Rev. W. L. s. Murray to the Pas
torni Ranks.
When Bishop Andrews arose at the
closing session of conference and began
reading the appointments tho audience
became silent, and throughout the reading
the utmost interest was manifested. The
announcement that the Revs. Louis II.
Barrett and r. ii. Adams had been selected
as presiding elders was greeted with ap-
plalise, and appreciation of the appoint
ments of the Revs. +. B. Short, 7. E:
Terry, r. l.. Hubbard, G. w. Bounds and
Wilbur Il, Corkran was expressed by the
clapping of hands. When it was an
nounced that the Rev. ]. A. b. Wilson was
to go to Easton, a woman hysterically ex-
claimed: "Oh! oh !" The pastoral changes

to New York Conference and was told he
could obtain transfer whenever he de.

continue in Wilmington Conference and
given the choice of going to Easton or
Cambridge. 1t is stated by his friends that
he chose Easton and that he will remain
there if the people do not object to receiv-

lie has received call from a church in
New York Conference is denied. In an
interview Wednesday morning he said; II

services were absolutely required else

visit in the afternoon and owing to his
