W. l. Fee, Pastor of Wesley
Chapel, communicates the fol

with the temperance work in
this city:
One day a lawyer came to

Editors Of the Intelllgenecr:
Such is the cause which recent events
have forced upon the Episcopal Church
in this city and Diocese; and the opening
argument Of the counsel for the plaintiff
seems to have decided the case, in the
minds ot'many, even before calling the
witnesses on either side, and before the
defendant has been heard.
While this case is thus far but local in
It's character, we shall only summon local
witnesses, and close with q brief summing
up for the defense.
The witnesses for the prosecution are
quite numerous, and Of al! ages and cir
cumstances-some were even born" in
the Church-and as to "Vital piety," they
80 nearly absorb that commodity, so far
% 1t exists in their Church, that there Is
scarcely any left for the balance Of the
flock. They are nearly all "expert" wit
nesses, of wide information in all matters
involved in this case-haVe read the
EpiSc0pGlidn and secular papers; from
which they actually knoD that in St..
Adams Church IN. ", and in two or
three others, of the three thousand in the
country, they are rearing a little Pope.
True, they acknowledge that this Pope Is
still q gerry small one, although he has
been ,nouriShed and reared with the
tenderest care, for, 10 these twenty. odd
years, Yet they kR0U he will some day
attain the full stature of a Pope, and will
then force US all to confess our sins,
whether we have any or not; to kiss his
toe, and other horrible things without
number.
