Mr.. Cole will not return to Raleigh,
having served the four years limit.
During his term of service there have
been zoe accessions to the church, and
he has erected handsome new parson-
age, one of the finest in the State. He
has collected very nearly enough mon
ey to pay for it, and it is about in readi-
mes for the new pastor. Mr.. Cole goes
to Conference with the satisfaction of
leaving the church in excellent condi-
ton, good feeling prevailing between
all the members, and all the assess
ments for all causes being paid up in
full. 1t is four years record of which
any pastor might be proud.
