at the famous Christmas conference, tho.
not as a member. One parehment-the
one for deacon's orders-is in the hand
writing Of Bishop Asbury, dated sept. J.,
1876. and signed by Bishop Asbury. The
other is that of elders orders, dated May
I. 17s9, and Is in the handwriting OF Blsh-
CD Coke and is signed by Bishops Coke
and Asbury. The parchment itself IS
rather crude so far as finish is concerned.
One edge of it is not SO much as TRIM
med but is left to follow the unevenness
Of the original skin. The wax OF the seals
has the initials of the bishops in mono
gram. These psrchments are priced very
highly by the owner and his family--Bur-
lington Free Press.
