Notice.
Rev. A. H. Newton, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. Church, has been transferred to the Louisiana Conference. We regret to lose Mr. Newton from this city, as gentlemen of his attainments are none too plenty in the ranks of the A. M. E. ministry. Aside from being liberally educated, he has shown a practical Christian spirit and work since his residence in this city. He is to be succeeded by the Rev. J. R. Jenifer.
East Camden, N. J.
At the last Quarterly Conference of the Hosanna A. M. E. Church the following resolutions were offered by the Rev. W. W. Chase:
Whereas, The church has prospered under the presiding eldership of Rev. A. H. Newton for the past four years; and
Whereas, This is his last year and Quarterly Conference; be it therefore
Resolved, That we return to him our grateful thanks for the manner in which he has conducted the business of the church, and pray that the blessings of God may rest on his labors; and
Whereas, In the appointment of the Rev. F. A. Sherman to fill the unexpired term of Rev. G. B. Smith has proven a blessing to the church and the community; we pray that he may be successful in preaching the Word of God; and
Whereas, He has been zealous and faithful in the discharge of his duties, both temporal and spiritual; therefore be it
Resolved, That he has our prayers and best wishes for his future success.
