Milford chronicle., 1936-03-27


sermon on Sunday morning, a spe-
cial meeting Of the official board
was called, when Rev. Sh0ckley put
the matter before them for theil
consideration resulting in the board
leaving it up to the pastor and his
wife to make their own decision.
At the beginning Of the evening
service the pastor made the an
nouncement that he and Mrs. Shock
ley had been in the parsonage alone
with the Lord and after a long and
hard struggle had decided to accept
the invitation, subject to the appr0-
val Of Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, OF
the Wilmington N. 2 Conference,
which is now in session at Delmar.
This came as a blow to the audi
ence and a very hard one to those
who had heard nothing Of the morn
ing procedure, but however if the
change does take place, the pastor
of the past two years and his wife,
are both going with the very best
wishes of all the people of the COM
munity for their future success.
