MUSCATINE NOTES.

| Muscatine has been very unfOrtun'
ate in the last three or four years, the
colored people especially. In their min.
, listers. There is but handful of them
| and the have allowed the pastors
! full sway. 1t seems to bad when q
man Of God will sneak around and de-
ceive the public, making debts and get
ting money under false pretense. Why
I speak Of this is because we have a
pastor now who forgets self In his
work for God. There has been bills
after bills come into the church for
debts contracted by the former pas
tor that no honest man would have
left unpaid, until they have amounted
UP to quite sum. We are trying to
collect enough articles and bric-a-brac
by donation to hold fair and by this
means raise enough money to clean
the interior of our church. The two
ladies who were soliciting were told
by some of the most influential busi-
ness men they never intended helping
the African church again as the last
rascal they had here come around and
got advertisements from them claim
ing he was going to edit paper and

umns for $3.50 a year that he sent his
wife around to collect the money and
renew his promises which were not
kept. One or two went so far TO
write an account or statement OF 1t TO
Bishop Shaffer to meet him at con-
ference.
Claiming that such rogues ought not
to hold a place among an honorble
body of men. But what can the people
do. They think man must be a
rougues indeed when he will corrupt
the cloth he wears And a church who
has been burdened for two or three
years in this way becomes careless in
their duties and the man who is de-
serving bears the brunt. There should
