he had letters of Endorsement from the
Rev. DR.. Funk. He was an excellent
preacher, spoke from notes, was of the

smooth face, with restless almost wild eyes.

Some Of the congregation here did not
quite like him. There was something
about him that made them a little sus-
piGious, a suggestion Of temperament that
made them hold aloof. The church au-

Balm entered into his duties at once.
The congregation numbers a little more

fore he shocked some Of the church by
taking a saloon keeper and his family into
the parsonage as tenants at $40 a month,

bundle under his arm. When he came
