We find in the Springfield Republican the
following concerning the action Of the recent
ecclesiastical council at Richmond, Vt.
The council voted. with but ono dissentient,
not to ordain the nameless brother, not for

consider the practice of ordaIning Young
men as evangelists OF without pastoral charge,
injurious both 70 the ministry and the

disappointed, and questions by what pIinci-
