transfer of Rev. DR.. Frank II. Havenner.
the Dumbarton Avenue Methodist Church
of Georgetown 1t is not known to what
rastorate in the Maryland conference DR..
Hayenner will be assigned, nor has his
successor been determined upon by the pre-
siding bishop.
The intimation a few weeks ago that Dr.
Havenner would be transferred was not
considered seriously by the members of his
congrega ton. and the announcement that
he will leave the city has caused genuine
regret among the people. 1t is regarded as
probable that he will be given charge of
one of the larger pastorates of the Mary
land conference. AS one of the most gift
ed and popular preachers in the confer
cree. and with many years of service in
the ministry to his credit, his preferences
will no doubt be carefully weighed before
any decision Is made.
The Dunn barton Church has prospered
during DR. Havenners pasiorate. he hav-
ing greatly increased the membership. and
succeeded in placing the church on a sub
stantiaI financial basis His series of re-
vival meetings, just concluded. resulted in
many additions to the membership.
