the Methodist churches of the State
have been unable TO elect their trus-
tees, but have been compelled to accep
trustees appointed by the pastor or
presiding elder. The law of TWO years
ago, SAN act in relation to religious
societies" simply dinects the various
church societies to elect gheir trustees
i'm accordance with their church laws
and as the Methodist discipline calls
for the election of ftrustees by the
pastor or elder, in order ITO avoid the
failure of congregations i'm small places
TO elect, the bigger churches which
have large congregational meeting
were thus deprived of manning their
trustees by ballot.
