DR.. S. NJ. Morgan opposed the plan
of consolidation. He said that where
other cancellations had taken place
the lapse of time after these COR
solidations have not been long enough
20 tell whether such mergers were GO
ing to be successful or not. He char
acterized DR.. Hoffeckers idea as
something of a fad. He said that It
would limit the meeting places Of the
conference to Wilmington and Phila-
delphia, as IL would be impossible
for any town south Of Wilmington 20
entertain such a body. He said that
the rural sections would be neglected
by a big conference and that he was
very much opposed to IL.
The Rev Olind Swartz also said
that he thought the consolidation
would not be desirable
Dr. Hoffecker defended the big con-
ference, saying that there was no lack
OF efficiency in its workings, and that
the rural sections were not neglected,
as experience had proved
DR.. George Edward Reed asked
Why the Wilmington Conference was
formed from the Philadelphia Confer
/ encce in the first place. DR.. Hcffec-
/ ker said that several influential
preachers of this section wanted a
separate conference and when they
asked for IL, they got it. Dr. Reed
then asked why the conference
should be consolidated with Philadel-
I phia any more that IL should be with
Baltimore. Dr. HoffeCker replied
! that all travel was north and that the
bay was a great objection
DR., Reed said that he had served in
several big conferences and that they
were much better that smaller con-
/ ferencea. He told OF the New York
/ Conference, IN which at one time he
had church I'm New York City, and
at Onother time in the country. and
said that he felt that this experience
had been of great benefit to him. He
felt that the merger should be sup
