THE ALBEMARLE MEMORIAL. 20 e.
Rev. Mr.. Norton presented the report of
the committee to whom was referred the
memorial from the yestry of St.zPauPs s.
church, Aibemarle,, touching the right of
allowing other denominations to use their
house Of worship without the consent Of the
rector. The committee thought the Council
had no Jurisdiction in the case, and re-
spectfully recommended to the rector and
his yestry the Importance OF sober-second-
thought, and suggested the reference of the
whole matter to an umpire as the best tmode
of obtaining o settlement. -z.1e .1ss Ya
Mr.. Colston, who presented the memorial,
opposed the approval by the Council of the
report of the committee. He felt that un-
less some decision, was made the strength
Of the Episcopal Church in his county
would be greatly impaired. The people
would insist that the policy of the Church
in such cases should be distinctly made
known. They wished to know whether or
not other denominations would be allowed
to preach the Gospel in an Episcopal
church when that church was not in use by
the denomination to which it belonged. 81
After some further discussion the report
of the committee was approved by yethe
Council, and ordered to be spread upon the
Journal. s-S@ $3.50. ast.s
