tanned the .harge and he was commit

! mittee, which reviewed the entire case
| and came to the unanimous conclusion
| that there was nothing to warrant dis
| cipline and that it was in all proba-
bility spite work and nothing else. The
! Rev. Mr.. Perrys character has prev.
iously been good and the trouble i:
| thought to have arisen because ne
| wanted to build new church at Mon
1 mouth, and one of his members object
A ed and worked up this case in order tt
get Perry into trouble.
