HOBSON REMAINS
LOCAL PASTOR
Returned by United Brethren
Conference Which Ad-
journed Yesterday.
SEVERAL CHANGES MADE.
REV. DAWSON TRANSFERRED
MORE FUNDS RECEIVED TO
FURTHER CHURCH EXTENSION
THAN HAD BEEN EXPECTED.

That il will be to the advantage of
the church and denomination for the
Rev NJ. Hobson to remain as pastor
of the United Brethren church was
the opinion Of the White River con-
ference, which concluded its sessions
in this city yesterday. 1t was repre-
sented to the conference that the local
church has experienced a most sue
cessful year and this fact is due pri-
marily to the activity of its pastor.
Members have expressed their appro-
1t is the concensus of opinion
among the ministers and delegates in
attendance at the conference that it
has been one of the most successful
and beneficial the denomination has
eXpe rienced for many years. The at
tendances at services was large and
the interest taken more than custom
airy.
There were several important chan
ges among the district elders and the
assignment of a number of ministers
was also changed. Rev. Dawson for
five years of the indianapolis district
is transferred to the Marion district
and Rev. T. J. Roberts newly elected
to succeed Presiding Elder James of
the Marion district goes to the India
napolis district.
Rev S. L. Postlethwaite of Ander-
son and Rev. c. c. Weimer of Wabash
by Bishop Mathews, assisted by Rev.
William Gessett and Rev. d. o. Darl-
ing
Financially the conference received
more funds for the furthering of
church extension than it had expected,
$500 being taken in from the collec-
tons yesterday. The Ladies Aid So
ciety of the church which has been
serving meals to the visitors expects
to clear 5000 above expenses.
