PASTOR TRIED 10 KISS
PRETTY WIFE or SUNDAY
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT

told of his fathers death bed and his
parting injunction to his fire sons.
Then, after brief pause, Mr.. London
turned to Mr. Barnwell. who sat on
the opposite side of the church, and
with extended arms he said:
Brother Barnwell give you my
hand"
The former pastor sprang to his feet
and crossed the church to meet the SUI
perendent. Their hands clasped
across the aisle, and men and women
in all parts of the church rose to their
feet to see tine reconciliation. Sobs and
shouts mingled in the excitement of
the moment The conclusion of the
service was interrupted by general
handshaking in which everybody
joined When the last strain Of
"BIest Be the Tie That Binds" had
died away, and the benediction had
been pronounced the congregation
still fingered to talk over the recon-
ciliati m
The differences between Mr.. Barn
well and Mr.. London arose about two
months ago, when Mrs. London told
her husband chat the pastos had called
at her home and tried to kiss her. This
was. followed by. the dismissal of Mr..
Barnwell from his pulpit, which has
not yet been permanently filled. 1t is
now expected that, since the recon
ciliation, an effort will be made to
have the former pastor reinstated. He
still lives in Edgewood, near the
church, with his wife and family, and
numbers many { lie DIS in the Edge
wood congregation.
The revival services which are being
held at the Edgewood church have
been growing in interest. and it is be
lieved by the congregation that the
religious fervor inspired at the meet
ings has had much to do with the
reconciliation. The revival is being
conducted by Rev. j. T. Baxter, the
evangelist, who is assisted by K. H
Basmajain, formerly of Constantine
, pie, a singer ard evangelist.

ORPHANS PARADE
in new YORK CITY
Publishers Press.

Publishers Press.
New York June 12.-One Of the
most praiseworthy efforts of automo-
bile dealers and owners that has come
to notice up to date, is the proposed
Orpahns' Day Parade, which occurs
today, when every orphan in the city
is to be given a ride in an automobile.
AL 1.-THE inmates of orphan asylums In
the city are on the street today in
swiftly moving cars of every design
known to makers 1t is estimated that
over two thousand automobiles are in
the parade, which is divided into two
divisions, Manhattan and Bronx and
Brooklyn and Queens.
The great parade proceeded through
Prospect Park down to Coney Island,
where the BROOKLYN contingent is en-
tertained at Luna Park and the New
Workers. at Dreamland. A fine dinner
vase rived, and each child was filled
to repletion. All places OF amusement
were thrown open to the children.
The willingness of the auto owners to
accommodate the children was very
conspicuously shown by the eagerness
with which the machines were
brought forward. The leading auto
clubs took conspicuous part in the
arrangements, and on all hands the
utmost eagerness was shown to rem
der the outing Of the orphans most
remarkable one.
