Casting 'DeVII' out of ChuTch-A Methodist
Minister Arrested for Assnulting Dstilier
We are indebted to our friend J. NJ. FEELS, Of Ma
rietta, Ohio for the following graphic sketch. We
are assured that the facts ranspred substantially as
narrated
CA Methodist clergyman who has been lahoring
in this vicinity, not long since, preaching to his
people On the miraculous power of Apostles over the
demoniac spirits of their day. AS he was pursuing
his theme, the audience suddenly startled by a
voice from some one in the congregation, demanding,
in haf-queruous, half-authorative tone. Why
don't preachers do such things now Il days! In an
instant every eye in the house turned upon the
individual who had the efontery thus to eyade the
sacredness of the sanctuary.
The speaker paused for Il moment and fixed his
penetrating gaze full upon the face Of the ques-
toner There was interval of intense silence,
broken at last by the speaker in resumng his sub
ject. lie had not proceeded far with his remarks,
before he again interrupted by the same impertl-
nent inquiry. Again he paused for time, again
resumed his subject. Not content with silent
buke, redoubtable questioner demanded again,
WIZ don't the preachers do such things now a
days 2! and curling his lips with sheer of self COM
pIacency, drew himself up pompousy in his seat.
Our reverend friend, (who, by the way, is man
Of great muscular power) calmly left the desk and
walked deliberately to the pew, where the interro-
gator sat, and fastening one hand firmly upon the
collar of his coat and the other on the waistband OF
: his unmentonabes lifted him square of his
seat and bore him down the isle to the entrance
Pausing for moment there he then turn d his eyes
upon his audience aud in clear, full voice, said
and they out the devil in the form Of d3StIler,
and suiting the action 10 the word, out went the
knight Of the mush-tub IA leap freq fashion, into
the street
The good pastor quietly returned to his desk anc
completed his discourse. After closing the services
he passing out of the church, the out cast dis
tller with officer OF the law, escorted cerca
friend to the office of magistrate, to answer for ar
assault upon the person OF said distller After hear
ing the the magistrate dismissed the clergyman
, and after roundly reprimandng the complainant
n fined him for molesting the services OF the sanctuary
Since that day we believe he has never for a mo
ment doubted the power of the Methodist preacher
e to cast out devils, at least within the limits of h
n Ohio Conference"
