WHITE RIVER JUNCTION.

Considerable feeling Is being shown here
by members and non-members of the
Methodist Episcopal church over the
contemplated change In minister's The
Montpelier people. 1t is understood, are
anxious to have the Rev. Andrew Gillles
who has been preaching here for the past
year. transferred to that charge. Some
say the time has come for an independent
church while others will withdraw their
support and go to other denomina tons
should the change be made Mr.. Gillies
has been very successful in his work is n
bright young man, an earnest worker an
eloquent preacher. Both he and his wife
have many devoted friends in this place
who sincerely hope that no change will be
made; from the first Sunday the church
has been filled at morning and evening
services and should the Vermont confer
ence remove him at this time. II would
certainly be against his own and the peo-
Pies wishes, and would certainly be detr-
mental to the very successful work now
going on and possibly be the means of
general breaking up OF the society.
