The Methodist church at Stamford.
VI, is in an anomalous position. 1t WAS
formerly connected with the Troy dis
trict in the Troy conference. At the
genera conference In 1880 it was placed
in the Burlington district, and with this
district placed in the Vermont confer
ence. 1t is quite remote from the
churches OF Burlington district, and has
no all !iatlon with the churches of the
Vermont conference. The presiding
elder of Burlington district does not
visit it or exercise any supervision over
it. The church asked the presiding
elder of Troy district to furnish them Il
supply and make quarterly visits TO
them, which he does. But he can not
send II member of Troy conference to
them, and must therefore provide some
one who is not Il member of the confer
ence. This year he has secured for them
Il lady supply, Miss +. II. Delevan.
She is reputed to b. Il most excellent
woman and Il talented preacher. She is
Il graduate of the Boston Theological
seminary. The Methodist church has
not made any provision for the ordina-
ton of women to the ministry. and
therefore, none have been ordained.
They are permitted to act as lay
preachers, however and such is Mss
Delevan. She is not. as has been stated
in the press, sent to Stamford by
authority of Troy conference, for the
conference has no authority over her or
the church. The arrangement is made
between her and the church, by the
assistance of the presiding elder of Troy
district, who, while not having any
official relation to this church. is Kindly
lending his aid to it until it shall be
again returned to Troy conference.
