annual conference OF the A4etuolist 2tp-
testant Church, in session at the Rhode
Island Avenue Methodist Protestant
Church, last evening, when the request Of
Rev. G. L. Wolfe, of Wilmington, n. C.,
that ne be allowed to withdraw his name
as a member of the church. and from that
of the conference as well. was made. The
announcement was followed BY consider
able discussion, many being opposed 10
the withdrawal, while others favored it.
1t seems the action of Rev Mr. Wolfe
has been in the hands Of committee for
some times.b but it was not brought before
the conference until last evening. Rev
Mr. Wolfe has been without an appoint
ment several years. While his request
Was placed before the delegates, the Tea-
son for his desire to withdraw from the
church and the association was not made
public. 1t is said. however, that no
charges have been made against his char
acter. and SO far as is known his request
was altogether voluntary.
Committee to Decide.
Rev. Mr.. Wolfe desires to retain his
ordination papers. which was another
point that brought out discussion Some
who were in favor of granting the min
sters request were opposed 10 the idea
Of allowing him to retain the papers ia
case the wish was granted. The question
was left TO a committee, which viii take
the matter under adgisement for further
consideration.
Just previous to the adjournment Of the
conference last night. the ministerial as
signments were read by the Rev. Mr..
Sheridan, the~president Of the association.
This is the most important feature Of the
entire conference. and was awaited by
the several hundred delegates and yisi-
tors with much interest While many
changes were made in the charges, others
were allowed 20 remain with their re-
spective churches. When the names OF
several of the ministers were announced
as having been appointed or reapponted
TO their respective districts loud applause
followed. Rev. ]. NJ Gil. who was reas-
signed TO the Rhode Island Avenue
Church, was especially cheered
