was deeply in love. Some of the
young girls who sat under the pulpit
thought it was scAndalous. and num-

was married 10 his fourth wife, re

The blue birds had hardly begun to
whistle the following spring when for
the second time Parson Haynes led to
the altar a bride crowned with orange
blossoms. 1t WAS sJon whispered

and only short time after il was an
nounced that Emory Haynes was
going to renounce Methodism and Join
the Baptist Church. The blow came
at last, and the young pastor was in
stalled in the finest church in Brook

discovered that they had made a sad

the church has rent to pieces, and

was ON him, and he found no peace. g.
