V.—The Relation of New Ministers.

No Preacher on trial who is now employed in the Australasian and Polynesian Missions or who may hereafter be employed by the Australasian Conference shall at the close of his probation have claim to be admitted into full connexion with the English Conference, but if approved shall be received simply as a member of the Affiliated Australasian Conference, without having any claim upon the English Conference or its connexional funds. This rule shall equally apply to all candidates who may be sent from this country as to those who may be admitted on trial in Australasia, but the case of any senior minister whom it may be deemed desirable to send to Australasia, shall be settled by special arrangement with the English Conference.
