In the history of Bedford, n. H., pub
lshed by the town in 1851, the name of
John BOies appears AS one OF the one
hundred men who signed the "Associa-
ton Test in April, l776, indicating his

He was a soldier of the Revolution, en-
listing in March III, in his sixteenth

The Rev. DIR. McDowelI.

Referring to several Of the more prom
inent ministers of the Baltimore Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
the NetCs has the following to say of the
Rev. DIR. Mcdowell, of the First Nj. +.
Church, of this city: THE Rev, w. l..
Mcdowell is one OF the most promising
young'members of the Conference. From
his entrance in 1881, he seemed to take
the people, and his eye-teeth were not
cut on country circuits as is usually the
case. DR.. Mcdowell has had some Of
the hest appointments member of the
body could have, and has earned them
10y his talents. He is a deep student, hav-
ing completed recently special course
in Johns Hopkins University, and is one
of the Conference Board of Examiners.
His manner is bright and attractive, and
his sermons eyince careful study. He
has prospered III every appointment he
has eld and at the close of his term Of
service has always been missed by those
whom he has served. 1t is estimated
that he may come TO Broadway to stay
longer than the adjournment of the Con.
ference, as both his term and the Rev.
DIR. Frances. the present pastor of the
Broadway Church, have expired by limi-
tation. DR.. Mcdowell has been statis-
teal secretary of the Conferencefors some
wears.
