EXPELLED THE PREACHER.
Raw. III. G. keelY, pastor of the Cor

Rev. II. c. Keely, pastor of the Con-
gregational Church, of Millville, N. Y,
eoped a few weeks ago with Miss Susie
Linsey, a member of his church.
Miss Linsey has returned, and admits
they eloped. She says she lived with
Mr.. Kelley as his wife during the time
they were together. At a public church
meeting she made confession, and the
following motion was carried:
Miss Susie A. Linsey having of her
Own accord made and caused to be
placed openly before the church state
ment as confession of her recent sim
full conduct, and having appeared TO-
day before the church the church hay
ing demanded this of herr, and asking
for the forgiveness of the church, we,
as a church of Jesus Christ, are bound
and authorized in the teachings of our
Lord to extend TO her the forgiveness
she asks for. We do this heartily, as
we ought, in the name of Him who
said: "Whosoever's sins ye forgive they
are forgiven, and whosoever's sins ye
retain they are retained"
Lest the unbelieving and unsympa-
thizing of the outside world should ac-
cuse the church of passing over lightly
so grave and public sin, we deem it
to be prudent that our sister should not
take any prominent part in any public
Christian work of the church until such
time, after the expiration of this year,
1896, as she of her own will may feel as
free to do as she would like to feel.
No action was taken toward depos-
ing Mr.. Kelley, the minister, for the
reason that he is not connected with
any association of Congregational min
listers and churches.
His ecclesiastical relations are with
the Presbyterians. However, this was
placed on church records, expelling Mr..
Kelley
In view of the evidence now before
us, as church, of the grossest possible
ministerial obliquity, immortality and
crime on the part of Rev. Henry Kee-
ley, who has been for more than year
past the acting pastor of this church,
and also a member Of its communion,
in connection with his recently desert
ing his home, his wife and his children,
in company with Miss Linsey, it be-
comes our painful, but clear, duty to
Immediately withdraw from him our
Christian fellowship, and to remove his
name from the roll of membership of
the church.
The vote on both these propositions
was unanimous.

Rams Horn: There is a great deal
Of honest wisdom and helpful sugges-
ton in the following from the Religi-
GUS Telescope: Brother, how about
that preacher of ours? The year is al
most up; he has toiled and preached
faithfully; his salary is small enough,
goodness knows, and even of that / all
told there are $27 unpaid. Now, how
about that? Are we going to let him
go off to conference, losing that much
of his salary, every cent of which he
and his family so badly need? Are
we? If we do 1t, 1t seems to me that
the Lord will trouble us; for he tells
us plainly, "The aborer is worthy of
his hire" I am free to admit that
times are hard, and money scarce; but
that only makes him need the $27 that
much more. Why, if man were to
sneak into MY house tonight and steal
the $50 that I have laid up to pay my
taxes, I would feel that I was almost
bankrupt; and yet I am sure that I
could stand that loss good deal easier
than our preacher can go to conference
without the remainder of his salary.
Then, too, we can raise 1t for him If
we will. Come, take hold with me. I
will give a dollar, you give dollar,
and then let us go around and see
the brethren, talk to them as l have
talked to you, and know We can raise
1t. Will you? You will! Good for you,
Oh, how much better we can sleep
when our preacher goes off to confer
ence happy because his salary is paid
up in full!

Appropriate is the name Of Bahr Bel
ANA, or sea without water, given to the
stretch Of open desert on to which one
debouches from the Babel Korosko,
writes a correspondent from the Sou
dan. This Bahr Belama is to the Ar
abs a somewhat terrible place. On
this particular road there can be no
danger Of being lost, for, failing guides,
the bones of tens of thousands Of cam
els that lie strewn on the track would,
even If the telegraph line to Murat did
not exist, afford ample indication to
the traveller of the route he must take.
We tried awhile to count how many
of these camel skeletons might go on
an average to a mile. It was a vain
task. We had got as many as Ave per
telegraph post only to discover more
and yet more as we chose to widen the
track. There would have been no end
to the calculation, and we were fain
to give 1t up. But on the other tracks
and in the night travel the Bahr Bel
anna has offered-and very often--A
dreaded danger to the traveller. more
than ninety Of our best guides," says
Abdul Aim Bey Hussein Khalifa, has
the Bahr Belama devOured in my life
time" And when l asked how these
accidents had, in his opinion happened,
he answered in that awed tone in which
the Arab always speaks of that strange
phenomenon: "The Seraab" (the mir
age). We ourselves saw nothing Of this
mirage beyond the blue haze in the dis
lance, such as indicates sea or a big
lake. This the Arabs call FL Ma Of
Kezab, the false water.
