REV. ]. N. ROWLAND TO
REMAIN IN VIRGINIA
Popular Methodist Minister Not To Be
Transferred to Holston Con-
ference

Norfolk, Oct 24-Rev. J. NJ Row
Norfolk. Some weeks ago it was an
nounced in some of the public prints
that movement was on foot to trans
fer Rev. J. NJ. Rowland. the popular
pastor of the Park Place Methodist
Church, to the pastorate OF the First
Methodist Church of Jackson, Tenn.
Very naturally the members of his
church and congregation were much
concerned at the prospect Of losing
their pastor. II the report should turn
out to be true. and the matter was
freely talked over by the Methodist
clergy In their meetings.
In addition to the newspaper re-
port. when emanated from Bluefield
W. Va. letter was received by Rev
George Wesley Jones. presiding elder
of the Norfolk District. coming from
the Official body OF the Tennessee
church. saying that Mr.. Rowland had
been recommended to them 80 The sue
cersor OF their outgoing pastor. who
had completed his four wears OF SER
vice. and saying that II the way was
open for him to leave the Virginia
Conference they wished to ask Bishop
Murrah. who Is in chargta Of the
Memphis Conference. to arrange TO
have Mr. Rowland transferred to the
jackson Church Mr. Rowland himself
has received no Communication from
the representatives OF the church The
presiding elder expressed himself as
decidedly opposed to the transfer and
Mr. Rowland wrote to the official BODY
thanking them for their preference.
but saying that he could not consent
to leave the Norfolk church at rms
time, and requesting that his name
should be no longer considered. He
also wrote to Bishop Murrah and TO
Bishop Kilgo. who has charpe of the
Virginia Conference. to the same eff
feet
Answers have been received from
both the bishops within the past few
DAYS. Bishop Murrah wrote that he
knew nothing whatever about the mat
ter except what Mr. Rowland had
stated in his letter. Bishop RTtgo
stated that he knew nothing OF the
matter except what ne had hear in
cidentally in passing through Virginia
recently. So II appears that there Is no
sufficient ground for apprehension
that the transfer will be made. es-
pecially as both Mr. Rowland and the
presiding elder are opposed to it, The
jackson Church is regarded as a very
fine appointment but Park Place Nor
folk has its strong attraction too
with fine prospect of enlarged use-
fulness in the future

Savinu Britain's Money.

The order of the British Board of Trade against the importation of certain goods not of British or- gin however much it may affect the commerce of this country. is of which may not complain. In the circumstances we would have moral right to retalate The order is an entirely different from those orders council which have restricted our commerce with neutral countries. Against those orders we have right to complain, and if government were less spineless, would realiate in such manner that Great Britain would hastily rescind them
 But the Board of Trade order forbidding the importation of goods which be produced in the British Isles or in British colonies or the use of which may be dispensed with altogether, is proper step in the program for the conservation of the financial and economic resources of the empire, unpon which the British government entered mme- dately after the declaration of The prohbi- ton is designed keep the money Of the empire within the empire and for that purpose it is effective than the system of high duties adopted months ago when for instance tax of 9S 1-3 per cent was placed all driven pleasure vehicles brought from abroad Any duty paid would go to the government while the prohibition of importa- tions will deprive the gov of a of enue But the government is less in need of money for purposes than the country is need of it for economic Besides it will always be at the command of the government.
 The order imposes upon the British people sricton similar that which natural conditions have imposed upon the people of Germany since the break O. the The order is as Senator Phelan of California declares, an unjust discrimination against American producers It is a discrimination favor of the British public against the people of all other countries, without deprivng them of any right such is not affected by tariff legislation It is a useful and legitimate war measure
