The New York East Conference.-The Age
Was 47-The Assignments ofPastors.
The sixth and last days session of the
o'clock yesterday morning in the Hanson
Place N. E. church. Brooklyn. Immediately
after the reading of the minutes, Presiding
Elder Hill was presented with handsome
plush-cevered chair from the pastors in his
district. The presentation was made by
Presiding Elder Soudder, and then DIR. Hill
expressed his thanks.
The Rev. W. P. Corbett was mads the
conference evangelist.
Presiding Elder Hill moved that the Rev.
Robert WATSON, of the Nova Scotia confer
ence, be admitted as q member of this con-
ference. Some objection was made on &C.
count of the brothers age, which is forty
seven years. He was, therefore, almost at
the door of the superannuated.
DR.. Goedsell said he did not believe that
Mr.. Watson would ever be in any mans way.
He had good reasons to say that he would
not need to be put on superannuated roll.
DIR. Buckley said he did not think it
crime to be forty seven years of age. If it
was, he was criminal, for he had reached
that age on his last birthday, and his friend,
DR.. Peck, reached it Just two months before
ing in Nova Scotia, where the climate was
hard on the vocal organs.
After some further discussion DR. Goodsell
entered and announced that he had just seen
Brother WATSON, who had told him to say
that he would withdraw his application, as
he did not believe the conference was in
mood to receive him.
''That's shame,n exclaimed a number of
the clergymen.
