The second quarterly meeting Of the
MP church was held last Saturday and
Sunday, Rev. +. Traver, presiding
Rev. w. r. Gillett, owing to throat
difficulty which has been troubling him
| for some time, rendered his resignation
which the members of the board refus-
ed to accept but urged the pastor to put
in an appearance at the regular hours
assuring him at the same time that
they would see that the salary was paid
Feeling that such course would be an
injustice to the circuit the matter was
arranged by employing Rev. Davie rs
associate pastor, who will fill the coun-
try appointments while the regular pas
tor, for the present at least. will fill the
pulpit in this village.
The large church on the hill was
crowded almost to suffocation on last
! Tuesday evening to hear that prince of
humorists, Rev Mr.. Bettes, on the
amendment question. We went there
expecting to write up good review of
his address. but after listening a few
minutes, we put up our book and stuck
the pencil in our pocket. No one can
write anything like a comprehensive
report of one of his lectures. lie is
absolutely too humorous to place on
paper. His anecdotes. however. every
one, had point as sharp as two
edged sword. and he took delight in
running them right down the throat of
the liquor traffic. He will be back in a
few weeks and anyone who fails to
hear him will make the mistake of his
life.--W (Neb.) Wasp.
