NO SETTLEMENT IN NINTH
WARD CHURCH AFFAIR
Board of Location Meets
Congregation of Kings
wood Church

Although a meeting was held last
night between the members Of Kings
wood NJ. F. congregation and the Board
of Church Location of the Wilmington
Conference regarding the abandoning of
Kingswood Church for a new one at
Twenty-second and Church streets, no
decision was reached and open HOSTILE
ties were only avoided by the careful
manner in which Presiding Elder Now
bray stated the case to those assem-
bled.
The board realizing the necessity Of
the new church to meet the steadily
growing demand in another section of
the Ninth ward are heartily in favor of
it, but. Kingswood's congregation looks
at the matter in another light. They
claim the establishing OF the new
church will cause their organization to
be extinguished and that they will be
forced to go a long way 10 attend serv-
ice at the new edifice
Kingswood Church boasts of a sue
cessful Sunday school and it was held
by the members that change of To-
cation would serve TO destroy it as il
would be too far for the children to go
to attend.
It appears likely from the statements
made by members Of the board that
the new church will be erected, and II
also appears likely that the congrega-
tion Of Kingswood will refuse TO change
the location, though it was admitted
! by many of them last night that a new
church will mean a freeze out for
Kingswood.
One Of the petitions protesting
against changing the location OF Kings
wood church was from contributors and
friends Of the edifice and it pointed out
that the gospel is badly needed in that
/ immediate neighborhoOd.
! On next Tuesday night the congrega-
/ ton of KingswOod viii hold a meeting
when the whole affair viii be settled.
A member of the congregation this
morning stated that the conditions will
not undergo a change as they are all
of one mind and viii not consent to the
proposed change The board on the
other hand is certain of the ultimate
good that will be accomplished by the
building of the new church, which was
explained by the presiding elder last
night. What the outcome OF Il all will
be is a matter of conjecture and deer
concern to Methodists throughout the
city.
