I ate dation ready to hand.p a sorry more good has not been done dur- ing my stay here. I have nothing but the best of fceltug towards all here, al- though, some have not treated me the same, but on the contrary have worked and talked falsely against me. One charge against me was that I am t00 much of a money grab and to prove this is false, after I had been on the etr suit some time, an official brother from another circuit intimated to me that I could get $100 more on another circuit. My reply was, no, I have carne to the Creditau circuit to stay my full term if I can get along, I am not preaching for money. At a district meeting i0 Elim. ville, (I think that was the place) it was proposed to send a man to the cir- cuit to speak in behalf of the finances, at which meeting I arose and said I thiol: it will do harm to do so. I will attend to that matter myself, if you will conseat to leave it with me. They did so, and I called a meeting at Sharon to bring -the matter before the people. There were some eavedroppers outside, and they reported that ' Yel• land said if he did not get his $700 be would not stay.' This is as big a lie as was ever told by the devil himself. The finances of the circuit are so poor that Brother Stevens told me he was ashamed to attend the district meeting and that for some years the circuit bad not been represented at such meetings. At a district meeting in Heusall, Bro- ther Trevethick had received such a lecture from the chairman of the dis- trict, regarding the finances of the cir- cuit that I feel safe in saying Brother Trevethick will not be your represen- tative again very soon " We write the above that the intel- ligent public may judge for them- selves as to the insinuations and mis- representation contained in our article last week. better condition than they had been be•x. fore.—I:e.1. 0.
