Some rare parchme are In the posses
zion of Rev. II. +. Forrest of the Methodist
church Of Chelsea. They ara the ordina-
ton parchments of his grandfather, Rev.
Jonathan Forrest, who was present at tho
famous Christmas conference, though not as
a msmber. One parchment, the one Tor
deacou's orders, is in the handwriting of
Bishop Asbury, dated September 4, 1887,
and signed by Bishop Asbury. The other
is that of elders orders, dated May Z. 1879,
and is in the handwriting OF Bishop
Coke and signed by Bishops Coke and
Asbury. The parchment itself is rather
crude 80 far as finish is concerned. One
edge of one of them is not 30 much as trim
med, but is left to follow the unsvenness of
the original skin. The wax OF the seals has
the initials of the bishops in monogram.
These parchments are przed very highly by
the owner and his family.
