Bishop Asbury had sat with his eyes nearly shut. After they were received he seemed to wake up. " Yes, yes ! " he exclaimed ; " in all probability they both will disgrace you and themselves before the year is out. " And sure enough, in six months one was riding the circuit with a loaded pistol and a dirk, threatening to shoot and stab ...the rowdies ; the other was guilty of a misdemeanour, and in less than nine months they were both out of the Church.

I was returned to the Green River District. Our increase oi members or preachers in the Ohio and Tennessee Conferences was but small this year, though we had some increase.
