CHURCH COUNCIL.-A Council call
ID :. by the Congregational Church in
[rasburgh to consider the request of
Rev. j. HI. Woodward fol. dismission,
net on Tuesday. The Churches in
Barton, Craftsbury, Coventry and
Glover were represented, and Rev.
P. 81. White, of Coventry, was chosen
Moderator and Rev. VIM. A. Robin
son, of Barton, Scribe.
After full hearing of the case the
council adopted the following result;
The Council do not find anything
in the relations between Mr.. Wood
ward and this Church and Society at
all calculated to weaken the bond be-
tween them. On the contrary, they
find, both on his part and theirs, every
evidence of the most kind and friend
" feeling. The Church and Society
have shown a unanimity, nearly or
quite perfect, in desiring him to con-
tinue in the pastorate, a hearty appre-
citation of his fidelity and ability as
minister, and cheerful willingness
to do all that can reasonably be ex-
pected for his support. He expresses
toward them the most cordial affec
ton, and has no accusations to make
of any delinquency on their part.
The Council, therefore, taking into
consideration the fewness OF its num-
bers and the magnitude o. the respQn-
sibility involved in the decision, de-
cline to advise the sundering at this
time the pastoral relation.
They sincerely hope that the facts
elected before the Council as to the
feeling of this Church, Society and
community toward Mr.. Woodward
may induce him to change his design
and cordially remain in his present
field. -.
