Mr. EDIToR;-You will please allow me
small space in reply, to u communion,
tion signed Justice. which appeared in
your issue of March 2ith, 1897, in which
Justice sets out to give some facts (as he
states)in regard to Mt. Lebanon M. K
Church. 1t is well he used the word some
as his communication only contained
some facts, and some other things which
were not facts. l have always opposed
family difficulties and church chickering's,
and no Christian gentleman should or
would have paraded this matter before
the public The house and grounds
which for several years past, and at the
present time are Il sci for the parsonage CT
The church, belong to the Messrs, DUPONT
ItiIso situated (by way Of the public
roads) about one mile from the church ;
and is rented for a parsonage for SOD per
annuln. We now are one year in arrears
for rent, therefore, the official Board of
said church thought it would be much
cheaper to buy the Jones house and lot,
(which 1t was proposed TO purchase) for a
parsonage. It's Immediately opposite the
Church and not over 2y0 feet therefrom.
This property Is now in the market for
sale; and the Board were fearful that 1t
would fall into the hands Of one who
would FIJI tho house with Italians.
BY tho Trustees purchasing this proper.
tv, the Society would have saved about
500 year in rent. The matter Of the pur-
chase of this property and neatly lifting 1t
up us parsonage has been under consid-
Grafton for four or five weeks past. 1t was
BROUGHT up before tho Official Board of
said church and the whole Board with one
single exception were in favor of purchas-
ing the Jones property for parsonage
and many Of the business men who are
members of the church, and Others who
attend service regularly therein, and con-
tribute to tho support of the church, also
favored the movement to purchase tha
Jones property. But Justice in his article
says Nobody bnt few were In favcr of
buying it,"
The Jones property il brougt would be
very convenient for he past0r's family to
get to church, which has not been the
case for tho past two years at least; as the
parsonage las above stately Is about one
mile distant from the church, Now in re.
gard to the Jouts house, it is time 1t had
some repairs. and it Is now under con-
tract for repairs. This Jones house was
the boarding house for two years Of tho
Rev. Thomas B. Hunter, then the pastor
of said church. 1t was also the boarding
house of the Rev. L. Jewell and wife.
whilo Mr., Jewell was the pastor ol this
church.
"I as an official member Of Board, have
attended the meetings of the Quarterly
Conference of Mount Lebanon NJ. <.

Elder Of the Wilmington District, on
more than one occasion in this same

facts in defense Of the Board Of Trustees
