Description
Rev. Asa Stroud is currently appointed to the Eaton Circuit, Lebanon District, under Presiding Elder James B. Finley. While on a journey, Stroud writes to advise Finley about an issue in the Eaton Society. One of the members, Sister Sheets, was accused of lying and found guilty in a hasty church trial. She was subsequently expelled from the society by Stroud. He has since learned that Sister Sheets intends to appeal her case at the next quarterly conference. After examining the facts, Stroud now believes that the guilty verdict was wrong. He would like to refer the case back to the Eaton Society for a new trial. Abstract Number - 191
