before he came 70 America. He con-
unued his preaching while working at
his trade here. md in time began to act
as a supply in the Unitarian Church. 1t
was about then he discovered that he did
not believe ia many Methodist doctrines
He would not preach total depravity nor
eternal damnatOn, and he was also
shaky in regard to the Trinity. The
Methodists learned this. and at one Of
their quarterly conferences took him 70
task for his loose doctrinal statements.
They asked him II he did not think he
was out 90 place in the Methodist Church.

II was shortly after this that DR.. Coll

need for a preacher of that church in
Chicago who could act not only as
temporary supply, but also labor among
the poor and teach q night school. The
name Of this young blacksmith was sug-
gested and the result was that he went
20 Chicago.
DIR. Collyer says that his blacksmith
employer was disguised at his leaving.
and that he told him ne would keep HIS
anvil ready for him for one year. for ne
knew that he would come back. Upon
