The Bangor COMMERCIAL prints a sketch
and portrait of John Wood Hatch, the new
presiding elder of the Bangor district, who
has taken up his residence in that city, after
serving three years as the pastor of the
Methodist church in Belfast. The Com
mercial says:
The appointment as presiding elder of the
Bangor district to Mr.. Hatch was entirely
unsolicited on his part in fact, he had ex-
pected that he would be returned to Belfast.
| 1t was the unanimous wish of almost the
entire conference that Mr.. Hatch be ap-
pointed and Bishop Warren said he had
never made an appointment before that had
been received with the approval that Mr.
Hatch's was. The new presiding elder is
very much pleased with the honor as it puts
him to work in almost the same field that
he began his duties as a pastor. The two
first charges that he had are now under his
direction and he has many dear friends in
almost every church of the district.
