He answered Willis letter at once,
remembering how long 1t took for let
ter to reach him, and again urged him
to leave the drink alone. In his letter
he also told him that he should take
the liberty Of using a part Of Willis
letter in the coming debate In open
meeting Of the societies. He did not
mention Freeda's name nor make any
reference to Willis mention Of It.
Somehow he still had a shrinking from
any thought Of Freeda and Willis as
possibly interTsted In each other. The
whole subject was distasteful to him,
and he avoided It. b. - 49, ~ +. Il

IN HIS OWN Defense.

Professor Heron Writes Letter Ex-
planning His Conduct.
Grinnel, Ia, June 5.-Professor
George D. Heron, charged with con-
duct unbecoming of minister, was
called for trial in the Congregational
church here. Thirteen churches Of
the district were represented by rs
jurors, of whom are said to favor
expulsion, even before hearing testi-
mony.
No defense was expected and evil
dence introduced In the Heron di-
vorce suit was expected to form most
of the testimony. Considerable sur
prise was expressed, therefore, when
it was announced that DIR. Heron had
sent a letter in his own defense, deal
ing with his specific, individual case,
and not with marriage and divorce in
general. The writer states that he
was called on a divine mission as a
sort Of new prophet and that his wife
did not give him her sympathy and
appreciation, SO that the home atmos-
phere was uncongenial. He and his
wife discussed the matter many times,
he alleges. and finally agreed to sep
arate and he went away that the de-
sertion plea might be acceptable in

roughly. 'The president is an old foot

over his record at Fairfax the other

when he was junior. Besides, the

the manager and stretching out a

were trembling as if with eagerness to

lc medication, studying the leaflets
bearing upon this subject. As moth
ers of families we have it in our powe,
to do a great deal for temperance
along this line and should not nepl, ct

Also when travelling we will discour-

attention Of dealers in their localities

and to make our work effective we
earnestly advise our press workers to
study to fit themselves for this partic-
