Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Robert J. Tilson in London, England. Pendleton has received Tilson’s letter of Feb. 29th. Pendleton discusses arrangements for the upcoming General Assembly in London. He is pleased with the hall (Victoria Hall?) that Tilson has procured for the occasion, and he does not feel the need to perform a dedication for its temporary use. He elaborates, “If I owned a building, and felt the powers of spheres as a consequence of a dedication, and a strange religious people rented my building for a few days and proceeded to dedicate it, I would be disposed to object. I regard a dedicated house as not unlike an ordained man, i.e. something is placed that is not to be removed.” In preparation for the several ordinations that will be performed at the Assembly, Pendleton writes that they will have the stoles made in Bryn Athyn and present them to the candidates as gifts from the General Church. Pendleton will consider Tilson’s suggestion of hosting a “rousing missionary meeting” at the Assembly. Pendleton also discusses the appropriate invitation to extend to Mr. Sexton and others. He inquires about the “sign of the times” in England and notes that “old scandals” are being stirred up with both Convention and Conference. Rev. Mr. Hall and the Conference Council have “charitably refused” to advertise the General Church meetings. In Bryn Athyn, Pendleton reports that they were all greatly moved by Bishop DeCharms’ recent ordination into the 3rd degree. He writes, “Nothing has so profoundly affected our people since the dedication.” Names mentioned: Bishop DeCharms (George DeCharms), Mr. Sexton (George Alexander Sexton?), Rev. Mr. Hall (Rev. Charles Albert Hall?)
