MINISTER RESIGNS.
Rev. S. w. Rosenberger Relinquishes
the Passionate of the M. P.
Church.

Much to the regret of his congrega-
ton and to the many friends he has
made since taking up his residence ID
this city, Rev. 8. W. Rosenberger,
pastor Of the Methodist Protestant
Church, has resigned. Mr.. Rosen-
berger rendered his resignation yeater-
day morning after the eleven O'Clock
service TO the official board OF that
church. It was promptly accepted:
The president OF the Maryland Annual
Conference has also been notified.
Mr.. Rosenberger has accepted pastor
ate Of the Methodist Protestant Church
at Smitbfeld, Ohio. He will be mem.
Der OF the MuskiDgum Conference OF
the NJ. P. Church.
The former pastor will leave this
week for his new charge. he will visit
Baltimore en- route, where he will be
the guest OF some Of Mrs. Rosenberger's
relatives.
The Methodist Protestant. Church Of
this city will, tits expected, be closed
until conference meets next spring.
The Sunday school will, however be
kept open as will likewise be the Chris
tan Endeavor Society,".
No intimation, whatever. had been
given OF Mr.. Rosenberger's intentions.
He called the official board OF the
church together yesterday morning
without giving them any notice OF his
intended resignation. 1t was total
surprise to ths members of the board.
When asked this morning sto the
cause of his resignation, Mr.. Rosen-
berger explained that twas not due to
any discomfort in the church. There
was not any opposition to him as he
knew OF. Continuing, he said My
resignation was not due to any friction
between pastor aud people. I accepted
the appointment at Smith6eld, Ohio,
purely from the standpoint Of the
larger opportunity opened
The resignation had been coutem-
plated for only two weeks past. The
pastorate OF the Smithfield Church had
been rendered him Saturday two weeks
ago. He accepted it Saturday
night at nine O'Clock.
Today the former pastor was to leave
for his vacation which was to last three
weeks. This fact hurried his acceptance
as he deemed it unnecessary to return to
this city and then apprise his congrega-
ton of his intentions.
Mr.. Rosenberger had been the pastor
Of the M. P. Church in this city since
April first. He had been member of
the Maryland Annual Conference OF
the M. P. Church since September l,
1909, when he was transferred from
Muslingum Conference Of Ohio. Alto
gether Mr.. Rosenberger has been in the
for nine years.

The receipts OF fresh fish in Wash.
ington from the New Jersey coast fish
cries, as we'll as from the nets in Chesa'
peake Bay and on the coast near Vir-
