We have known ministers to be driven from
their pulpits with insults from their congre,

church where politics ran 80 high, thai elders
refused TO attend the ministrations of the
minister suspected Of disloyalty.

we'll as private members, to forsaks attend

outward show of holy living, and betake them.

who, in their zeal 10 forward the cause of 70

abuse and insult Union soldiers and others

satisfaction Of saving the lives OF nine per-
sons, including that of a woman, who lay
half drowned in corner of the wreck, with
the stfsned corpses Of her two children in
her arms. This noble deed brought honors
upon Grace and ber father from every quar-
