Description
Marley (Marlay) was recently appointed presiding elder of the Chillicothe District. He writes to Finley, currently serving as presiding elder of the Dayton District, about his new position. He had difficulty finding a house for himself and his family, but thanks to the efforts of Brother Andrew McNeal, a home has been rented for him in Frankfort. He has attended quarterly meetings at Chillicothe, Piketon, Portsmouth, Brush Creek, West Union, Hillsborough and Washington. He confides in Finley that he might not be well suited for the work of presiding elder, but resolves to do his best. He asks Finley for clarification regarding charges of mal-administration. Who decides a case -- the chair or the conference? Abstract Number - 102
