THE PULPIT AND THE PEW.

Minister Makes the Congregatioa and
the Congregation the Hinlstsr.
Between a minister and his congre-
SO that the minister makes the con-
gregation and the congregation the
minister, says Ian MacLaren in the
Ladies' Home Journal When one
speaks OF a minister's service to his
people one is not thinking OF pew
rents and offertories and statistics and
crowds: nor OF schools and guilds and
classes and lectures. The master
achievement of the minister is to form
character and to make men. The chief
question, therefore, to consider about
a minister's work is: What kind OF
men has he made.
And one, at least, of the most deci-
sive questions by which the members
OF congregation can be judged is:
What have they made of their minis
ter. By that one does not mean what
salary they may give him. nor how
agreeable they may be to him. but how
far he has become q man and risen
to his height in the atmosphere OF his
congregation. Some congregations
have ruined ministers by harassing
them till they lost heart and self-con.
troll and became peevish and ill-tem-
pered. Some congregations, again,
have ruined ministers by so humoring
and petting them that they could en-
dure no contradiction and became
childish. That congregation has done
its duty most effectively which has Gre
ated an atmosphere so genial. and yet
so bracing. that every good in its min
lister has been fostered and everything
petty killed.

COLORED WOMAN.
who Saw the Capture of washinetsa
by the British.


Mrs. Hope Ann Cook, colored, who
died at her home, 1917 Madison street.
recently, was one OF the few remain
ing witnesses to the capture OF WASH
ington by the British in 1914. Mrs.
Cook was a remarkable woman. She
was born in Charles county, Maryland.
in 1904. Her ancestors were never
slaves. Mrs. Cook. though IS years OF
age at the time of her death, had re.
markably clear memory. She was
about 10 years old, she often said, when
the British entered the city. She had
a vivid recollection of the stormy
scenes OF that period. Mrs. Cook, with
hundreds OF others, took refuge at
Alexandria. she going with her aunt.
She also told of the numerous atrocities
committed by the British soldiers In
the neighborhood OF Washington and
Alexandria, some Of which have never
been recorded in history. Mrs. Cook
was brought to Washington by her
aunt. and since her coming had resided
In the same house till she died. Her
husband, in 1870, and for some years
after, conducted restaurant on F
street. near Fifteenth street, which was
favorite resort OF the prominent men
of those days. Among the distin-
guished military men who freQuented
the Hope Club" as the place was
called, were Gen. Winfield Scott and
her stan Observation-Disclosures Post.

CHAPTER XVI.

There was not the slightest dificulty
In Identifying the body. for the mans
clothes, even to the other half of the
broken belt, were buried with him.
When William Luke narrated his
dream, men looked at one another
aghast. Even the most skeptical could
not doubt that he had actually seen a
vision OF the murder as it really hap
pened. The one thing that grieved
him was that he had been unable co
see the face Of the woman In the hut;
and thus his suspicious az to the con-
nection between Edward Bartlett. Anne
Dodson. and the late occupants OF the
hut remained as unconfirmed as be-
fore.
Mr.. Hall at once communicated with
the police at Mount Gipps, and early
the next morning four troopers and
some black crackers appeared on the
scene.
Nearly two months had elapsed since
the departure of Baynes and his wife.
and nothing at all had been heard of
them. That they had murdered Robert
Luke there could be no possible doubt
The excitement on the station was
intense. and people focked from all
parts OF the country to witness the
scene of the awful crime and to behold
the man who had dreamed that fearful
dream.

said Mr.. Hall. after long consultation
with the sergeant OF the police. ut is

might exist for years. II they happened
to drop across a good watcr-supply, un-
seen by any mortal eye"
but there 10 vast sandy tract OF
