This important question settled, the
church members and the other members
of the club arranged for their sociable
which was held at the residence of one of
the ladies' who generously offered to en-
terrain them.
SOME WERE JEALOUS.
But, alas, the deadly venom of jealousy
had been at work in the breasts of some
of the members of the church who had
not been invited to become members of
the club Quick and decisive was their
work. Conspicuous among the officers
Of the newly organized club were some
church members, and the church mem
bers who were not club members soon

there were members of the church who
not only countenanced dancing, card
playing, and such ''evil" amusement, but
actually were about to participate in them

proved their disorder, and demanded sug-
gestions for the future OF the club
A GOOD PLAN.
The church members acted somewhat
on the plan of the dog in the manager.
Theyawere unwilling to leave the club
and have their places filled by Others who
would feel no quaims of conscience and
enjoy the dancing and other festivities.
At last some brilliant mind originated
this plan which was considered quite
feasible. The church members should re-
sign from their offices and become simply
members. Then it would appear to the
outer world that they were quite passive
in. the club proceedings This was ar
ranged to be accomplished at the second
sociable and they were now free to enjoy
themselves for the evening "a
