The Presidents Brother Offered a Chapel

The Presidents Brother Offered a Chapel
and Support in Chaumont, N. Y.
Since the Rev. DIR. W. N. Cleveland,
brother of the president, was dismissed
from his pastorate at Chaumont, N. T.,
last Tuesday, by the st. Lawrence presby-
terry, six influential and liberal members
of his congregation have given up their
pews and many more are expected to FOL
low in the next few days. All OF these
people are strong Cleveland supporters, as.
indeed, is every citizen of the village ex-
cepting the half dozen families who led the
opposition against him, and there is seri-
ous talk Of erecting chapel and engaging
him to preach in it. A committee OF citi-
zens has waited on Mr.. Cleveland and
made such proposition to him and he is
considering it.
The seceders declare that it will be i'm
possible for them to worship in the same
church with the people who brought about
the pastors dismissal. and they are deter
mined that Mr.. Cleveland shall be the pas
tor of the new church. They claim that in
that way alone can he be vindicated in the
eyes of the world. 1t is proposed to have
him preach in the town hall until the new
chapel shall be compl eted.
When questioned concerning the matter,
Mr.. Cleveland said last night: ut is true
that such proposition has been made to
me, but l have not yet given my answer.

above the cost of shoe-leather in personally
