There has been considerable trouble at Greenwood the past week over Methodist Church affairs in that city. The trouble commenced, however, last winter, when G. C. Andrews and Mr. Hunt withdrew from the church. The minister, who was an importation from Canada, has how been there about two years. The first year he was sent there as a "supply,"’ but last year he was received into the conference on probation, sent back for a year, and last Saturday was the day appointed for passing upon his character, and if found OK was to be received into full fellowship. The presiding elder was present to hold Quarterly meeting and listen to reports as to his standing in order to make him a fixture if found correct. But his astonishment can be better imagined then described, when Mr. Rayson confessed without any seeming cause, to indiscriminate adultery with a large number of the ewes of his flock. On Monday a church trial was held and he was quicly deposed from his priesthood. It is a sad condition of affairs. Mr. Rayson was a man of about thirty years, fine looking and would weight about 190 lbs. From his confession, he is evidently a master.
