Bishop D. O. Allen who has
been bishop of that ward for the
last four years was called to the
position from Oakley and during
his administration has performed
a splendid work. In taking up
his labors in that place he found
considerable opposition from first
one then another, and at no time
was there any justification for
the apparent differences that
arose, other than that many OF
the people seemed to REBEL when
the discipline of the church was
enforced. a thing that Bishop
Allen was very particular in car
rying out, and through 1t he met
considerable opposition, and III
addition to this condition, his
health was failing him, oweing,
he believed, to the effect the wat
er had upon his system, conse-
quently the presidency felt it bet
ter to release him, which took
place last Sunday.
Bishop Allen has purchased a
home IN the Second Ward in Oak
ley where he will take up his
abode at once.
In his release the people OF Almc
lose their strongest man anc
one who is devoted to the calling
placed upon him, and the position
he has occupied SO faithfully, his
successor will hnd it one thai
cannot be filled without exercis
ing great amount OF energy
and determination.

vacancy were, Lorenzo Durfee
