The forty-third annual session of
the Wilmington Annual Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church came
to a close at Asbury Church Whining
ton, Monday, to meet next year in St.
Paul's new $50, 900 church at Will
mington. DR.. T. E. Martindale, of
Salisbury, Md, was in the chair in
the absence of Bishop Nicely who was
having a closing conference with his
cabinet. The fund of 81, 800 adopted |
at the morning session for the re-
pairs to the Conference Academy, at
Dover, was raised on a motion to
So, 900. Rev. H. G. Budd, son of the
late Squire H. G. Budd. a former
Smyrna boy, has been elected princi-
pal of the Academy to succeed Prin-
cipal Cross. Rev. Budd caused
spirited discussion by announcing that
he proposed issuing a Conference
newspaper to advertise the academy
AS the history of the Peninsula
Methodist recently discontinued was
a failure, opposition arose to Mr..
Budd's plan and finally ended by the
withdrawal of the newspaper pro-
ject and the adoption of The Balti-
more Methodist as the official organ
of Wilmington Conference. The
conference indorsed a plan to raise
an endowment fund of S100, 900 for
the maintenance of historic Barrett's
Chapel.
Conference Sticks to Boarding System
At the Saturday morning session
there was a discussion over the
question of entertaining members of
Conference. The plan suggested by
the district superintendents by which
the churches pay the board of the
ministers during the Conference ses-
sion was adopted after an amend
ment that it be adopted for this
year. The present Entertainment
Committee was continued to report
at the next session. Harry B.
Stewart, Daniel Wilson, Ernest A.
Gillespie, Silas B. Keene and Thigh
man Smith were admitted 10 elders
orders, having passed the necessary
examination, and John W. Sutton,
Leonard White, James 7. Price and
Joseph A. Buckson who were re-
ported as having passed examina-
tions in the studies of the fourth
year, were advanced. At his own re-
quest. Charles E. Wood was changed
from supernumerary to superannu'
ated relation. A superannuated min
ster. Rev James Esgate, caused
laughter by suggesting that th'
name Wilmington be changed t.
"Delmarvia" Conference in ordei
to get away from connection wit
this rum place.
