had met in Salisbury since it met
in Laurel and asserted that no
church outside of Wilmington could ex-

Mr.. Hill declared that no church in
Wilmington could beat the church in
Salisbury in that respect. Mr.. Mac
Sorlcy said Lewes is more central than
any Of the other places mentioned, Mr.
Wilson said Smyrna had extended an
invitation in 1880 for conference to meet
there next year and 10 decline the in
vitation would seem like discourtesy.
Under the circumstances he thought it
strange that an Invitation should come
from any other place a ballot was
taken with the following result: Sails
bury, 50 votes; Laurel, "a; Smyrna, 26.
Meanwhile Lewes had been withdrawn
! with the explanation that the confer
ence would be asked TO convene there
some other time. The vote for Sails
bury was afterwards made unanimous.
