the Ladies' Auxiliary. The Rev Mr.
lIoughton was 8rcctorHof the church when
( T. came here after my lnurriage to Mr.
Elliott I had obtained n divorce from
my second husband and Mr. Elliott hnd.
obtained 4 O divorce from Ills first wife,,
Z went to Mr.. Houghton and explained
to him that Il had boon divorced under
the cnilons Of: the church. He said my
,eXplanation was sd tLfnctory5 and he had
no objection to my becoming commits

DIR. Irvine came here 4 Il n II XII Fl d x @E

ES IT told DR.. IrvinoRin my own house and
.inSt1e presence of4two other women mem
beers or our church that I was ID divorced
Woman. and he offered no objection He
and I were on the friendiest terms after
that. He often dined at my house, and
whenever Y lie X needed money for tho.
church I never hesita ted to give him any
amount no desired. 4a55 VI
8''Tho trouble began with the coming Of
a choir mas ter from st, Lulte's Church
at Altoona to instruct tho choir ut our
church. When the time came for pay
ing the choir master, DR.. Irvine appealed
to me. r gave him the needed sum: y,
was not quite $40, and / thought no more
OF the matter untilaone day, greatly to-
my surprise, r received a letter from tho
choir master who had returned to NJ
toonn, Informing me that he was Ill md
unable to perform Ills duties. and ask
Ing me to sent him the money due him
for his services ut our church i3
you " can imagine my utter
amazement when discovered that Dr.
Irvine had never given the choirmaster
the money he had begged from me, and
Of course, I was atulally indignant. That
was the first opening of the breach be-
tween lis, and one thing led to another,
until finally DR.. vine s rtcdS tho pres
ent trouble by refusing mo communion
at our church = because II IVA s q, djYosced#

controversy. n or course, ~ hen I3 ishop Tai

to task about It, and later took my side
in the matter. n lss & = Ss55 @

in fact? r feel sure that. Bishop Talbot
will be cleared of such CHI argos and that
DR.. Irvine, will get his just deserts. n q,
