Rev. House Rein.taled.

Sioux City, Dec. 2O-A great many
Methodists in the Sioux City district
are surprised at the ruling of the court
of appeals of the church in ordering
Rev. Il. M. House, of Ida Grove, rein
stated as minister in the conference.
Mr.. House was suspended for having
written letters to a young girl repre-
senting himself to be single, and, as a
matter of fact, he was married. His
excuse is that he was only trying to
keep her from marrying another man
who was not worthy of her love. The
court repfimands his action, but re-
verses the decision of the. last confer
ence in discharging him from the min
istry. The first case was tried in Sioux
City and created a sensation.
