appointments are to be considered
made until they are announced al
the close of the session on Monday
However, there is one change that
seems certain, that of District Su-
perintendent John L. Johnson, OF
the Middletown district, who has ac-
cepted a call to the pastorate of the
Smyrna NJ L. Church.
-Four men were suggested as pos
sibilities to succeed DR.. Johnson as
superintendent. They are: The Rev.
L. c. Hallman, of Denton, Md; the
Rev. Il. p. Thomas, of Smyrna; the
Rev. w. A. Hern, of Richardson
Park. and the Rev. J. J. Bunting, of
Crisfeld. Md.
Invitations for the entertainment
of the conference for 1884 will be
extended by the Rev. Ivanhoe Will
lis, for Asbury Church, Wilmington;
the Rev. w. E. Gunby, of Newark,
and the Rev. J. Harry Wright, of
EastOn, Md. Owing to the size of the
future conferences, now that lay
men are admitted with equal vote,
the indication was that the selection
of the next meeting place may be
referred to the Bureau of Confer
cnce Budget.

VIII Maintain Schedule
A shOrt-lived squall developed in
over adjourning Saturday noon, for
economy instead of continuing over
the weekend. II was settled when
the motion of the Rev. Vaughn S.
Collins that the printed program
calling for adjournment Monday.
was adopted with fewer than a doz-
en- dissenting votes.
The matter was brought to head
when Superintendent w. L. Habbart,
on behalf of the cabinet, offered
motion for night sessions to permit
adjournment Saturday. Mr.. Collins
vigorously opposed this. emphasiz-
ing the importance of the Sunday
session, particularly to the thous-
ands from all over the Peninsula
who flock to the seat of the confer
ence ON that day The views we're
supported by the Rev. c. Irving Car
pentcr. conference host, who cited
preparations made for entertain
ment :
When the program was adopted,
sndent White said he did
not think it a square deal to expect
the laymen to stand all this ex- ,
pense." However, the conference {
requested all ministers I
and laymen who are financially able,
to forego the $3.50 daily allowance r
Tor entertainment. Walter o. Hof- J
fecker and I. Elmer Perry, laymen.
had advocated that the laymen y
waive the right to this. /
