W. T. Fleenor, who several years ago before
locating here preached stirring farewell

land.
The present trouble appears 10 have COM
menced some four months since. when DR..
FeeDor told his people he should commence
reducing the church debt by getting some of
his good friends 10 come and deliver popular
lectures. Rev. Frank Dixon came up from
East Oakland and delivered characteristic
address that was bitter pill for some aged
chureh-members who have been here thirty
six years and more and never heard such
things from a pulpit before.
They say DR.. Dixon said "Since Joe
struck the town. I'm dead stuck on Ukiah;
but I'll tell you. my friends, if you want to
find hell you don't need to migrate from
Ukiah. HelPs right here in your midst, and
the devils got game on most of the time"
None other Of DIR. Fleenor's good friends
have since lectured here and the churcrs
debt has been growing, and many of the
congregation have been remaining away
from this particular sanctuary.
Soon thereafter DR.. Fieenor commenced
speciou5 sermons, "the likes OF which,"

Baptist. And so. finally, DIR. Fleenor was
asked to resign, out his prayer to remain
through this month was granted.
Last Sunday the doctor preached his be-
lief that every one present would escape
the experience of a natural death, because
the signs of the times indicated the end of
all things in about seven years; and in his
to-day's sermon he gave his people gen.
