TAIR OF CHANGES
AMONG PASTORS
continued from First Page.

VIII be named Dy BlsnOp perry LUIS,
with the election of four ministerial
delegates to the General Conference,
will furnish ground for much specu
lation on the part OF the clergymen.
and will occupy a place second to
nothing i'm the deliberations of the
Conference and the Bishops cabinet
Some OF Those Mentioned.
Names OF several ministers arc be-
ing mentioned for appointment as dis
trict superntendents. Predictions are
being made by some students of the
situation that the three new superin-
fendents will be selected from the
following list OF pastors;
The Rev. w. A. Wise, pastor OF Scott
Church this city.
The Rev. W. r. Mowbray, pastor Of
Milford Church.
The Rev. J. ". Colona, pastor OF the
church at Georgetown.
The Rev S. y. Pilchard. pastor Of
the church at Cambridge, Md.
The Rev. J. W. Easley pastor OF Nc
Cabe Church. this city.
The Rev. George c. Williams, pas
tor OF the church at Laurel.
The Rev. DR.. Vaughan S. Collins,
pastor Of st. Pauls Church, this city.
The Rev. c. r. Wyatt. pastor Of the
church at NIiddletown.
Pick May BE From Five.
One minister, who. in past years,
has been very successful in forecast
ing appointments. said he believed the
selections for three superintendents
would narrow down to the Revs. W.
n
Iona, S. \. Pilchard and possibly the
Rev. G.. G. Williams.
There has been somewhat OF Gus
tom for retiring district superntend-
cnts TO take the pastorates made va
cant by the appointments Of the new
superintendents. and II this plan is
followed by Bishop Berry, in max
ing his new assignments. II would not
be surprising to find that DR.. Hoiiec-
ker should become pastor OF Scott or
McCabe Church. this city. and that
the Rev. DR.. Watt should be appointed
pastor of Avenue Church. Milford
where he had flourishing pastorate
several years ago. DR.. MOwbray, OF
Milford, seems TO be regarded by many
pastors as almost certain OF being one
OF the new superintendents. There IL
some talk that Dr. Stephenson may be
appointed either to Cambridge or ia
Laurel. when the new slate is made
DR.. Stephenson is chaplain, with
rank of captain, in the Delaware
Militia, and many OF his friends are
urging that he be assigned to a church
in Delaware so that he can continue
his association with the Delaware IN
fantry, he being popular with officers
and privates alike.
Few City Changes.
Several OF the leading churches o
Conference may have changes in pas
torates as a result of Conference. Ih'
Rev. L. T. Barrett, it is expected VIII
give up the pastorate at Chestertown
and 20 on the retired list, and som'
of the ministers have heard that th'
Rev. DIR. T. T.. Martindale, who ma
been pastor at Salisbury, Md. To-
seven years. has expressed desire t'
retire and may give up active work a
the Conference session. He ana Ut
barrett are two OF the ablest veterans
in the ranks Of the Conference.
Few changes are expected IN wa
minoton pastorates, unless caused D.
amendments Of the new district super
infcndcnts. The Rev. j. II. Cray Is eA
,cctod to 20 from Silvcrbrook TO becom
nastor at Epworth Church. just Wh'

General Conference Delegates
Much interest, too. is being taken Il
the selection of the four delegate
from the ministerial conference 20 tn
General Conference. In recent year
there has been an inclination towar
sending some of the district superin
tendents as General Conference dele
gates. three of the four superintend
ents having been elected delegate
four years ago.
Inasmuch as three OF the four su
perintendents will be back in the pas
toraI ranks by the time the Genera
Conference convenes. il would nc
be surprising II all four OF the pres
ent superintendents arc honored o
being elected delegates. Friends Q
each superintendent are urging tina
be thus be honored. Superintendent
r A. II. O'Brien, of Salisbury district
was appointed to the position ne no'
holds. one year ago, at the session i
T,aurel and has had a prosperou
year on his district.
In addition to the present superln
tendents. the names OF the Rev. U.
Anderson. of Harrison Street Church
the Rev. DIR. W. II. Corkran. OF Onlo
Church. and the Rev. c. W. Prettymar
OF Asbury Church. Smyrna, are Deln
