Bloomington Union Dodge church
circuit, a fact which will please his
many friends and Pensioners in this
vicinity. According to reports there
are not enough ministers in the state
to fill the appointments. The young
ministers are few in number and are
all requisitioned to fill situations
left vacant by the death and resigna-

The young men of today do not
turn towards the ministry as a voca-
ton.
