was continual dread IN the Office among those
who know OF his guilt lest some message should

was hitch somewhere, for which no one youch-
safed an explanation. The Rev. Edward Deocher
In tho opening prayer asked that the elements
Of alienation and difference In the Congrega-

was construed by some to reveal the cause Of
