Decision by the Wilmington M E. Conference
TO place itself in position where il may entertain

IS no light task for a single church to take upon it,

munites ever having conference held in them.
The alternative plan of providing for the confer
ence entertaining itself, from a fund made up of
assessments levied on all the churches is much
more equitable Under the plan adopted here, no
church that feels able to extend an invitation is
prevented doing so. Unquestonably there will be
many years in which such invitations will be given
However the plan leaves the conference body in
an independent position that will go far toward
