The phrase "the Charter Fund," in. the Sixth
Restrictive Rule, was changed to "the Chartered
Fund," which makes no variation in the sense, while
it gives the legal title, as stated .elsewhere in the
Discipline, the full title, according to the charter
granted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, being:



Changbs from 1868 TO 1888. 439

"The Chartered Fuud of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the United States of America."

Another change appeared in the part relating to
extra sessions. Since 1856 it had read, "Or, if there
be no general superintendent, two-thirds of all the
Annual Conferences shall- have power to call," etc.
The editor of the Discipline of 1884 changed "or"
to "but," inserted "shall" and "then," began a new
sentence, and made it read : " But if there shall be
no general superintendent, then two-thirds," etc., and
this part was taken out of the place it had occupied
and brought down to the foot of the paragraph and
the words " such extra session " were added.
A slight change was made in another particular.
