PASTORAL ASSIGNMENTS OF
THE WILMINGTON CONFERENCE
Four District Superntendens will Remain in These Important Offices
For The Ensuing Year
REV. E. W. MCDOWELL COMES TO MlDDLETOWN

| CAMBRIDGE, Nd, MARCH 27-Pas-
toral assignments were read by Bishop
Mcdowell at the session of the Will
mington Conference this morning.
At the same time the pastoral assign
ments were read the Bishop also read
the appointments of the four district
superintendent. The present incum-
bents remain in these important offices,
although the Laymen's Association
adopted resolution opposing reap
pointment of district superintendents
who had served for six years. This
Bishop Mcdowell explained was not in
accord with the law of the General
Conference which removed the time
limit rule last year. He said that he
was under vows to support the laws
and rules of the General Conference
and he regretted the action of the Lay
mems Association. He did, however,
suggest memorializing the General Con-
ference to re-enact the six year term
limit law and strongly advised against
arraying the laymen and ministers
against each other.
As a result of the re-appointments of
the four district superintendent the
rumored important changes among the
| clergy failed to materialize.
The conference voted to ask the Board
of Bishops to assign Bishop Mcdowell
to the 1923 session of the Conference.
Rev. +. w. Mcdowell, who for the
past four years has filled the pulpit at
Pocomoke City. Md, comes to Middle
town, and Rev. Van P. Northrup the
retiring astor of Bethesda Church was
| assigned to Richardson Park. Rev.
Northrup and his good wife have many
friends here who will regret to see them
| depart from our midst.
