Clancy In Trouble.

SAS-AAGy IN AEOooAc.
Most OF our city readers will no doubt
recollect a preacher by the name OF
"Reyerend' Geo. Clancy, who, until
recently, held forth as pastor of the
Methodist Protestant Church of Mount
Vernon he was \ very sleek, oil
-tongued individual. This brother Clan
cy, while engaged in the cause of 'iGod
and humanity" was in the habit, il
seems, of making love to some of the
"lambs of his hOck,'' and taking lib
critics with, and offering insults To them
that lily accorded with his profession
as Christian teacher. These acts the
lambs Aforesaid made known to their
husbands and fathers, and Brother
Clancy was duly called to account. OF
course he strenuously and indignautly
denied the accusations, and q commit.
tee was appointed 70 investigate the
matter and report the result. This
committee, which consisted of brothers
G. W. Burns and Benz. F. Morris, made
a report adverse to brother Clancy,
which was forwarded to the Church
organ, but the editor, wishing to screen
brother Clancy, refused TO publish II.
The case was brought before the Con-
ference OF the church, which met at
PennsTille, Morgan county, last Sep
tember, and the charges and specffica-
tions against Brother Clancy, are now
published in pamphlet form, with the
minutes of the Conference. That our
readers may see the charges against
this wolf in sleeps clothing" I" We give
them to the public, as follows
To the President Of the ALsLia0unl An.
IlttGL Conference, Methodist Protestant
Church:
"we charge George CIaneey, minis
terial member of the MuskinSum An
nuaI Conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church, with unministerial
and unchristisn conduct, such as is
condemned by the word OF God as suf-
icient TO exclude man from the king
dom of grace and glory.
