Conference expressed by resolution almost
unanimously OIL the first day of its session, re-
fused to accept Mr. Hnrglycs, the church flns
shut its doors against Mr.. Reeve, who was sent

icully: one church has the same right as aonther

the credit of the sanctiticd clique who preferred
them. The church owed the preacher $500, and
n minority Of the Board of Trustees gave him Il
church nnte for the amount. He used it for his:
living, and when It bcca1ne due it was allowed to
go to protest. Suit wns begun by the holder.

IL minority, who CT itle in cheating min
