astir with Methodist preachers, wallis
and carpet bag in hand, vending thei
way to the church to hear what was il
store tor them. At 81 O'Clock, the hou
for the opening Of Conference, tn,
church was again crowded almost Il
suffocation. The devotional exercises
were conducted by Bishop Andrews.
Rev. J. b. Quigg offered resolution
providing for the appointment Of 8
&. committee Of preachers and laymen tt
make arrangements for the holding of 9
convention Of the Conference in Dover
in the interests Of the educational insti.
tutions Of the Conference. The rsso.
luton was adopted and the committee
requested were appointed.
| Francis B. Quigley was formally
represented and admitted to the Con
ference on trial.
Rev. W. II. Hutohin offered resolu.
tons Of esteem and confidence in Rev.
D. c. Ridgway and Rev. C. N. Pegg,
the first transferred to the Cincinnati
Conference, and the latter to the New
York East Conference. The resolutions
was unanimously adopted.
Resolutions Of thanks were passed to
the citizens of Dover for their hospitali-
ty, the railroad companies for reduc-
ton of fare, the janitor for his atten tion,
and to Rsv. W. B. Walton fer his able
missionary sermon.
The business Of the Conference being
ended, Bishop Andrews made a few re-
marks preliminary to the reading Of
the appointments. He supposed that
there we're many disappointed, but that
could not be helped. The reason why
so many were disappointed and why the
Bishops and Elders sometimes failed in
giving satisfaction was because six
churches very often wanted the same
preacher and six preachers very often
wanted the same church. He thought
that it was very peculiar indeed
that SO many ministers felt that they
had a divine call to serve the same
church.
He administered a well merited re
buke to a certain species of untruthful-
ness and double dealing on the part of
laymen and ministers in trying to Sc
cure appointments. These he said could |
only appreciate the troub les of the
Bishop by being placed in the same po-
sitioH.
He exhorted all the ministers to go
cheerfully to their appointments and
labor diligently in building up the
kingdom of God, and then they would
return to the next Conference bringing
their sheaves with them.
The folloEing appointments were
then made:
