Mistaken Criticism.

One of the most remarkable exam
pies OF mistaken criticism is found in
Bentley'S edition of Milton. When
ever either sense or sound did not
suit the critic, he never hesitated to
amend according to his own notion,
confideniially assuring the reader
what Milton meant to say.

"A Point Settled by the Presbyterian

From the Springfield Republican,
The case of Sadie Means, the Colum
bia. S. c.. telephone girl will be re-
called, and the general assembly OF
the Southern Presbyterian church
decides that attending calls and
switches in q telephone exchange on
Sunday comes under the head OF
works of charity Or necessity, and
therefore is permissible in a church
member. Thus Mics Means wins her
case. She Is devoted member of
the Presbyterian church and served
for a part of each Sunday in the
telephone exchange. The ministers
and elders of Columbia church were
opposed to this Sunday work and
finally expelled Miss Means from the
church. The Presbytery sustained
their action, but the synod reversed
the action of the Presbytery. The
Jealous Sabbatarians could not be
content with their verdict, and ap-
pealed from the synod to the general
assembly and did their best to have
that body confirm their discipline of
the telephone girl. After q warm
discussion the assembly ordered that
Sadie Means be reinstated in the
church and permitted to attend on
her duties at the exchange on Sun
day.

A SENSATIONAL CASE.
Church Discipline in the North Geor
gia Conference

Eia Conference.
A sensational case of church dis
cipline has developed at Rome, Ga.
Rev. W. Murdoch, who was at the
last session of the North Georgia
Conference of the M. E. Church
South, appointed to East Rome, u
small church in the suburbs of Rome,
recently assumed editorial charge of
the Evening News, of that place
The paper is a secular daily paper
and takes q hand in the politics OF
the day. Presiding Elder Pierce,
brother of the deceased Bishop of
that name, has removed Murdoch
from his church and suspended him
from the ministry until the meeting
of his Conference in December. The
ground of that action was. that a
preacher should not engage in ether
than church work and especially
should he steer clear of politics. 1t
brings up again the same issues in
volved in the dispute between Bishop
Hargrove and DIR. D. c. Kelley, of the
Tennessee Conference, which received
SO much attention at the recent
General Conference at Memphis
Presiding Elder Pierce appointed as
Editor Murdock's successor a local
preacher, who is farmer. Murdoch
contends that the church is not deal
ing fairly with it's ministry. Hesays
Gen. Evans, who Is a member of the
North Georgia Conference, is running
for Governor and that any number
are teaching school ill addition to
preaching. He holds that editing a

able as running for Governor, teach
ing school or farming, and that it is
not incompatible with the highest
duties of minister His church did
not pay him a living, and he was
advised by his stewards to supple
ment his salary by editorial work.

CHAPTER XII

The first news that Cullen was sick
unto death was SO appalling to Julia
that her few friends believed that 1t
would rapidly hasten her own death
Yet her grief was subdued by thoughts
that he would be saved the misery of
what she suspected to be coming-his
domestic ruin. When they told her he
was dead, she only said:
.'Well, doubtless 1t was best for the
poor boy"
Wiley's behavior in the circumstances
was as decent as he could make It. No
doubt of his being sensibly shocked by
the unexpected end of his brother, who
had gone out of life believing that he
had not been dealt with fairly; vet the
quickening of his own sense of person
al security gave what consolation he
needed. To several persons he inti-
mated his Intention to do for his fami-
ly things which in Cullen,s lifetime had
not seemed practicable Not few
reasonably good church members adj
mitted to have been struck by the nm
expected soft words which Wiley spoke
of his late brother.

long time were justified. Most benign
is that one of the ways of Divine Provi-
dence wherein He leads those whom
He Is to take soon to Himself to the
desire OF doing some special good that
may follow themin into the eternal world.
