- presbyter'' OF the protestant Episcopal church,
applied for admission to presbytery, and was

church government. and after answering in the
nflrmative the questions put to candidates at
their ordination, he was received and his name
enrolled as u member OF the Presbytery. This

anu searching, proved eminently satisfactory.
AMI with hearty good will the moderator and
prethren extended the right hand of fellowship.

especially the statement that there was not only
asoou neid. but great need for two men instead
Oh one anu that with some help from the Pres
DS'efy Tor a year or tive both parts of the field
would probably become self sustaining. The
ffesoyterlal was directed to divide
