by His Church to Explain.

taken to his remarks made in the pulpit
last Sunday evening. in which he criticised

the Democratic ticket.

fact that he was summoned by the board
of trustees to explain his expressions Of
sympathy for. the strikers at Grip

deputy sheriffs. Half the audience walked
out Sunday to show their disapproval OF
his remarks. Mr.. Reeds sermon was of the
sensational order, as will be seen by the
following excerpts:
