CONFIRMED BY CONFERENCE.
First Meeting OF ST. Paurs and
Fifteenth Street Congregations.


The action of the boards of trustees of
the Fifteenth Street and st. Pauls NJ. r..
Churches in combining the congregations
for the purpose of worsh;ping as one body
was yesterday confirmed by the Baltimore
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. and the Rev StoweII l.. Bryant.
who has had charge of the latter during
the last two years, appointed TO the pas
torate of the united congregation.
The history of the uniication of the
congregations of these two churches was
told in The Times when it was decided on
by the boards of trustees. The PROPOSE
ton was the result of the financial coudi-
ton of affairs of the Fifteenth Street
Church. 1t was evident that sooner or
later the congregation would not be able
to meet its liabilities. and it was only
by such an advantageous union as that
proposed with the congregation OF st.
Paurs that 1t could succeed. The terms
offered by the congregation of st. Paul's
was liberal and entirely satisfactory to
the members of the Fifteenth Street
Church, with the exception that il ne
cessitated their giving up their pastor.
the Rev. s. Reese Murray. During the
year which Mr.. Murray has been in
Washington he has made host of warm
friends, and was especially beloved by the
members OF his flock, who are reluctant
to part with him under any circum-
stances.
Mr.. Murray will go to Wesley Chapel.
Baltimore. which by the way, is consid-
cred "a choice assignment. He will take
official charge of his new flock next Sun
day. when he will preach to the members
at both the morning and evening services.
Mr.. Murray, however. will not move his
family to Baltimore for some time.
The new pastor of the Fifteenth Street.
or rather, ST. Paurs Church. as ii will
hereafter be known is well and favorabIy
known to the members of the old church.
For the last two years he has been pastor
OF st. Pauls Church. which is located in
the same section of the city as his new
charge.
The first meeting of the two congrega-
lions for the purpose of worship will take
place this evening. when the regular
weekly prayer service will be held. After
the service an informal reception will be
rendered the new pastor by the members
of the combined congregations.
\ meeting of the Epworth League of
the old Fifteenth Street Church was held
last evening to consider the question of
uniting with the league of ST. PauTs
Church.
