A WORD FROM REV MR. BRUSH

A WORD FROM REV MR. BRUSH.
Rev Edwin It. Brush, who was ap-
pointed to the passionate OF the Roxbury
Methodist church, on April 6, as "sup-
ply" has resigned the charge in order to
accept an appointment in the Vermont
Conference. rendered him on Friday last,
by Bishop Vincent. Mr. Brush wishes it
to be understood that he leaves Roxbury
so soon after his appointment here, only
because the offer of Bishop Vincent in
cluded transfer into that Conference.
He was, until now, q member Of the
Upper Iowa Conference, and has been
anxious for the past two years to gain
admission into an Eastern Conference.
Finding the New York East Conference
so overcr owded that transfer into it
was impossible, he felt impelled to &C.
cept the opportunity now opened. Mr.
Btush's brief passionate here is terminal
ed with regrets on both sides, and he de-
sires to avail himself of this opportunity
to publicly express his appreciation of
the kindness and courtesy extended by
the people of Roxbury, which were by
no means confined to the members of his
own church.
