. J. H. Souser, Dr. Morris E. Swartz, are receiving consideration, while there are several Harrisburg ministers whose qualifica tions recommend them highly for the honored position, should they consent to present their names. ;■ Evangelistic Services ;! f at the j ■I Fourth St Church of God j; •I Dr. William X.

DERRY PASTOR TOCOMETOH'B'G Assistant lo Market Square Divine Preaches Farewell Sermon Tomorrow REV. GEORGE S. RENTZ Hershey, Pa., Feb. 26. —The Ttev. 1 George Suavely Rentz, pastor of Derry Presbyterian church, will, preach his farewell sermon to-morrow, lie leaves March 1 to accept the invitation of the Market Square Presbyterian Church, Harrisourg. to serve as assistant to Dr. George Edward Hawes. The Rev. George S. Rentz was horn in Lebanon in 188", the son of the Rev. William F. Rentz. of tlie Gen eral Synod Church. After spending his boyhood in Atchison, Kansas, lie, attended high school in Lebanon and Poltsville and graduated from Get tysburg College in 1903. He was prin cipal of the Mifflinburg school from 1904 to 1906, when he went to the Theological Seminary at Princeton. Having graduated, he was assistant pastor at South Park Church, .New ark, one year, and pastor of Robert Kennedy Memorial Church, Welsh Run, Pa., two and one-half years. He came to t lie Derry Presbyterian Church in March, 1913. Derry Church has an interesting his tory dating back to 1724, when the calvinists, George Gillespie, David Evans and Robert Cross, preached to the men of the countryside in the grove of oaks near the site of the present edifice. The first church was (erected near the head of Spring creek. In 1729 the second church was built, and in 1769 the church known to the previous generation as "Old Derry" was founded. This log build ing remained until 1883. A year later the present church was begun. Here is still preserved the old pewter com munion service of great historic in terest and beauty. For many years the Derry and the Paxton churches had joint pastors and not until the present decade has the attempt been made to develop the Derry Church as a separate charge. The Rev. George S. Rentz lias done splendid work in the upbuilding of the church. Under his ministry the mem bership has doubled, there has been an encouraging increase in the Sun day school, and all the departments have prospered. Mr. Rentz has made many friends by his pleasing per sonality and he has been congratulat ed upon earning a broader field. At the Market Square church he will de vote much of his time to developing the work of the Sunday school.
