Apostle Ernest.
In reassuring words TO this effect the
apostle Of Pantheism. whose baptismal
name IS Ernest Maryon, addressed his
handful OF adherents at Cavendish

Anue his appeals for four weeks, having

The apostle is an orator OF humble

a rule, over their heads. He has an eX-

When eNpOuuding the doctrines OF
Pantheism, the apostle stands on the

CHURCH MEMBERS
RETURN THE SPOONS
Police Held Up Trolley Par
ty for Ice Cream Man.
TOOK SILVER FOR SOUVENIRS
But TTadesman Asserted That He Had
Paid Real Money for the Plate,
and He Got It Back.

PLAINFIELD, y. J.. Aug. PA Sc
lect delegation from the congregation
of the Peddie Memorial Church Of New
ark came here on a trolley car eXcur-
sion and wound up the outing with a
session at John Tiers ice cream saloon.
SO pleasant a time did the church mem
bers have there that they took Mr.. Tiers
silver spoons TO keep as souvenirs Of the
occasion.
After the church party had gone the
walters reported TO Mr.. Tier that his sill
verware, the pride OF his place. had
gone. too. He did not try to reconcile
himself to the loss by meditating on the
improved adage, the better the people,
the better the deed" but FASTENED to OBJ
tain a more material satisfaction by
calling up police headquarters and, de-
failing the facts.
Called on Police
Chief Kiley at once hunted out a
mounted policeman, with orders to sur
round the church pa-ty's special trolley
car which then was rafting merrily on
toward Newark TO the clink Of the Sill
Yer spoons.
The car was Overtaken at Watching
Avenue. and Patrolman Higgins ordered
the motorman TO shut Off the power,
and the car came TO a standstill.
Now" said the mounted policeman,
looking up and down the trolley load,
give back those spoons you took from
Tiers"
AT that several women became hys-
terical. and the men grew angry. They
proceeded 20 ignore the policeman, and
ordered the motorman to go ahead
This car doesn't move until you p2o-
pie give up those spoons, was the po-
liceman = only comment.
Yielded Reluctantly.
Noting that the car didn't move. the
men tried to explain away the matter,
but with little success because some of
the women who joined in the protes5a-
tions that they hadn't stolen anything
were waving their arms about. spoons
in their hands.
As a last resort a Sunday school
teacher, who has a local reputation as
a theologian, tried TO discuss the matter
accidentally, These spoons. he said
are souvenirs. We are all members Ct
the Peddie Memorial Church, Newark
We never stole anything"
Mr.. Tier arrived at that moment and
explained in a few well-chOsen words
that the spoons were silver that he haC
paid for them with real money. and
that. moreover. If they were not return
ed forthwith the whole party should bC
taken to headquarters, searched, anc
locked up.
After a slight delay, occasioned by tn,
