Ii APPOINTMENTS MADE
List Announced by Bishop Berry in VIII,
:. mingt0n Nj. E. Conference Monday
/ SMYRNA, Del, March 25th.-The most
harmonious session OF the Wilmington
Methodist Conference ever held came to
| an end late this afternoon when Bishop
Berry announced the ministerial assign.
ments. They seemed to be entirely salts.
factory or as much so as it is possible to
get them, practically few complaints were
heard. The principal changes were in
the lower part of the conference The
| Rev. Howard 7. Quigg becomes a pastor
at Milford, the Rev. Luther Z. Poole was
moved from Elkton to Georgetown, the
Rev. Henry 6. Budd goes to Crisfeld, the
Rev. W. A. Wise goes to Centreyille, the
Rev. A. w. Lightbourne goes to Dover,
| the Rev. G. P. Jones to Middletown, the
Rev. w. R. Mowbray to Lewes, the Rev.
w. o. Hurst to Seaford and the Rev. l..
E Barrett was moved mp to E.kton. The
latter change was made at the last mo-
ment. There were several adjustments
of the ministerial slate during the day,
and the list was not closed until after
O'Clock when the bishops cabinet finished
its sitiings.
After speaking of the difficulties that
beset the cabinet in making appoint
ments, the bishop said: II wish the
churches in this conference would stop
calling preachers. Three-fourths OF our
trouble came about in this way. 1t is
tremendous task, an impossible task, to
satisfy preachers and churches when this
preliminary calling has been done. In
the West this is not done. suppose the
churches here will go right on issuing in
vitations, for | have not the power to
stop it, but hope don't strike this con-
dition often"
