NOTE AND COMMENT.

-
There are several baskets of food for re-
Hec!ion in DR.. j. II. Tuttle's resignation from
the Church of ihe Redeemer pastorate. DR..
Tuttle has been with that church twenty-five
years Now that he seeks to withdraw from
his charge his whole congregation rises and
asks him to not do it. They don't
want him to continue as active pas
tor. He is beginning to feel the weight
of years. His people know IT. But
they want him to remain in connecuon Win
the church. They don't want TO lose him.
That sentiment on the part of a congregation
spsaks in no whispered accents for pastor.
That pastor remained with one congrega-
ton for quarter of century also speaks
well for him and tor the congregation, too;
There is little doubt that DR.. Tuttle could
have left Minneapolis more than
once; that he could have gone
TO larger cities and to churches that
would have paid him a larger salary. But
Dr.. Tuttle is not q man who sits on the
housetop with an extra large telescope
sweeping the horizon i'll search of 'call.
Neither is he the sort of man that people
called upon to undertake, stngle.handed the
men wheps the world was smaller
than it is now-the conversion of
all men, He has been content to do
his best for the people of his church He at
tracted mep by his earnestness and his
power. not by the drag net of gratifying their
curiosity for something new or their desire
for amusement. In order to build his own
house, he never deemed it necessary TO tear
down that of his neighbor. And his reward
comes now. His example is one that might
be followed more generally with more profit
to the world and with more satisfaction TO
the worlds people.
One of the witnesses in the case against
Lasher, the alleged blind Swinherd, acknowl-
edges that he is only a poor sinner. His
statement in this particular goes unques-
toned. He only spent 10 cents for whisky.
guarantee fund along. Joe probably depends
upon the desire of the delegates to the con-
Gention to shoot craps for making him even.
This man thoroughly understood how to
carry out the promptings of his inner con-
sclousnesS.
He stood at the corner of Twenty fifth
street and Fourth avenue south waiting for a
car He wanted to catch the 7:40 Milwaukee
train. There was blockade on the line and
he waited a long time. His patience was
nearly exhausted. He was preparing to
blame his wife and molherinlaw, both of
whom accompanied him. Just then q car
sailed along with the grace of q mud turtle.
That car was going to pull into the barn, but
the man didn't know it. He waved his new
silk umbrella The driver never needed it.
Then he yelled. The driver must have been
deaf. He hawled at the conductor. The
conductor spat over the rail and went on
chewing gum The man looked at his
watch Any other car but that wouldn't get
him to the depot in time
If l had that mush- headed bloke here I'd
have some fun he remarked, as he breathed
hard
You women go back to the house." he
said to his wife and mother-in-law. I'm 60
ing to sit down here awhile"
Then he sat down and swore for forty-five
minutes in a manner that would have put an
expert on penmanship i'll forgery case to
the blush.
