THE FEELING AT RYLANp CHAPEL.
The appointments made to the Washington
churches at the close OF the session of the Bal
tmore annual conference at Martinsburg,
West Virginia, are in some Instances not we'll
received. From all accounts there were
number OF states made and broken, and there
was quite an animated contest to secure GER
tain preachers for particular churches. The
arrangements for the transfer of DR., John
LanahaD, Qor three years past OF the Foun-
dry TO Baltimore, was carried out much to the
regret OF many friends here. and Rev, w. r
Ward comes to fill bis place. Rev. Mr.. Ward
Is middie-aged man with a fine record as
Foundry people will be pleased with him
;ReE. W: l. Mckinney, who has served at Mt.
zion and Hamline for the past six years. goes

The appointment OF Rev. w. G. Deale twho
mas served at Waugh and Wesley to Ryland
SShapei does not appear to be entirely accepta-
than probable that he Will exchange with some
other minister. 1t was known that DR.. Deale
was down for this appointment some months
made objection, not because of any personal
feeling against him, however,) and asked
that Rev. MI. Gardeners place be filled

man. During the proceedings Of the Confer

Is but just to DR.. Deale, who is Wen known
here. to say that the appointment to RyIand
was not OF MS seeking; that he was aware that
the people there preferred another and he was
expecting to be sent to some other church.
Personally, DR.. Deale Is respected by the PEG.
pie Of South Washington, but Ryiand chapel
OF South Washington, being entirely free
with rent free, they claim that there should be
some respect paid to their wishes, and that
they should have young, active minister. 1t
Is said that should Dr.. Deale's appointment
stand. considerable portion of the member
and the d1safrection is said to have even
reached the Sunday school. AS yet DR.. Deale
has not moved to the parsonage of Ryland and
it Is PROBABLE ne will not do so until the Bishop
Is heard from, it being understood that Bishop
simpson has been made acquainted with the
facts.
Some OF the members of Hamline are slightly
olSsallsned IN consequence OF the failure to Sc
cure Rev. Mr.. Poulson- but Rev. b. NJ. Hartseck,
who earned fine reputation as minister when
stationed at Union, will doubtless prove accept
Rev. Mr.. Gardner's appointment at Mt. Zion

pointed to Memorial church, on street north
east, now connected with Mckendree was at
Blsaensourg last year. Mr.. Hammock Is
young man, and Is regarded as a promising
