The committee appointed to investi-
gate the subject returned divided re-
port. Rev. S. W. Reigarl. of Salisbury.

while they disapproved Of the sermon,
recommended that the case be drop

of the committe in the disapproval,
but he recommended that the Rev. Rob-

wrong in preaching such a sermon
when the public mind was inhamed.
1t was decided to appoint another
