Centenary.
Rev. H. D. Smart, a newcomer to the
conference from one Of the Western con-
ferences recently transferred, goes to Ep-
worth church, Norfolk, the best station
in the conference. perhaps. 1t has been
understood that he would be sent there,
but there was much oposltion among the
preachers to the admission of man from
another conference for this place. Rev.
a. Coke Smith, d. D., was pastor of Ep-
worth until his elevation to the bishopric,
and Rev. Richard A. Bennett has served
as pastor since then, being DR.. Smiths
assistant while the latter was pastor.
A very much larger number Of changes
has been madc than was anticipated would
be, these being due to the desires OF either
pastors or congrega ttons OF their mutual
preferences, the health Of the preachers.
or The exigencies of the ministerial supply
service.
