To either of the constables ...

2. To hear the report of the auditor and other Parish officers
3. To choose necessary Parish officers
4. To see what method the Parish will take to supply their pulpit
5. To authorize the treasurer to hire money to pay all demands

I suppose it is generally known that I have withdrawn my resignation of this pastorate of the church I have decided to remain another year. This opens the way to reply to the action of the Parish in relation to the supply of the pulpit and I would say that I accept the terms offered for the present year.
