Methodist church at this place for the past
UnTee years, has Deen sent Dy tne conference
| to Trinity church, Savannah. This ap-
| pointment is one of the most important
charges belonging to the conference, and is
| usually filled by the most able ministers of
the church. 1t is therefore high compliment
| to Mr.. McCleskey. The people of Waynes-
boro give up Mr.. McCleskey with much
reluctance. During his three years pas
| torate he has dawn closely around him the
| love and respect of his entire congregation
He has been an ardent and untirinp worker
| in the cause of his Master, and he can carry
with him the comforting reflection that his
people believe that he knew his duty and
| did it. He leaves no enemies; he has sown
no tares, but has comforted many Borrowing
hearts, and both by precept and example
| has illustrated his faith and his devotion to
