SHAKE-UP IN u. B.
CIRCLES COMING +?
[Continued From First Page.l

Bossler, at State Street.
All Towns May BE Affected
Should break appear in the clouds
hanging over the assignments, all
kinds of changes are predicted. Nearly
every town in the conference Will be
affected, it is believed. It was inti-
mated that should big change take
place, Philadelphia would be In
cluded. The possibility in this case
expressed by delegates was that the
Rev. DR.. S. C. Enck, of the Second
Church in Philadelphia will be trans
ferred to the Third church which has
just been organized
1t is likely that should this change
be made, Lebanon Valley towns VIII be
included in the shake-up. A new pas
tor of high caliber in church work,
must be selected for the Logan Mis-
sion in North Philadelphia is the
opinion of all the ministers.
Several of the delegates at the con-
ference in speaking of the start of the
agitation for a big shake-up, say that
at the last conference last year In
Philadelphia, the move was made for
the change. Several years ago Bishop
Weekly, in announcing the appoint
ments, sprung many surprises. and
some more big ones are predicted for
tomorrow. Some of the pastors even
intimated that they were prepared
for the change, having packed some
of their furniture.
In nearby towns with one or two
exceptions, no changes Will be made
is the belief in conference circles. AT

priation.
