H. S. \\'hile, and to him I am inclchtec l for many sug gestions, which have helped me in my work. Including St. l'elershurg-, I fonncl four charges without pastors. It did not take lon g. howev('r, lo supply the places with suitable 111e11 . 'l'he Great I lead of lhL' Chl1rch has mercifully preserved the lives of all the pa ~ tor s and no ho111es have been clistressccl with serious illm·ss nr death. A. C.

The Fonrth S2uarlcrly L'un kH·ncc passed L'l)!llpli111e11tary resolutions approving- his 1ni11i stry ;111'1 a,;king tha l IH· be rt·turnl'cl to the charge.

This charge is peculiarly situated, being isolated from any other. J\ sawmill which furnished employment for the people has heen shut down for three years; the people have moved away in quest of work and there were not enough left lo justify the appointment of a pastor. Tarpon Spring·s has had a most successful year under the pa;:torage of G. II. Northrop. There has been a steady advance in all lines. An annex has been added to the church, which has been fitted up as a gymnasium where the pastor meets the lloys' Club on week evenings. A piano has been secu red fo r the Ep worth League. The whole of. these imrrovernents cost !J;l,200.00, which amount " ·as folly paid al the Third Quarterly Conference. This charg·e of its O\\'n free will agreed to surrentlcr its mission arv appropriation for next year, believing- it to he their duty to help a weaker charge and promising to more than make up the difference on the pastor's salary. 11rothcr Northrop, his \riic and family arc greatly beloved hy the whole community ;L11d the cry from every qnarter is, "Se11cl him hack." Okahumplw a1Hl Fruitland Park were supplied hy J. C'. Sul iivan and J. II. Creppcn for the first part of thc"yl'ar. In Oc tober J. J. Thompson, from the hounds nf the Cencsl'c Confer ence, was appointed to the work. ancl as a result nf his pastoral visiting ancl efficient preaching- the charge g·ives grl'all'r promise than it has rlone for years. Upon my appointment to the dis trict, 'I'. n. \\'i lher. from the Northwest Indiana Conference, \\as appointed to St. l'cters burg; he took hold nf thin ,:.?,·s \\'ilh a 1naskrly hand, as his µ;oocl report which he liring·s to Conference will show. A new par sonag-e was ! ~o ught abont Confcrl'ncc timl' last yca1-. and in Feb ntary, twenty-five ln111drccl dollars was raised to p;ty fnr it. \Ve predict for him much success in this promising· fidd. The offi cial board unanirno11sly desires his rctnrn to the chaq.!;C. \i\Tintcr Park has sn ffcrcd liy the removal of some of its best· members. J. L. Folsom bas been the past()r for the past year. Our \rork al Tarnp;i has Ileen a cli .:co1Jraging pro1Jkn1 for several years and we have 11,1d a constant ~lrttt.;g·le for existence. 'Ne arc unfortunate in onr location, and strang·e as it may seem, there is a prcconcertecl effort on the part of another dcrwmination to thwart all our efforts at this place, and a :\lcthorli~l l•:pi:.:cnpal Church South is locatccl on either side nf us, hut :L shnrl dis tance. I have been repeatedly on the field and done mv best to rally the charge. but with little result. H.esnhtions. were. pa~secl at the Fourth Qnarterly Confere11 ce rl·cummcncling- that we abandon the field and sell the property. In my jucl,grncnt, this is the best thiug· to do; it seems· to l ~c a deliher;ite ,~·as tc of money to put a missionary approprialion to this charg-e. Our S'I'. JOITl\S Hl\EI< L'llNl'l·:RENCI·: ~I.
