ence, in my judgment, he would have
lived
"Fourthly, the best salary that any
minister of this conference can expect TO
get. however strong or able he is, is
81. 800. Two or three churches are pay
ina this salary. Quite a number pay
81 200. Some OF the men who are get
ting 81 200 or 81 400 year in this con
ference would be receiving from Sl,S'0
TO - 500 if they were in Baltimore or
Philadelphia
DR.. Wyatt spoke of the high cost of
living and the things expected of a min
ister and declared that young men who
are strong viii never come here because
of the larger opportunities elswhere,
The Rev. George White Dawson op-
posed the resolution bitterly because,
as he said, it would not benefit the
church. He grew caustic in his re-
marks at one time, when he declared
/ that several OF the big men Of the
church in this Conference had gone
TO New York tosiill big pulpits and
were glad enough to come back. Mr.
Dawson declared that il man is a
good preacher he can easily get a
! larger church at a larger salary, and
there Is no trouble in getting in or
| out of a Conference.
The Rev. L. c. Wright opposed the
resolution on the ground that while
they might be better for the preacher,
no good could result TO the church
from such a merger.
The Rev. w. l.. S. Murray stated
that this is an age of consolidation,
and the church should not lag be-
hind He said the reasons for the
division OF the Conference had now
disappeared, and Il would be much
better for all concerned If the pro-
posed merger took place.
Dr. II. d. Quigg. of Elkton, declared
that the time for merger has arrived
and he felt sure that the Wilmington
contingent would more than hold its
own in the Philadelphia Conference
ell said there are many opportunities
for the little" preacher in the Phila.
delphia Conference.
The Rev w. L. Poole raised the
question as TO whether the preacher
from the small town would be happy
and able TO do as well in the city
and if the city man would be as vel
off in the country. He said he was
in favor of the merger.
Dr. George Edward Reed moved
that the vote on the nation be post
pined for a week because il is i'm
! portant that if the motion be carried
/ and taken to the general conference
! the vote should be as near unanimou'
as possible. In speaking on his Owl
. motion Dr. Reed said that he did no
, believe that the Philadelphia Confer
: ence is in favor Of a merger.
( Mr.. Dawson offered a resolution
that committee be appointed TO wal
p on the Philadelphia Conference ant
I hnd out whether they were Willing
a 10 consolidate. On account of objec
tions and amendments Mr.. Dawson
! Withdrew the motion.
T. The report Of the committee wa
h adopted and upon motion Of Dr. Rec

ger OF the Wilmington Conference

ter debating the resolution for more
than an hour the resolution was laid
on the table as the special order Of
business for the meeting on next

Some time ago DR.. Hoifecker sprung
a surprise at the meeting of the
preachers association by Offering
the resolutions. They were placed in
the hands of a committee for a special
report to be received today and made
/ the special order of the day. The
committee in its report recommends
that the resolutions be adopted and
the appointment of a committee by
each conference to have the general
conference pass an enabling act for
tho consolidation of the two confer
ences. In case the measure goes
through and receives the sanction oil
both the bodies it would not becom,
effective until 1917.

According to the opinions of a num-
Der OF the preachers present at this
mornings meeting the motion of Dr.
Hoffecker will be carried no matter
how 'ong IL is put or. They express
ed an opinion this morning after the
meeting that a majority of the min
listers of the association were in favor
or the merger and stated that they
asred only TO the motion being laid
on the table for the time because il
would stand a better chance Of pass
ing with a larger majority at the
next meeting of the association than
II would today. They deemed it very
important that the action be as near
unanimous as possible Several OF
the ministers were in favor of taking
a vote on the resolution this morn
ing regardless of whether II should
pass with a big mapority or not The
motion to table Or. Hoffecker's mo-
ton was made by DR.. George Edward
Reed, who has declared himself In
favor Of the consolidation of the con-
! ferences.
DR.. Hoffecker in speaking on his
motion declared that since the con-
ferences were divided that the Phiia-
delphia conference has grown very
much faster than the Wilmington
conference. He declared that II a
merger was accomplished II would be
a great move for the preachers and
! the churches of this conference and
said that the means or travei and OF
| getting mail, which were one of the
reasons why the Philadelphia confer.
ence was separated in 1869 have now
been improved and there is no reason
Why the two conferences should re-
main separated to the detriment oi
each other
II Or. S. NJ. Morgan strongly opposed
the move. He declared that II nigh
I result in good for certain preacher
of the conference but said he wa
sure the members of the Philadelphia
Conference would control the con
ference and make what appointment
they wished to and the members o
the Wilmington Conference woull
be without a means to carry out thei
own wishes. He asked that his vot
be recorded against the motion an
then left the meeting TO keep an en-
gaeement.
The Rev. c. T. Wyatt. of Middle
town. who was present with a mum
Der of other down-State preacher
made a strong plea for the adoption
of the notion He said IN mart:
"Our conference territorially is sma
and circumscrihed. A man, howeye
