LEWES METHuOlSTS MAD.


They Doubt whether Angel Wings win
Grow on Asbnry's officials.
Lewes Correspondence OF the Peninsula
Methodist
In view of the action of the Whining
ton NJ. L. Conference Just held in Sails
bury, we think Solomon would have
said, there are five things too wonder
full for him, tho fifth one being the re-
moyal OF the Rev. j. H. Howard, pastor
of the NJ. Il. Church in this place after
serving but one year, when it ia so uni
formly the custom, where relations be-
tween pastor and people are harmonious
to allow them to continue from two to
five years.
The people Of Loves were united in
their desire to have Mr.. Howard return,
as he was doing good work here and
seemed to be satisfied with his charge;
and they believe that Presiding Elder
Corkran was opposed TO the change, ms
the church was in prosperous condi-
ton.
The people here were very much sur
prised and somewhat indignant at not
being consulted in the matter, and are
inclined to think the officials Of Asbury
Church in your city did not enter the
fold by the door, but crept in some
other way; and in this matter have
acted as if they did not care who sinks
so they swim.
Notwithstanding this treatment, the
people of Lewes, who are loyal Method
lists, will receive their new pastor, DR.. S.
j. Morris, with open arms, and lay all
blame for the change at the door of AS
bury Church.
If your correspondent is not mistaken
Asbury wanted pastor, and turning
their eyes on the Rev. j. II. Howard,
they sent u man to Lewes, who found
that the people were not willing to part
with him, as they did not think he had
finished his work here. Notwithstand-
tag this, like Ahab, i Kings, XXI chapter,
they got what they were determined to
have; and in this way Lewes was de-
prived of its pastor. Our people don't
believe angel wings will ever grow on
Asbury officials until they bring forth
fruits meet for repentance.
Of what use is presiding elder, if
his opinion of the churches Of his
charge has no weight and his wishes
are not respected?

Patrons. H.....--. .-
Manager j. H. Mehaffey of the Will
mington Telephone Exchange has just
issued most useful pamphlet for the
patrons of the telephone exchange.
The book is in large type, very clearly
and systematically arranged. First
there is an alphabetical list of the SUBJ
scribers up to No. 100, and also ex-
change numbers at Newport, Stanton,
Newark and New Castle.
All subscribers should remember in
regard to the last mentioned phones that
Wilmington phone patrons are entitled
to call up those places without extra
charge. Many suppose that they must
pay toll for them. Mr.. Mehaffey says
not.
The last page gives the phone num-
bers in numerical consecutiveness. So,
that if subscriber desires to know the
name of the number calling him up all
he need do is to refer to the last page
when lie can see who his caller is with
out inquiring. This is, as all users of
the phone know, of the greatest ad-
vantage, and, on certain occasions, a
necessity. Very often a caller rings off
before opportunity is given of learning
who the inquirer is.
