REV. W. M. WEEKS’ PASTORATE.

On the 8th of April, 1881, Mr. William M. Weeks, the pastor elect, was ordained by a Council called for that purpose, and inducted into the pastorate. This year revised rules of order were reported by a committee, and adopted by the Church. During the year the debt was reduced $1,600, of which amount $300 was raised by the Ladies’ Mite Society. The Weekly Offering system, which is still in use, was also adopted. At the end of a year Brother Weeks resigned the pastorate and returned to the United States.
