Methodist women seek traveling ministry denied in conference
The Methodist Conference defeated a bid to include women in the traveling ministry, allowing only local preaching roles and barring annual conferences from women. In India, Miss Sosa Matthew was named national general secretary of the YWCA, succeeding Miss Anne Guthrie, with ceremonies at Isabella Thoburn College, Lucknow, before delegates from across Asia and Africa. Estella Searlie Howard retires as superintendent of the George O. Robinson School in San Juan after a decade of work and prior Southern Rhodesia service. Verr H. Seliff named new superintendent.
