TO the Editor Of the Morning MeUs:
SIR The fourth Quarterly Confer
ence of ApOquinimink Circuit almost
unanimously y decided to change the
parsonage from Rlack bird TO Smyrna,
there being Is members of the Quar-
terly Conference present, and only two
voting against it. Two or three did
not vote at all. At the close of the
conference the president requested the
trustees TO organize and appoint u
committee to rent the parsonage and
s,,, 9,So secure a suitable house in SmVrna.
Inc committee appointed d-Alexapder
Deakyne and David P. Hutchison-did
the work assigned.
IL was thought to be a good move in
view oil the fact that SMYRNA Landino,
Is TO be united to Appoquinimink Cir'
cunt at the coming session of our apnnaI
Conference, and the Landing is to ba
an evening appointment, thus aIlowino,
the pastor To be home on SundaS :,
nights. ''y
The reason the Rev. J. ID. Reese did
not move the first of March. was mot
as stated in the Morning Ne,Us. on
account of the detention of the furni-
ture, but thesillness of Mrs Reese, who
IS still in critical condition
The notice served on Mr.. Reese was
illegal, as there had been no regular
meeting of the board of trustees The
Quarterly Conference that decided to
chahge the parsonage, acted under
paragraphs 334 and 335 of the Discip-
line.
Also, your readers would infer from
what appeared in the Morning NeUs.

The Conference, having got rid of
the spirit that dominated Il and SCI
evil influences at work, has made nm
its mind, as far as the business intarasts
will permit, TO run its extra exarcises
on as much a religious basis as possibIe
and thus keep it in harmony with the
great work of grace that has has
brought revolution in Middletown.
IL gives promise of being as pleaMant /
and delightful as the preceding sessions
since the Crisheld Conference has been
unpleasant and disturbed. The condi-
tions which so long diaturbed the peace
and harmony of the church have been
and the quarter centennial
session promises to be the most delight

'o-day great church working together

The State Sunday School Conven-
tiOn which held its sessions in this
town on Thursday and Friday of last
week, was a remarkable meeting in
every way. 1t was characterized bv
Intelligence, earnestness. devotion to
an idea in the strict line of training
the young and helping to make them
better men and women, and above all,
from the opening TO the last moment of
the closing session, it was pervaded by
a spirit of religious devotion and alb
sorbtion in one great theme that
seemed to hallow the very atmosphere
ofthe building. This was felt by even
the occasional caller in and remarked
by all. There was a generous hosDital.
ity that very materially fostered the
spirit of good fellowship, and in a gen.
erai sense guest and host were the
better for having broken bread to.

DC IN harmony with him, none were
more so than Prof J. r. Sweeney. who
led the convention so frequently, both
as a change in the proceedings and
from choice of all, in beautiful and ear
nest songs. Prof. Hamill was the
educator Of the Convention and de-
lighted everybody. The preceding

Mrs. Wilson, wife of Rev. W. w. w.
Wilson has been presented by her
lady friends of this town with dozen
solid silver spoons ane a solid silver
salad fork. This expression of esteem
was especially appropriate. Her gen.
tie and christianlike character could
but win the esteem of all, and at no
time during the three years and more
she has resided in our town we do not
think that at any time there has
been one person who has not held her
in the highest regard, and now ear
nestly wish for her speedy recovery
from the long illuess through which
she is passing.

The spirit as manifested in the State
Sunday School Convention held here
last week, in the unanimous report of
the committee and unanimous adoption
of the same by the conversion, is that
there should be an entire separation
between church and state. More than
half century ago, when Sunday
Schools were in their incipiency and
served in a measure the purpose of
other schools, instead of being entirely
for religious instruction, as now, a
small sum was allowed from the treas
ury, for each scholar reported as COM
posing the school. However applicable
to the condition then, this convention
deemed it an infraction of the constitu-
tion to use any part of the state money
for schools run on religious lines. The
same class of people are also beginning
to think that church property should
be assessed and pay tax just the
same as any other property, and sew
eral of the leading members gave
expression to this idea.

THE Chief Justceship has formed
naturally, a large subject for conversa-
ton throughout the state the past
week. An effort is being made, but
without much apparent headway, to
raise the salary to 5000 so as to induce
Senator Gray to take it, but the state
ment comes on the other hand, that
neither Mr.. Gray nor Geo. V. Massey
would take it at those figures. Satur-
day morning about 40 members of the
Wilmington bar signed a petition in
favor of Chas. B. Lore. The Ererv
ECening wants Republican appointed,
and says
There is no douIt of the existence in
the state of strong public sentiment
against a Judiciary unanimous in
opinion as far as the political senti-
ments of its members are concerned.
Such thing is unwise in policy and
prone to evil in practice. The neces.
sity for nOn-partiZsn judiciary was
strongly urged before, when two vacan-
cies existed upon the bench of the
state courts, and the arguments then
advanced apply with equal force to the
present situation
Governor Reynolds has now an op-
portunity to show himself fully equal
TO the emergency and adopt the honor
able and only proper course as laid
down by Governor Cochran, when he
appointed Chief Justice Comegys in
1876.

Raising Salaries.

The IndeG is out in its last issue
strongly in favor of raising the salary

With wheat at 20 cents, corn at 40 and
other products of the farm in proper
tion, IL does seem to US that it would
be great injustice to the taxpayers,
II not an absolute cruelty, to increase
the burdens already piled up upon
them. OfMr. Gray's fitness for the
position there can be no question. but
do not agree with the Iader that he is
the only one. So far as / have heard
an expression Of opinion, Mr.. Lore is
the favorite both of the Bar and the
people, and no one will question his
eminent fitness for the place. LEX.

The Revival Meetings in Middle
tewn.
The religious interest in the Pre.by-
terian and Methodist Churches of our
town, is unprecedented. Since the
beginning of the year there has been a
rising tide of religious fervor and
activity, that has produced the most
marvellous results. It would be Cliff
cult TO estimate the good already
accomplished and the influence must
have a widespread and permanent
effect upon the religious life of our
community. Many persons, who up to
the past few weeks, were entirely
Indifferent, and with no religious
inclinstions, have become converted
and are ready for any line of Christian
work. Others who have been trained
Ia the Sabbath Schools and were
attendants upon church services, have
been fully enlisted in the good work,
and will become Jealous workers in
the vineyard Of the divine Master.
Many persons adjacent to our town
have come in through the cold and
storm with great regularity, and taken
part IA the services and promise to be
valuable accessions to the churches.
The young people have been enlisted,
many of whom have Joined church.
Men and women in old age, and scores
IN middle life, have consecrated them
selves to God. The fraternal spirit
among Christians OF all denominations,
the unqualified endorsement the lead
ing men and women of our town have
given the work, bespeaks a tone of
religious life. the good effects of which
cannot be estimated. Transcript.
