METHODlSM IN MONT
PELIER.

As early as 1898, Montpelier was in
oluded in the Vershire circuit, which
was the first organized in Vermont,
in 1896, by Rev. Nicholas Southen.
In 1899, John Langdon, steward and
local preacher, records contribution
received from "Mont Pillar" toward
the expenses of the circuit. The book
containing this record was in the pos
session of the recording steward of
Corintn charge, the town adjoining
Vershire, in 1869, when the writer
had charge of the Montpelier district,
and it was examined by him. The
first preaching place in Montpelier was
probably at what is now called East
Montpelier Center.
Barre circuit was formed from part
of Verslire circuit in 1903, and this
circuit included Montpelier. There is
no mention of Montpelier as an appoint
ment until 1928, when Wilder Mack
and Henry Mayo were assigned to the
new appointment. The name does not
appear again till 1927, when the circuit
is called Barre and Montpelier, with
j. B. White, K. Jordan, and r. L.
Harvey as preachers. In 1928 Montpe-
