erence to dropping Mr.. Fenwiok until he

ground. I have no way of knowing
whether the story Is true or false, but from
the appearance of the man am led to be
lieve he is innocent. He says that he will
prove that the story Is absolutely false,
| and to the entire satisfaction of the church
| that the charges are grOundless. If he
| does go, of course, nothing more will be
done about the matter"
1t is believed that stories have been in
| vented and circulated for the purpose OF
| injuring Mr.. Fen wick by some person OF
persons connected with these investigs-
tions. However that may be, those who
know M. Fenwick best have perfect con-
| fidencs in bis complete innoo ence.
