THE TRUE INwARpSEss.
An item in the GAZETTE of last week
says that the threatened trou BILE In Bethel
and Glasgow III. e Churches has been
aserted by the appointment of the Rev.
5. I. Gardner as pastor and the sending
Of the Rev, ]. w. Hammersley to Clutch
Greek We do not think this is correct
statement. The objection TO the Bethel
aud Glasgow churches was not TO Mr..
Hsmmersley but to the removal Of Mr..
Burke when he had been unanimously
asked for by the official boards OF both
churches, and in the midst of pastoral
work that he was being singularly blessed
10 the pt opie of the whole circuit. On
der such circumstances it il difficult tc
see now changes that do not restore Mr..
Rurse really affect the disagreement. =
Cecil County Neos. The following IL
official; Before conference Mr. Barke
was slated for Bethel (Chester, Del. and
My. Hammeysley for Bethel and Glas
gov. The latter churches favored thi:
because 1t meant for Mr. Burke better
appointment. Wnen they learned thai
Mr.. Burke had been assigned to Grape. s
poorer appointment, then il was thai
they began to clRmor for his return, and
to object TO receiving Mr.. Hammersley
The objections to the latter gentleman
probably with one exception, had n,
foundation in fact.
