If Elder Woodruff made audible
answer, deponent sayeth not, but
there was a flubter of excitement all
over the little church as tine con-
gregation had dispersed and everybody
that had witnessed the incident of
Elder Anderson being ignored when
the ord's Supper was served knew
what it meant. Not that he was mot
allowed to commune, but he was not
permitted to officiate.
Interest in the incident WIS
heightened when on Tuesday eve
ming, at a meeting of the session of
the church, consisting of the pastor
and church officers, the designations
as members of the congregation Of
Mr.. Anderson, his wife and daugh-
ter were received and accepted.
T. S. Anderson was for many
years a pillar of tine First Presby-
terrain church, one of its most lib
eral contributors and decidedly tine
strictest member in Sabbath observ-
ance and abstinence from worldly
ways. His extreme ways of refusing
in his banking matters to do bus
mess with whisky or tobacco dealers,
or to employ a Sunday might watch
man, or mail letters that would be
in transit over Sunday, or read let
ters or newspapers, or discuss secu-
lar matters, on the Sabbath day, gave
him a wide notoriety.
But when Mr.. Anderson's bank

Despite the fact that the Chapin-

was left off entirely.
