Monroe Gets Next Session Meeting For Western NC Conference
After Bishop James Atkins read appointments the Western North Carolina Methodist conference adjourned to meet next year in Monroe. Monroe was chosen as the site for the 1918 session with Asheville having lost the bid for 1917. The gathering approved plans for a $5,000 war fund to aid religious work in army camps and formed a 11‑member lay committee to raise it. Resolutions praised Asheville hospitality and the bishop’s leadership as the conference closed. Appointments for the ensuing year followed the adjournment.
