DOVER MzTHoD1sTs OaJEOr


With remarkable unanimity, the of
fetal board of Wesley Church, Dover, has
decided to keep both church and parson.
age locked against Rev. E. L. Hoffscker,
the young minister appointed Monday BY
the Wilmington Conference. The vote
was IS to 8, Messrs. Haman, Moore, A.
B. and Salisbury voting to receive.
Professor Wesley Webb, a special com
mittee commissioned by the board at q
full meeting, notified Mr.. Hoffecker that
under no consideration would he be al
lowed.to enter the parsonage or the church
except as an attendant or worehipper in
the congregation, and at no time would be
be considered or received as the pastor Of
the church. Mr.. Hoffecker doubtless
knew in advance of the turn affairs would
take, and the conference is said to have
known, as they have selected man who
owns farm and is therefore not without
means Of support. The conference; it is
claimed, will also have TO allow him q
salary similar to that OF supeFnumery,
il the contest goes against him. In "hold.
ing the fort", the Wesley officials are not
doing go solely because of resentment of
the treatment of their pastor, DR.. A. W.
Lightbourne, who was turned out Of con,
ference because Of an alleged spurious ers-
dental, although all the ministers knew
him for years as a minister in both the
Methodist and Congregational churches.
But the officials are protesting against the
condition of affairs in the Wilmington
Conference, they say, the political ma
chinery that has been built and the utter
disregard for conditions in the appoint
ment of ministers as is, they claim, shown
by the appointments made at Milford
Monday.
