Statement Regarding Ninth

Methodists all over the city are talk
ing about the proposed building OF the
new church In the Ninth ward. The
natter was first brought out by The

but some members Of the committee en-
tered a protest at its publication.
The story, however. was a plain state
ment Of affairs as they now stand
Presiding Elder A. $. Mowbray. who
is the chairman of the Church Location
Board, made the following statement
this morning:
The publicity given to the pro- o
posed action Of the Board Of
Church Location of the Wilmington
Conference through the columns OF
The Evening Journal, was in my
judgment wise thing. The very
fair statement made on Thursday
evening covers the case well, but
due to a misapprehension on the
part of some readers, an additional
word is proper.
THE Board Of Church Location
has nOpower over existing churches.
1t can however, advise them. The
duty put upon this important board
Is to determine whether new
church is needed or not and ifneed-
ed, where It should be located.
The present board is very anxious
to protect the interests of all ex-
isting churches. and will do so to
the utmost of its ability.
"A conference will be held with
kingswood Church on the six
teenth instant and with Brandy
wine Quarterly Conference on the
twenty fourth instant No one
need fear but what the utmost con-
sideration VIII be given to all con-
cernsd."
