Last Sunday evening. Rev. Madely
preached bis last sermon to his con
gregation, and his last sermon as a
Methodist clergyman. This will be a
mutter of great surprise to many of our
readers who know the reverend apd
have learned to love him for his ster
ling qualities, b >th as a pulpit orator
and as a wholesouled Christian gem Io
nian. Rev. Madely left for conference
at Iloldreage this state, Tuesday morn
mng, where he goes to surrender his
credentials as a Methodist minister,
and will cast his fortunes with the
Presbyterian denomination, for whom
he will preach hereafter. Rev. Made
ly has taken this step only after mature
consideration and when one knows his
reasons therefor,they cannot blame him
in the least. He has been a Methodist
minister for sixteen years, and one of
the best pulpit orators and active work
ers in the church, but having been
raised under Presbyterian admonitions
and with that belief inculcated in
him from boyhood, he could never
wean himself from its teachings, and
is one of th; strong reasons for the
contemplated change. Then again he
has never felt satisfied with some of
theforms of government of the Metho
dist which is auother cogjnt reason for
his change of base. The writer at this
time desires to add to the feelings of
his large number of personal friends
a sorrow that he is not to be with us
any longer, but honors him for doing as
his conscience dictates. He has been
pastor of the Methodist congregation
here for the past four years, and we
believe we are safe in saying that no
man has made more or warmer friends
during alike period than he,and with
one and all wish him the utmost sue*
cess w4erever he may cast his lines.
