Session at Oivego.
Bishop Robert Mclntyre of St.
Paul, Minn., has been appointed to
preside over the annual Wyoming
Conference to be held at the Metho
dist Episcopal church In Owego next
March. The appointment was made
at the recent meeting of the Board
of Bishops held in Washington.
Tho conference will open Wed
nesday, March 29, and adjournment
will probably occur on the following
Monday, April 3. The day preced
ing the convening of the conference,
the young men In the conferenco
studies will be examined by the
board of examiners.
The session of the conference of
1911 will probably be one of tho
most notable in its history. It will
not only mark the sixtieth year of
the conference since It was formed
from tho old Oneida Conference, but
also the fortieth year since the dedi
cation of the Owego church edifice.
.Reports of a most Interesting nature
will be presented of the first year's
work under the four district plan
adopted last Spring at Blng
hamton. It Is expected these re
ports will show a high Water mark
in all departments of conference ac
tivities. Bishop Mclntyre Is recognized as
one of the most eloquent men in the
church, his reputation, both as a
preacher and lecturer having be
come national before his election to
the episcopacy, which occurred at tho
last session of tho general confer
ence at Baltimore in 1908. At the
time of his election he was pastor
of the First Church, Los Angeles,
Cal.
Bishop Mclntyre Is of Scotch birth
his early training was in tho
Presbyterian church. At one period
of his life he was inclined to bo
a skeptic. A most remarkable religi
ous experience, however, prepared
the way for his entry Into tho min
istry. At the time of his election as
bishop It was said of him that he
had never yet found a building to
contain the audiences that flocked to
hear him.
