REVIEWING HRoBERT ELSMEREe Cleveland Clergymen Discuss It and Give Some Idea Of Reading In That TOWna
 The Methodist ministers of this city held secret meeting in the study of the first M E. church recently, for the purpose of dis eussing the much mooted novel, "Robert Elsmere," and some of the'opinions are as follows:
 ''The debate between Robert and the Squire" said the Rev. Mir. Endley' Sis one of the weakest pieces of literary work have ever seen."
 'I have read one novel in my life, said the Rev. Dr. Brewer. 'I have waded through those seven hundred mortal pages of Robert Elsmere,' and if God Almighty will forgive me for it I'll never read another"
 '1, for one, feel stronger in my belief since reading Robert Elsmere,'" said the Rev. Dr. Smith, ':than did before. Mrs. Ward shows that he was as happy as any man that ever lived, until he forsook Chris. tianity, after which he became miserable, in which condition he died"
 "A lady of my acquaintance (and one too who occupies high social position) was com pletely surprised when asked her, alter she had finished the book, what she had thought of Mrs. Wards religious doctrines," said the Rev. R. M. Freshwater. Why she said, T didn't notice anything particular about re- 1igion in it. read the book for the story How many novel readers" continued Rev. Mir. Freshwater. tread book for anything but the storya Not one out of every thou sand"
 Rev. J. W. Campbell was of the opinion that the work shonld be taken up by the ministers. He believed in "hitting the devil between the eyes whenever he arose to attack Christianity, and showing the people that they were not afraid of him."
 Then the ministers passed resolutions that no report of the meeting should be given to either the secular or religious press and ad- journed. Press.

Two Sisters Separated In Childhood
 Meet In WomanhoOd.
 Two sisters were reunited recently in this city who had been separated since early child- hood. Some fifteen years ago daughter was born to Mrs. Leonard Clark of Wood- bridge and shortly after the mother died, and the little one with it's sister, whose age was less than two years, was taken by the father to his relatives. Ruth, as the younger sister was called, was given into the care of her grandmother, Mrs. Nancy Hine of Woodbridge. Emma, the elder sister, was adopted by Henry Barnes of Fair Haven, with whom she lived until she was ten years of age, when at the death of Mrs. Barnes Mr. Barnes paid for her board at the home of his sister and her husband, MT. and Mrs. Van- sleet. When this family circle was broken by death Mir. Barnes provided another home for his adopted daughter in the family of his brother. MT. Barnes has given his daughter, who was named Bertha, liberal education, as she attended school until recently. Miss Barnes is at present employed by Howe & Stetson, where she commenced her duties during the present holiday season.
 The two sisters lived for nearly a score of years quite near each other but have never met until recently, when they were brought together by relatives.
