Rumors have been current for come
time that Rev. James Gro we intended to
resign from the pastorate of Asbury
Church.
While offering prayer at Asbury last
Sunday, he gave utteTsnce to what ap
peared to be an intimation that he might
not preach at the church any more and
asked that favor be shown his sue
cessor.
He left Monday for his former home
at Towanda, n. Y, where he has bust
mess interests, to remain week, and
gave no intimation of what he really
meant.
Presiding Elder Watt said yesterday
he thought there was no truth in the re-
ports and he thought he would be one OF
the first persons who would know it If
/ Mr.. Grove had decided to take such a
step.
An official member Of the church said
yesterday that be had heard the reports,
and aDt Mt week ago spoke to Mr..
Grove about them and the latter told
him he would not leave during the pres
ent conference year.
There is said to be a difference of
opinion between the pastor and some of
the members as to the financial methods
of the church and one of the official
members said yesterday that owing to
this the official board had not fixed any
salary for the current year although
several Efforts had been made to do so.
Last year the church adopted plan by
which the members subscribed at the be-
ginning of year to fund which was to
be divided as follows: PASTORS salary, 80
per cent; trustees fund, 25; missions,
Ia; presiding elder, 8; conference claim
ants, 8; episcopal fund !, Conference
/ Academy, church extensifysI. Freedman's
Aid and Southern EducaSh and other
collections, per cent eac ,sfht
! 1t was proposed to ddd,o,t this plan
this year, but it was not ado,ted, accord
ing to this member, becGuse it was not
agreeable to the pastor who feared
scme might think he would become un-
i duly interested in the collections on ac-
count OF his salary being on percentage
plan. Under this plan the salary last
year it is said amounted to about
ST. 800.
4 While the last quarterly conference
| was being held nine of the thiIteen
stewards present held meeting and de-
cided by vote OF to to recommend
to the quarterly conference that the
salary be fixed at $1,000. The recon-
mendation was made, but voted down.
A special meeting Of the board was held
last Friday for the purpose, it is said, OF
considering a financial AN proposed by
the pastor, but the members were unable
to reach an agreement Some OF the
members think there oug8lt to be an as.
sistant pastor, while others think one is
not necessary.

obtained and eight charges exploded over
the water where the body had been seen
to disappear.
Q1ite large number Of the excursion
lets were watching the efforts of the men
to secure the body, having ceased their
