the approval of Bishop Fitzgerald, who
will preside at the Baltimore annual con-
ference of the M. E. Church, which meets
in that city the first week in April. 1t is
believed that the bishop will concur in the
selection of the committee.
Native of Baltimore.
Rev. Robert NJ. Moore is about thirty
fiye years of age and Is a native of Balti-
more city. He attended the public schools
of that place and later entered Dickinson
College at Carlisle. Pa, where he prepared
for the ministry in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. He began his service as a pastor
in that denomination about fourteen years
ago. when he was assigned to duty on the
Montgomery. Md, circuit. He occupied
the pulpit of the Methodist Church at Cal
thersburg. Md, for about five years, and
from that place went to Kensington, Nd,
as pastor of the Methodist Church in that
town. He remained in Kensington about
four years, and during his pastorate there
the congregation built large new church
edifice and a parsonage, and the membership
increased to great extent. Rev. Mr.. Moore
left kenslngton to accept the pastorate of
a church in Hagerstown, Md and served
that congregation for two years, when he
was called to East Baltimore Station about
two years ago.
During his term of service at the latter
place the membership of the church in
creased from 500 to about TOO The edi-
flee is one of the largest owned by the
Methodist denomination in Baltimore. and
II is stated that the congregations fill it
to its full capacity every Sunday.
Rev. Mr. Moore was married to Miss
Elizabeth Marine of Baltimore about eight
years ago, who, it is said has proved to be
a most valuable assistant to him in his
religious work. He is regarded as one of
the most eloquent preachers in the Bal
timore conference. and it is said his min
istry has been eminently successful. He
Is considered as very popular both with
the Older and younger members of his
congregations. and he is spoken of very
highly by the Methodist ministers of this
city and by Rev. DR.. Naylor. the presiding

Meets With General Approval.

The selection of Rev. Mr. Moore seems
to meet with the general approval of the
members of Foundry and st. Pauls
Churches. and 1t Is confidently believed
that the bishop Will confirm the appoint
ment to this city
1t is understood that the East Balti-
more congregation is anxious to retain Mr.
Moore, and regret very much his decision.
During the two years in which he has
been in charge of that congregation the
pastors salary has been increased from
81 500 to 50 200 q year.
