brought suit against his congregation and
Trustees Jules Coles, Thomas Moore and

December, 1898, and as a part of the con-
tract was to receive his salary monthly.
Mr.. Williams says he has preached the
word, but did not receive his salary. He
continued, however, to preach and pray
for his flock, but the members were as
slow as ever in responding with a more

occasional amen from some of the more
