The following resolution was pre-
sented by Prof. H. M. Seely and unani-
mously accepted: We maintain Loyalty
our church government tho at times it
seems severe, as when by time limit it
removes a trusted over shepherd. The
eXaction of this time limit rule will sep
arate at the next annual conference
from us Brother P. L. Dow as our
district superintendent. We regret
that this separation is so near and part
with him in sorrow. In his going we
wish to assure him of our deep appre-
citation of his wise administration of the
affairs of our church, the help he has
given in our meetings, our sincere af-
fections for him, and our prayers for
his happiness and success. One last
blessing we ask from his hands, and
that is, the return of Brother Corkran
as our pastor for the coming conference
year.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again at the call of the district super
intendent.
