leisure and opportunities to please them

derfully clever rider in the Long Island

Rev. n. C.. Anderson.

Rev. T. G. Anderson, pastor of
Pencader Presbyterian Church of
Glasgow, died very suddenly on Fri
day last Of heart disease. He had
been ailing for some time and his
death, though sudden, was not unex-
pected. The funeral was held in his
church on Monday. DR.. s. M. Osmond
read the scriptural lessons and led
the congregation in prayer. DR.. W.
D. Mckinney, D. D., preached the
sermon, and his text was from First
Psalms, Sd verse I" He shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water"
The text was descriptive of the
character Of the good man, and es-
pecially as illustrated in the life and
character of the deceased. DR.. Nc
Kinney had been a warm personal
friend of the deceased for number of
years and paid glowing tribute to
his memory. Subsequent addresses
were made by DR.. Lafayette Marks,
of Wilmington and Rev. Edward
Webb, formerly pastor of Pencader
Church.
The pulpit and pastors chair were
draped in black, and the congrega-
tion sent a handsome floral pillar
with. the words "Our PASTOR on it.
The interment was made in Laurel
Hill cemetery, near Philadelphia.

FELTON, Church Troubles.

A correspondent writing from FELTON,
to Erery EUeniag of Monday says
7" The first quarterly conference of the
M. E. Church. held here yesterday,
was warm affair. 1t was big hoo
doc, interspersed with singing, pray
ing, crying and then more quarreling.
Upon Presiding Elder Wilson taking
the chair he first hurled degree of ex-
communication of the Eve stewards
present from Manship and Willis
chapels, those churches having refused
to abide by the change made at the
last session of the general conference,
which cut them off from the FELTON,
charge.
Thomas Case, one of the official
board of FELTON, church, instantly
arose and told the stewards to stay
where they were, that their good old
fathers before them had contributed to
the building of that edifice and that
they had as much right there as Pre-
siding Elder Wilson had, and that the
church would live after Mr.. Wilson
was gone that he for one was going
to stay there and assert his rights as
long as there was one brick piled upon
another. To all this TRADE the elder
curtly replied that he was not address,
ing Mr.. Case and wanted nothing to
do with him whatever. Though he
did admit that he desired the intrud-
ing representatives of the two neigh
boring churches to remain, and told
them he would place their two churches
and Masten's back on FELTON, circuit
provided they were willing to support
a young man to assist the Rev. Mr..
Hams in filling their pulpits for the
year. He also told them that this was
all the concession on his part they
need expect to get.
Their reply was that: If Manship's-
and Willis were set back to FELTON, as
they were formerly, they would vouch
for $500 as before towards Mr.. Hains
Tor whoever might be the FELTON,
preacher's) salary. They would not
under any circumstances be saddled
with the responsibility of paying an
extra preacher. And said If their
reasonable demands were not granted
they would 60 over to the Methodist
Protestant body and breeches. So they
stand and who will give in remains to be
seen. Such cutting sentences from
the stewards to the elder as "I don't
know whether to call you brother or
not ;" and from the elder to the men,
bers as /" Where is your obligation of
?" was frequent throughout.
Thus ended the first act in the drama
and the preachers salary not settled
upon yet. This will necessitate
another meeting as that is one of the
matters for action at the
first quarterly conference each year.
