Among the Churches

New York, 1895

Doings of the Various Religious Bodies Throughout the Island.

The congregation of the First church of Southold held a large meeting on Tuesday for the purpose of electing a pastor. This church was organized here on October 21, 1640. From 1851 to 1892 it was under the pastoral care of the Rev. Dr. Whitaker. It has now voted to call the Rev. James B. Freeman of St. Paul, Minn., to be its pastor.

The New York East Methodist conference, which embraces all Long Island, will meet at Stamford, Conn., on the 3rd of April, and will be presided over by Bishop Warren of Denver.

The religious revival which has been in progress at Babylon since the first week of January, ceased Monday evening with a monster song and praise service in the Presbyterian church.
