specialists in this work capable Of intel
ligent leadership in this forward move
ment are the need Of the hour.
Debts.
The payment OF church and parsonage
debts has engaged the attention and labor
Of many OF the pastors. Gradually the
heavy burden is being removed from the
churches OF Wilmington District. and to
that extent they are being set free to ac-
complsh their real mission. SO long as the
church life is engrossed i'm an endless ef-
fort to raise money to pay interest on
debts. the real work of the church is ne
elected In this excellent movement our
friend and brother. Mr.. Melville Gam
brill, has been an inspiration. His generos-
ity made possible the liberation Of Wesley
last year and Of Goodman this year. In
addition he has also been a large factor
In the great victory achieved at McCabc.
The notable instances Of debt-payng this
year are Newark, Port Deposit, Mt
Salem. Goodman aud Epworth. where
heroic and sef-sacrihcing work of the
finest type has been done by both pastors
and people. Many others have cleared of
oncumbranccs equally important though
less In amount. While there are yet re-
naming a number OF such obligations at
different points. the only ones that are
sufficient 10 be an embarrassment are at
IIingswood. Eastlake and Richardson
Park. two of these churches of recent con-
struction.
Under this head as appropriately as
anywhere may be noted the excellent pro-
eress being made in paying for the new
district parsonage Twelve churches have
paid their apportionments In full and
many others have paid In part When this
work is complete the District superinten-
dent will have an excellent home, free
from debt and from the possible whims or
failures OF landlords.
Church improvements.
Despite the season OF financial depres-
sion from which every interest, religious
and commercial, in our bounds, has suf-
fered. tho past year has been one OF
marked activity in tho improvement OF
| church property. No less than twenty-five
instances Of material advance In this de.
partment are noted. One year ago we were
/ grieving over the exclusion of our people
( from their palatlal quarters at Washing
/ ton Heights Though deprived Of every
/ thing In the way of a church home, and
compelled TO accept the generous offer OF
a private parlor for a meeting place, this
company Of heroic people, under the zeal
Gus leadership Of Rev w. c. Poole, has
bought a desirable lot i'm the same local

The marvel of achievement on the
district, considering the difficulties
overcome. is the rebuilding Of the
church edifce at Church Creek, at a
cost OF $1,000, which has been raised
and paid. Already the congregation
has doubled, and a revival of religion
resulting in so conversions has fol-
lowed.
Extensive improvements have been
wrought upon the church edifice at
Cambridge, at a cost of $500.
East New Market reported 200 con
versions and the pastors salary has
been increased 500.
Other charges reported conversions
as follows: Vienna. so; Seaford, 35;

1900. This is the greatest advance and
the noblest achievement of the year.
Our offerings for benevolences and
missions exceed those of any previous
year There is a growing intelligence
as to the world-encircling work our
church is doing. and as consequence
larger liberality on the part of our
people. Last year our collection for
missions advanced S2l5 over the pre-
vious year. The advance of this year
over last promises to be about the
same.
At the end Of six years labor on the
district a closing word may not be
amiss. While the growth. of the work
has not been as large as II might have
been. yet we are devortly thankful
that the work has made some advance
along all lines. There has been net
gain of 400 in members and proba-
TONERS. Valuation of church property
has increased $4,000, ard at the same
time Indebtedness has decreased $4,000.
The advance on our missionary collec-
tion has been about $500, and that for
the other collections about 500. Pas
toral support has made. a net advance
Of $4,000. Six years ago only one
church on the district paid 5000. and
only two others paid $1,000 each. Now
two pay $1,000 each, one S11OO, and
four $1,000 each.
The above tabulatiom IS made as a
testimonial to the faithful self-sacri-
flcing work done on the district dur
ing these six years BIZ a noble army
of preachers and layrnen. No district
was ever blessed with "A better or more
i loyal company of preachers; not one
has died in the work. ilot-one has had
to quit his field by rea son Of sickness,
not one has been on trial or under
serious suspicion of wrong doing. My
thanks are due also 10. the host Of lay
men in all the charges who have help
ed the work and shown me innumer-
able acts OF kindness. / have thorough
lly enjoyed my work In this large field.
My pleasant fellowsh ips for these six
years will be among the richest mom-
ories of my life. close my term or

ministers. and His work better than
ever before.

worst. This occurred on aJnuary 5th
