MIR. DAY AND THE BARBER.
The Latter Is Trying to Remember What
lie Said

A few days ago a soldier who very evi
IDENTIFY required the services of a tonsorial
artist dropped into popular Church street
barber shop in Burlington and at once oc-
cupied vacant chair. A casual glance
revealed nothing to indicate any rank, and
his uniform, lcggins and coarse shoes and
saddenrd face and battered hat bore un-
mistakable marks OF hard campaigning.
After sizing him up the artist began
conversation concerning army life IN the
wilds of Chickamauga, in the course Of
which he interiected some rather free re-
marks regarding virtue, temperance and
morality in general among the boys in
camp. The victim allowed that possibly
some Of the boys might at times have fallen
short of literal observance of all the com
mandments, but personally expressed the
belief that he had kept the temptation at a
fairly deaen, distance and on the whole his
conscience reproached him very little.
Near the end of the process the barber
said:
"By the way, what is your company"
"No company was the answer.
"No compauy?"
mo, | am chaplain of the regment?"
And Rev. Mr. Day of Bratteboro drifted
quietly out, leaving the barber trying to re
member what he had been saying
Burlington Clipper.

Saturday In September.


The following letter of resignation from
Rev. l.. d. Temple was read at the regu-
lar church meeting held in the Baptist
church Friday evening.
First Baptist Church, Brattleboro,
Fred 5. knight, clerk.
Dear Brcthren:-I feel that my duty
calls upon me to say to you that must
lay down my work as pastor Of this
church. The three years Of my ministry
have not been frultless, but they constl-
tute period Of loss aud sorrow. Seldom
is any church SO afflicted in so short
time. Leaders and burden bearers Of 9th
er years are gone. The church is facing
new problems and is now in state of re-.
adjustment. In time and by the grac of
God | believe the church will emerge
strong and spirited after lis trials, and to
this end | will ever pray. | am willing To
bear my share Of sacrifice, but ! feel no
apti ude for the special kind of leadership
which the church requires at this juncture.
have received a call else Ahere under
circumstances which indicate that | ought
to accept 1t. Nothing, in my opinion, is
gained by pastor remaining upon a field
after deciding to leave it; and | therefore
ask you TO release me after the last Sun
day in September.
| have received very kind and generous
treatment from the Brattleboro church.
For all this thank you. hope you will
continue to remember me in your prayers.
Very affeclionately,
LEVI ID. TEMPLE.
The letter was referred to the standing
committee of the church, which will re-
port at special business meeting to be
