PULLED OUT OF THE PULPIT.
An Objectionable Pastor Attacked in the
Church.

BoSToN, July 17.-Church troubles
are Ofcommon occurrence in this section
just now, but it is not often that a pas
tor is forcibly elected from pulpit and
church. This is what happened last
cveningat City Point, a little country
village forming part ot the town Of
Quincy. The Rev. I. y. Allen has been
pastor Of the Baptist Church there
since last October. About five months
ago the ladies of the church held a
sociable, and feature of the evening
was the presentation to the pastor of
purse containing the munificent sum of
$40. Of course the pastor made a
speech, and in the course of his remarks
he said that was as much money as he
had received since he took charge of his
generous flock.
TO receive only SO in the course of
four months, out Of which to support
himself, wife and a horse was some
thing that needed investigation, and
Deacon Bills, who had charge Of the
finances OF the church, was called upon
by the Conference to give an account.
Brother Bills maintained that he had
paid the pastors 5000, but he could not
prove it, and so handed in his resigna-
ton. For a time money poured in upon
the pastor. His family lived in clover,
and the horses diet was changed from
tracts to hay. But the pastor failed to
give satisfaction, and his resignation
was asked for time and again. He de-
clincd to take the hint and contribu-
tions ceased. AS it became question
of starvation, Mr.. Allen yesterday
formally rendered his resignation, to
take effect Sunday next.
Then he made speech containing
insinuations against two prominent
members. Brothers Collier and Hard
wick were meant, and these gentlemen
resented the attack. They started for
the pulpit in a bcllicose mood, and
shook their fists in the parsons face,
using language that was not strictly
appropriate to the place. The parson
dropped into pugilistic attitude, and
fight was imminent, when one stalwart
member Of the church seized the pastor
by the coat collar and unceremoniotlsly
hustled him down the aisle and out Of
the church. Mr. Aliens farewell ser
mon on Sunday next is awaited with
interest by his congregation.

The Best Snake Story Yet.
From the Kansas City Times

From the Kansas City Times.]
While at neighbor's a few days ago
Mr.. George w. Fisher, of Independence,
Kan, heard a racket out in the kitchen,
and going out to investigate the cause,
found that large rattlesnake had
crawled into the kitchen and was
fastened in the handle of a Jug
in ! the following manner: There
were some eggs and a jug on the
floor when the snake crawied into the
house, and it swallowed one of the
eggs. and rs the jug was lying on its
side, had crawled through the handle
as far as the egg he had swallowed
would admitS and finding another egg
convenient as he crawled through the
handle of the jug, swallowed that egg
also, and as the egg was too large to
pass through the handle ofthe jug; Mr..
Snake was fastened so he could neither
move forward nor backward, there be-
ing an egg inside Of him on either side
Of the jug handle.

He Liked Exercise.
From the Troy Times.

y good story is related at the expense
Of 4 hotel proprietor Of Tacoma, WASH
ington Territory. \ stranger, who had
been stopping at the house for Il few
weeks, asked the proprietor how far it
was to Mount Rainier, which appeared
to be only couple OF miles distant,
although, in fact, it was nearly 100.
The proprietor winked at the bystand-
ers, and said that perhaps it WAS a mile
away. The boarder said he believed he
would walk out to it for exercise. The
landlord encouraged the 'tenderfoot,"
who, after borrowing the proprietor's
fine field glass, Immediately started.
The Joke was too rich for the hotel man
to keen, and he treated all hands. But
the pedestrian did not return. The
landlord at last became suspicious and
found that the valise which the "ten-
derfoot" had left was filled with brick
bats, and that he had carried off seven
teen towels and everything else that he
could get into his pockets, besides this
he owed 4 tw0-week's board bill. He
is probably still walking.

Saving the Preachers"
iSuuihcrn Christian Advocate.

Evangelist I.citc!l is Sill ut work
saving the preachers" In the last
issue Of the Way Of Life, speaking of
the sumter meeting, he Says: We are
greatly helpedan encouraged by the
Presiding Elder, Brother Beasley, who
claimed during the meeting to be saved,
through and through; also, the beloved
Pastor of the Baptist church, Rev. G. G.
Brown
All Christians ought to rejoice in the
salvation OF any onc-more especially
should joy abound when 4 minister Of
the Gospel is saved. We rejoice to
know, therefore, that the la'OTs Of Mr..
Leitch in Sumter resulted in the saliva
"through and through h'-of two
such eminent ministers as Rev. J. Sid
ncy Beasiey, Presiding Elder Of Sumter
District, and Rev. &. G. Brown, Pastor
OF the Sumter Baptist Church.
But what was the spiritual condition
of these gentlemen before the coming
Of Mr.. Lcitch" Were they blind leaders
Of the blind? Were they still in the
gall of bitterness and the bonds Of
ir;quity:: Though ministers Of saliva
ton to others, were they unsavcG
themselves? Or were they only par
TALLY saved? If so. we rejoice that
their eyes have been opened at last,
and that the Lord directed Mr. Leitch
to Sumter to lead them into the expert
cnce Of 4 conscious salvation.
But how about Mr.. Beaslcy's record
Of eighteen years of faithful and Sue
ccssful ministerial labor? Long be-
fore Mr.. Leitch was ever heard Of in
South Carolina, Mr. Bcasley not only
professed salvation, but witnessed it by
Il holy and consistent life. The same
may he said Of Mr.. Brown. Are we to
su3pos" that during all ofthesc years
these gentlemen were sclf-dcccived?
and We're they only aroused to their
true condition under the preaching of
this new apostle Of salvation" So the
language of Mr.. Leitch would imply.
But who believes it? Certainly no one
who knows anything at all Of the char
a"lcr and record Of the gentlemen
named.
Mr.. LeItch is doubtless doing much
good by his evangelistic labors. We
would not puta straw in the way of his
doing all the good possible. But we do
protest against such statements as the
one quoted above. They arc mislead-
ing and Untrue, and are calculated to do
a thousand times more damage than
Mr.. Lcitch can hope to undo by a life
time of faithful labor. The ministers
of our churches are not unconverted,
unsaved men, waiting for the agency of
Mr.. Leitch to bring them to Il knoWl-
edge Of the truth. They are as sound
in the faith and have every whit rs
clean records as Iir. Lcitch or any
other evangelist. They Will compare
f;tvorably witt! him in every particular,
;ind their picty and loyalty to the
church have never been questioned.
1t is worse than folly. then, yea, it is a
downright impertinence, for any evan
gclist to 60 from place to place holding
meetings and setting up the claim Of
Saving the preachers Thank God,
the preachers are already saved, and
the Lord is using them daily in the
salvation Of scores and hundreds Of sin
ncrs.
