my name appeared asa principal in, the q1arrel
have had no trouble whatever, except that |
have not been paid for my labor and material
furnished for the build ng of the church The
committee and the coDgreg alton have had some
difhcnlty; and think the minister Is to blame
ana Is the cause OF ali the trouble.
The facts Of the case are these; About eiyh.
teen months ago | made a contract TO build a
church in Alexandra county for the sum Of 81 500
The contract was made with the building com
nittee, Messrs Stuart, Lacy, and Corbitt full
nlled my agreement; and the congregation have
had the use Of the church for more than wear
IN an unfinished state, IL not having been faished
for want Of means
The committee have done all in their power to
raise Iunds TO pay me tbs balance que on my con-
track. have not asked for one cent extra, and
only requested the money as far as I have fur
nisned the work and material. When the gen
ga, conference met last spring, new minister
was appointed. and for the rst time an objection
was raised that the committee had made TOO lib
eiai contract, although made with the consent
OF the previous minister and Of Mrs Hunter
Tue present minister wished to have the work
measured, and the committee called on me and
quested to have IL for the satisfaction of all par
consented, and Mr.. Price, OF alexandria
va sent Tor (by the minister, who advised hi III,

~. not 10 have IL measured, as 10 would

for me TO choose one Of the parties to the arbitfa
