Your Pastor, JAMES HOLMES."
An ecclesiastical council convened Feb. 16, 1869, voted to dissolve the pastoral relation and
"Resolved that we have ever found in Rev. James Holmes a conscientious sympathetic Christian brother and friend, that he has our cordial esteem as a faithful useful Christian minister, and that the record of his twenty-three years ministry in this place is such as to recommend him to the confidence of the churches.
"Resolved that this church has our sympathy in these circum- stances. We regret the seeming necessity for the dismission of their Pastor after so long and useful service among them."
He found à church of thirty members and at the close of his pastorate there were sixty-nine. He received ninety-seven to member- ship in the church.
He was deeply interested in social and moral reforms and in all those things that he considered to be for the welfare of the community. He was superintending school committee for a long time, a good farmer, and a good citizen.
He was decided in his religious ideas, but respected the right of others to look upon things from a different point of view.
He rested until Nov., 1869, when he went to Bennington, where he was pastor until February, 1882. He died in Bennington, Aug. II, 1888, his wife having died in 1886.
REV. J. L. ARMS came in April, 1869, and remained until April, 1871, when he gave up the active work of the ministry on account of poor health.
During his ministry the articles of faith were revised and abbre- vviated as he considered them too lengthy, and they were printed. He received five members upon confession of faith. He died in Nashua,

He preached in Farmington, Lawrence, and other places after he left Auburn, and is employed in social service work in Boston, preaching, as well, in Saxonville, Mass.
REV. JOHN B. ROOT, May, 1914 to Oct., 1918. He was drafted and called to the training camp where he remained until the summer of 1919. The people esteemed him very highly, and were sorry to have him go. He received one member upon confession.
In March, 1919, arrangements were made to have one minister supply the M. E. churches in Auburn and Chester and this church. In Apr., 1919, the M. E. Conference sent Rev. Carroll L. Carter to be our pastor. He was a man of fine Christian spirit, and highly esteemed by our people, but in the spring of 1920 the Conference saw fit to make a change and sent Rev. Theodore C. Radoslavoff to us and also in the spring of 1921 they returned him to us.
He is a man of life and energy who likes to see the work prosper, and we must say that the Conference has sent us two good ministers.
