the subject, when it was
ResoIred, That if, III the judgaaeat of the
General Conference, division should be deem
ed advisable, we respectfully, but earnestly
protest against any division by State lines.-
We believe that such division would be pre-
judicial to the cause of Methodsm in Delaware,
and on the Peninsula that it would occasion
differences heretofore happily prevented, and
weaken the influence heretofore welded by the
church through the character and ability Of
our Pastors =
Upon an examination of statistics, we believe
that such division would be unequal and un-
parison between that portion of the Confer
epce in Pennsylvania, and that portion in Del

Res0Ired, That we would respectfully sug-
gest division of the Philadelphia Conference,
through Philadelphia, containing with the Pc
ninsula so much of the city as is embraced in
the South Philadelphia District, running
through Pennsylvania on the line of the Balti-
more Central Railroad
Resolved, That copy of the foregoing be
sent to the Philadelphia Annual Conference, to
be laid before the General Conference for its
serious and prayerful consideration.
The resolutions gave rise to considerable dis
cussion, and variety of opinions were express
ed. The division of the Conference was op-
posed, altogether, by several gentlemen, who
took the ground that it would result in the
transfer of the NJ. i. Church South. The re-
solutions were finally adopted.
There seems to be desire for division,
but the question seems to be, Where shall
the division take place? The lines chiefly spo-
ken of are,-lst, Beginning at the Delaware
river and running through Arch or Market st.
