Casteel was declared Moderator, and Bake
Pasha, the publican, Chief Scribe. Now tn
battle of ssjawbones" began. Bedort and BIZ
chief servants wanted Hardy expelled from
the Synagogue, because he had been preach
ing for the exiles and uncircumcised dowr
in the Kingdom of Lowe. Now, Chief Har.
dy was 10th to leave, and Thomas, his right.
hand supporter, said if Hardy went, he
| would not stay.
So the battle waxed warm. Finally, the
Moderator decided that Hardy must stay.
This was the first round.
Now, amid intense silence, the Chief Scribe
| read the charges against Bro. Jefferson,
Hartman, and one of the Chief Musicians.
| The charges were in substance as follows
whereas, Jefferson, Hartman, and enc of
the Musicians, have walked disorderly: 1st,
by refusing to hear the High Priest preach !;
| I'd, by saying that Amaleck, the exile, was
good man, and writing such to Liberty over
beyond Jordan; Sd, for joining in with re-
spected people in a Union Sunday School;
4th, for extending the right hand of fellow
ship to the uncircumcised, in the Kingdom
of Lowe; 9TH, for claiming to have the right
| to think for themselves and for refusing to
let the ''only true" choose for them; 9th, for
not paying tithes into the treasury of the
High Priest; eth, for hearing Hardy preach.
(Signed) SERVANTS OF HIGH PRIEST"
Now, as all the above are all sins against
the only true. it is hoped by Israel that the
Council of War will Stay he three aliens
But when they heard all the evidence, they
brought in verdict of acollittal
Now, this enraged the High Priest and his
followers, in so much that they said that the
Council of War knew nothing about the mat
ter, and they were invited to step down and
out. Now, Jefferson presented some strong
points. and to the public be appears to be
an innocent man, hunted down by the ty-
ranny of Priest of the ''only true"
About this time, Bedott assembled the
throne, and in his usual way proceeded to
expel, by vote of his servants, Jefferson and
Hartman. The Chief Musician was allowed
another month to repent in, when she and
other aliens will be deoapitated in Israel's |
usual style.
The Council of War was no little hurt be- |
cause their advice was was not taken. How |
ever, as it was an act of a church who claims |
to be only right and infallible, and to hold |
the keys of the kingdom, they must learn to
bear it. Meantime, the faith of former wor-
shippers of the ''only true" has been con-
shaken, and the intelligent part of
the community think that if the system which
breeds SO much strife and trouble is .:the
only true church," Lord deliver us from it
Hardy, the chief of the eNiles, will now or
ganize and fortify In the eastern part of the
province, and every fellow will be expected
to stand upon his own mole hill.
1t was a sad sight, 0 Eli, to see tie Coun-
ell saddle their asses and ride off, singing
clark from the tombs
doleful sound,
NJ ears attsnd the cry;
Ye living Israelites, come view the
ground
Where you mast shortly lie"
Josephus fled to the mountain OF Hepsi-
lam, during the battle, and dwelt with the
yhang doodle; and for this information he
IS under many obligations to Babylonian.
Israel don't seem to like it, beloved, because
Josephus is pleased to chronicle events. But,
Kind Eli, it isn't the jokes that hurt Israel,
out the truth. 1t is their province to "m,gks
history; mine to write II IE;.
Remember, y Israel, your fair scribe in
close communion services. Cover my faults
With blanket of charity, for, with all thy
aults, I love thee a little! JosEPHUs,
