Pastoral visitation is attended with a new |
peril in Texas. 1t is not the langnishing love |
# the fair but frail feminine parishioner
which thaeatens to put an end to ministerial |
Usefulness so much as more material dan
ger. According to the Dallas Commercial, the
'astor of fashionable church called on II
lewl y-arriyed business man at his office, vel
omed him, and invited his wife to call at
he parsonage and have a good time. The
business man, with that indecision OF charac-
er which business men show in spiritual mat
ers, said "that would be all right, and the
reacher went his way. He found out his new
riends residence, and in the absence of the
usband made pastoral visit" The lady
the house asked him his business. He
AID he came on an errand of mercy and
eace. She seid she didn't approve Of gen. a
emen visitors in her husbands absence, and
e replied that he was clergyman and above
lspicion, and sat down. She said she didn't
now about that, and wasn't going to risk
nything. And when he found the revolver S
nder his nose was absolutely loaded and
ocked, he thought he wouldn't anything -
ther. and obeyed her mandate to get out
there with singleness of purpose con-
stent with a Christian life. and gymnastic
at that would have gained him national i
putation in the sawdust ring. c
From the statement of the British authori =
as the manufactured tobacco imported into v
