had trouble with his congregation. The
announcement that ho intended to preach

in the course OF bis remarks he said: II

words created a profound sensation. Some
Of the Htalwart- farmers who attend the
church are so indignant 81 the reverend

actions that they threaten him with tar

pastors within the past twelve years, every
one Of whom had quarrel with the con
gregation. Notwithstanding it's series OF
troubles the church is to-day the richest
and mos! prosperous in the town. |
