Some uiinisters, who think “themselves above the medivcrity, if appointed to a place where the Salary is not 80 high as they. think their. abilities entitle them to, will “buck” and . sometimes threaten to _join ~—~anutherGonferenes, if this—or—that} charge is not assigned them: Othe ers, who have been one or two years in a place, (like Nevada City, tor instance, where the Church has al‘ways managed to pay all and more thao it has agreed to,) and have a good thing,are anxious tocome back « third. year—which is the limit; and althiough unpopular with nearly of the whole peuple, will acd ac the-Prosiding Elders to “work” for < them. ‘Thas they ofteagot the Bish-. cottainly the best ; ap to resappoint em to the same egation and members are ous for.a chagge. The itiner-' ancy inthe Methodist Church is the yreod foatire that distinguishes it iron any other religivus organizatia, believing that by a frequeat change tn ministers the cause of the Christian religion is butter subserved than by rewining a pastor an indefinite number of years. Two years used to be the limit, but now it is increased to three, The old rule is for it w minister is popular, and possesses the characteriglica of a good man, other clurchés ip different parts of the State sh: valid have a part of the benofit oftlity’ serviews. If, on the other hand, lieis@ man whose sermons ur conduct are calculated to deplete the congtogation ‘and ‘embarrass. the ‘financial as well as the spiritual _ status of the church te which be is e appointed; two years isa great sufficlopey tv be inflicted by such a preacher, Ilaving given a general statement of the modus ®perandi ot the Methodist Chureh ia the appointment of ministers, we will now say a few words relative to the late pastor of . * the church in this olty. Two years ago, when Rev, W.S. Urmy came here as Pastor, he was accorded a generous welcome by both membera and congregation, Matters went along very smoothly until his personalities and dictatorial course in. the pulpit caused a number.of his congregation to withdraw their pres-ence and support. The member' ship, too, Were Oppdsed to this style of argument being ysed to convert sinners from “the error of their ways;" but they stuck to their pustor and endeavored to smooth over the obstructions he was constantly putting in the way of religious success Gae Sunday he would give some ol Our business men & most -scattiing rebuke for. engaging in this or that line of business that d: d not suit him, and the nextSunday he would ask forgiveness of any one it he had offended them.’ The week following, perhaps, he’ would bur) his anathemds against ‘some other business man, accusing Lim indirectly of “bribery and corruption,” tlacre”’ to pay, the runing expenses “. tion, who. came «to the reseur;“the . relieve the Church in this city from ty which lad gone teto Niquidation; . ted in Tuesday's paper. until the number of empty benches wore painfully appasent, and the “Official Board’’ were taxed to their . utmost to get enoughot the “filthy ot the Church. We are credibly itt ladies of the church and congrega“grass would. have been very short” with him. ‘We understand, however, that his full sulary of $1,200 per annum was raised, . That Me. Urthy worked hard to its financial embarrassinent, no oO e acquainted with the circutnstances, will deny. But it must be borne io mind. that the heavy debt banging over the Charch—some $9,000—was 6wél to the Bank of Nevada Counand like the man who bought an elephant, the Directors of the Citizeus Bank, to whom the account after= + wards belonged, were willing to compromise on almost aby terms.— So the $9,000 debt was bought ‘for . about $3,000, which was-the amount Rev. Mr. Urmy and others. raised, aud. he, of course, is entitled to considerable -credit therefor. In taking a Lold position concerning this matter, we have endeavored to keep clearof assuming. anything that-cannot be readily. provea.We have‘done Mr._U. remy: no “‘injustice”’ ‘—inless the suppression of the abdve facts in. which all-are interested: in moré senses than ene, be considered just, Neither haa any tinge of ‘base course. If such an important mat‘ter-as this is’ to be ‘tabooed from the persoial interests (especially if they. be ofa pecuniary nature) of any individual, because percliance he hae ‘een educated for any particular sphere in lifeythen we think it high . tithe that a revolution occur.in ais lic opinion. — ~ aa Diligent enquiry has n made among the supporters of thechurek, and the result if we cannot learn . of a solitary ifdividual who-favors Mr. Ormy’s re-appointment. _Oa ‘the’ jother hand, there seems to. be ‘but a singie opinion, and it+is that he has @atlived his usefulness in sthis city. We fecvived no less than’ five communications yesterday every one of which upbeld the course we adopTwo. of them are herewith given :Ep. TRaNscr PT :—Permit me to say a few words io relation to what you stated in Tuesday's issue concerning Rev, W. 8. Urmy. As a member of the church over which he has-presided for two years. past, I endoree the reasopableness and truthfulness of -your assertion that, his re-appointment for a third year would partake of the nature of a-calamity. His dictatorial and dogmutic nature is so marked that he has uradually been growing in. disfavor with the public at large, as well as insidé the pales of our organization, While admittiny a beliet in ithe thee! ory advanced that he is conscientious, and endeavors to do right so far as his inborn impulses“direct, I believe it my duty to state that a long and intimate persona) acquaintance has lei me to place his capabilities for successfully presiding over our congreyation, at a painfully low standard. Respectfully, METHODIST. Ev, TRanscripr :—Dear Sir—In fustion to the Transcript, [ would like to state that your position concerning the pastorate of the M. E, belo of this city is universally endorsed by the public. I doubt not: you areabundantly able to meet any . {nisrepresentations of the real facts connected with the expressions of the congregation and of the people who attend the sanctuary occasion-, ally, The assertion that you have inflicted any injustice upon the reverend gentleman, is absurd. There aresome things that the less said about the better, ButI do not ree gard this as one of them. Had you remained silent, instead of displaying a due independence of character, the chances are that Rev. Mr. Urmy would have come back to us, As it is, he probably will not, Yours gratefully, Cc, A VALUABLE WORK, Mr, Walter Priew is meeting with first-class success in securing subscriptions for Dante's Inferno.

If such an important mat‘ter-as this is’ to be ‘tabooed from the persoial interests (especially if they. be ofa pecuniary nature) of any individual, because percliance he hae ‘een educated for any particular sphere in lifeythen we think it high . tithe that a revolution occur.in ais lic opinion. — ~ aa Diligent enquiry has n made among the supporters of thechurek, and the result if we cannot learn . of a solitary ifdividual who-favors Mr. Ormy’s re-appointment. _Oa ‘the’ jother hand, there seems to. be ‘but a singie opinion, and it+is that he has @atlived his usefulness in sthis city. We fecvived no less than’ five communications yesterday every one of which upbeld the course we adopTwo. of them are herewith given :Ep. TRaNscr PT :—Permit me to say a few words io relation to what you stated in Tuesday's issue concerning Rev, W. 8. Urmy. As a member of the church over which he has-presided for two years. past, I endoree the reasopableness and truthfulness of -your assertion that, his re-appointment for a third year would partake of the nature of a-calamity. His dictatorial and dogmutic nature is so marked that he has uradually been growing in. disfavor with the public at large, as well as insidé the pales of our organization, While admittiny a beliet in ithe thee! ory advanced that he is conscientious, and endeavors to do right so far as his inborn impulses“direct, I believe it my duty to state that a long and intimate persona) acquaintance has lei me to place his capabilities for successfully presiding over our congreyation, at a painfully low standard. Respectfully, METHODIST. Ev, TRanscripr :—Dear Sir—In fustion to the Transcript, [ would like to state that your position concerning the pastorate of the M. E, belo of this city is universally endorsed by the public. I doubt not: you areabundantly able to meet any . {nisrepresentations of the real facts connected with the expressions of the congregation and of the people who attend the sanctuary occasion-, ally, The assertion that you have inflicted any injustice upon the reverend gentleman, is absurd. There aresome things that the less said about the better, ButI do not ree gard this as one of them. Had you remained silent, instead of displaying a due independence of character, the chances are that Rev. Mr. Urmy would have come back to us, As it is, he probably will not, Yours gratefully, Cc, A VALUABLE WORK, Mr, Walter Priew is meeting with first-class success in securing subscriptions for Dante's Inferno. It is a work that every admirer of art and literature should be in possession of, comprising as it does a description of men, their deserts and punishments; of supréme happiness ‘and utter misery.
