kers, New York. This Christian gentle
man demands the instant resignation OF
the Rev. George III. Miller. pastor OF
the Holland Reformed Church. to which
he was called two and a half years
ago. Mr.. Miller was ordained sevea
years since in the Fifth Presbyterian
church. of Brooklyn. and there remained
pastor until moving to Yonkers- Hearken
u-to the accusations OF the truly good
Dorm:
In the winter when his poor wife was
sick. he organized sieighing parties, and
went beiiy-whopping the hills with
the boys aud girls. Worst OF all. he
bought a bicycle and then rolled around
his dis riot trying TO make an impression
upon every one he met. Twice the
Chassis asked for his resignation. and
tomorrow night 1 think he will have
TO 20.
What infaIny on the part OF man
of God, In vain does the pretty wife
OF the young parson protest against
these charges. Says Mrs. Miller:
Ay husband never went "belly-whop-
ping down the hills on sleighs with the
girls. nor does he skedaddle around with
them. He does ride "a bicycle. and that
Is the reason that some Of the older
members of the congregation call him
dude and say he Is no good.
There you have the head and front
of the offending. The deadly. insidious
bicycle is at the bottom of the pastor
Miiler's fall. He evidently is beyond re-
demption: but what shall We of the
capital DO TO be saved from a pesti-
lental machine that is worming its way
into all classes of society. not even spar

Christina is opposed to pomp. She is

influence has given tone to the palace.
The correspondent was astonished this

Spanish grandees. another for the mobiles
and a third for ordinary mortais. Now

When the writer inquired if she enjoyed
