sudden peath Of a Minister.

Gloom was cast oyer the members OF
the New Jersey Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference, in Camden Sunday, by the an
nouncement of the death of Rev. William
NJ. White, pastor of Central Church, At
Iantic City, and one of the most popular
ministers in the State. During Conference
week Pastor White was being entertained
at the home of Lieutenant of Police Frank
Petit, Camden, where he died, at 1912
o'clock Sunday morning.
About six weeks ago Mr.. White tripped
on nail while walking on the board
walk, Atlantic City, and was thrown
violently against an obstruction. He suf-
fered considerable pain in the region OF
the lungs as the result of the fall, but his
condition was not thought to be serious;
be took an active part in the proceedings
of Conference until Friday, when he was
compelled to remain at the home of Lieu
tenant Petit under the care of a physician
He was treated for lung trouble, but the
attending physician did not regard his
illness as serious. He grew worse Satur-
day evening, and Revs. w. G. Ludlow
and M. E. Snyder volunteered to remain
with him all night. Shortly after mid.
night Mr.. Ludlow lifted the patient up,
and he died IN his arms.
Mr.. White was go years old, and bach.
elor. He has brother in San Francisco
Cal. AS member of the New Jersey
Conference he has filled charges at Red
Bank, Freehold, New Brunswick, Wood
bury and Atlantic City. He had been To-
Gated at Atlantic City for three years, and
large delegation from that city visited
Conference for the purpose of asking his
return. Last year he was assigned tc
Trenton, but so strong was the protest
against his leaving the Atlantic City
church that the Bishop reconsidered his
former appointment and allowed hin
to stay at his old charge. During the
three years that Pastor White was sta
toned at Atlantic City he relieved the
church of debt of $4,000 and built 6
beautiful new house of worship on Pa

utes to-day. In increasing It's size to 50
pages it gives an earnest of its purpose to
maintain the prominence which is every
