vile, but were overruled, and Huffman came.
He was soon accused of improper conduct to-
ward the women of the church, and several laid
their shame at his door. He had an
unaccountable influence the ignorant
portion of the congregation, however. and
managed to hold on. II was announced

sermon until to night The church tonight

and an angry mob surged outside the building
Huffman, the advice of friends did not

turned, and Huffman fed TO the church He
escaped through back window, but the crowd,
thinking he is Inside, are still there, threaten
ing to burn the hause to get at him.
