out over the city today inquiring of neigh

Rev w. NJ Ferguson DID, the new pas
tor of Wesley M. E. Church, recently ap-
pointed by the Baltimore annual confer
ence, arrived in the city today, and will
preach his initial sermon to the Wesley
congregation tomorrow morning. DR.. j. F.
Heisse, who goes to Baltimore to take
charge of the Fayette Street Methodist
Church, says he leaves the Wesley people,
after five years of service, with great re-
gret as his relations with the members
were always the most cordial and his work
as pastor of that charge has been a very
pleasant service. Dr. Heisse has been
popular minister In Washington, and he
leaves with the esteem of his former con-
gregation.
DIR. Ferguson comes to this city from the
South Baltimore station. He Joined the
Baltimore NJ. E. conference in 1863, and.
among others, has served the North Balti-
more charge and the old Fourth Street
Methodist Church in this city. now known
as Trinity. During his pastorate at the lat
ter church its ninetieth anniversary was
celebrated. From Washington he was
transferred to the South Baltimore station,
and in 1894 was appointed presiding elder
Of the Baltimore district. serving in that
capacity for six years. He was afterward
returned to the same station at South Bal
timore. While in this city DR.. Ferguson
wrote a book on Washington Methodism.
and his pastorate was regarded as very
successful. He is considered a strong min
lister in the pulpit and careful pastor, be-
ing popular with his congregation and
friends.
His son, Lyttleton Morgan Ferguson.
named after Lyttleton F. Morgan, who was
prominently known to the Methodists of

ence on trial as a preacher last Tuesday.
