These are young preachers who are
preaching their first year: Revs. Pier
son and Durr, characters passed and
continued in the work. Rev. Mr..
Pease did give good service until July
last, when he asked permission of his
presiding elder to go to Virginia and
marry a fair female there who held a
warm place in his heart. The prcsid-
ing elder could not give him permits
sion and he went anyhow, because the
Bible says for man TO marry, multiply
and replenish the earth. a motion to
pass his character met with some OPP
position, and on motion of his presid-
ing elder the case was postponed till
tomorrow. Rev. Mr.. Thomas char
actcr was passed and he was continued
in the class Of the first year.
