AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Methodist Episcopal.
The Rev. Theodore La Rue, recently
appointed Chaplain at Snake Hill, was
one of the few appointments made by
the Board of Freeholders, receiving the
unanimous approval of the caucus. Mr..
La Rue well deserves the appointment,
as he is fully qualified for the position,
and has been interested in the welfare
of the u~nfortunates at Snake Hill nigh
unto ten years. For four years he as
| sisted the Rev.. E. Souper, the County
Chaplain without any enumeration.
When this good man died, Mr.. La Rue
assume the position, n performed
his duties with irreproachable faithful
| ness, and to the satisfaction of every
one for five years. AT the expiration of
his term in 1893, the Rev. E. A. Meury,
the Pastor of the German Reformed
Church on Central avenue was appointed
in his place. Mr.. La Rue and his friends
felt greatly chagrined over his unexpec-
ted removal, specially as there were no
charges for direlection of duty. The
Newark NJ. E. Conference took up his
case, as was exclusively told in The
News ct the time. Friends interceded
in his behalf, and a number of leading
clergymen and influential citizens pc
titioned the Board for his reinstate-
| ment. As it was the policy of the old
employees after their terms expired last
umner it was left for the incoming
board to take action in the matter. A
few weeks ago Mr.. La Rue was rein
creatures in the Aims House were glad
to see him back. Here is the scheme
It viii be seen that he has to hustle.
