The Congregational church In shullsburg, Wis.,,
has taken bold step forward IN the right direction.
The pastor, Rev. A. VI. Dixon, ID. d., had been
holding meetings In an adjacent neghborhood,
and had received quite q number OF converts into
his church, who, living at too great distance
TO regular attendants, were recognized ~
branch church In that locality. Not being aDle To
supply both them and his church In town nr. Dixon
referred the matter to his church, which settled the
question in "a manner In accordance with Congreea-
tonal freedom, by selecting two men who were to
act "a lay preachers IN that and other destitute
settlements among the lead mines adjoining.
They Will read and study under the super.
vision Of DIR. Dixon, and talk, exhort and
preach as God shall give them ability, while
pursuing their daily secular employments At the
last communion season these brethren were So
lemny set apart by the church with prayer for this
special service. This example OF the church IN
Shullsburg shows how Christian work should be
done. Ii ministers cannot be found, then consecrae
laymcn. The best man that can be had is better
than none at all. There is no reason why Mctho-
dlsts should monopo4e the excellent Institution Of
local preachers.

hood induced the local magistrate TO summon
him and commit him TO answer the charge oil max
ing proselytes 10 the Protestant religion. Mr.. J.
Casses' trial came OF on the sd OF last month. Ten
OF the twelve witnesses gave evidence 10 prove that
lie as innocent OF the crime alleged To him. The
remaining two, who were not eye witnesses, simply
ran him down. There was therefore, no evidence
produced TO warrant his convection; ana n he had
been tried In any court OF real justice he would have
been released Immediately. But he was found guilty
and sentenced TO six years Punishment rom the
