SUNDAY AT RYLAND,
The Presiding Elder on the Ground-
Prospects of Peace.

Ryland Chapel, in South Washington,
was the Mecca toward which many pious Meth
odist wended his way yesterday, and both morn
ing and evening services were participated in by
as large congregations as were ever seen in the
church. DR.. Deale oficiated in the morning, and
at night Rev. B. Peyton Brown, the presiding elder
cfthis District, preached eloquent and instruc-
tive sermon, taking for his text the fifth
verse, third chapter of Second Thessa-
lonians: "The Lord direct your paths"
Contrary to general expectations, no al
fusion was made to the existing difficulty in the
church, the speaker evidently not caring to han
Ole the subject on Sunday. 1t was observed yes
terday that nearly all the old members of the
congregation were in their seats, and the opinion
prevailed that in the course of week the present
difficulty could be satisfactorily adjusted Thus
far but two members have applied forand received
letters of Observation-Disclosures W. J. Murtagh and
DR.. Wright, his brother-in-law. A meeting of the
Sunday school teachers was held yesterday to
choose superintendent in place of Mr.. Murtagh,
but 10 choice could be agreed upon, and Mr.
L. D.. Harmon, the assistant superintendent, was
instructed TO fill the Office until other action was
taken. Under the rules of the conference min
lister is compelled 10 go where he is assigned, and
even If Dr.. Deale desired to withdraw from his
present charge he could not do SO unless ordered
by the bishop Of his district. He moved into the
