OF MRS. Ellison IN THIS cnurcn, but
once before has this question come
up, and at that meeting, snap judg-
ment was taken in the case of a
prominent member of the church,
and she and her husband forced to
withdraw from the church. Appar-
emily, no effort was made to advise
those members who would have re-
sisted such action, that such action
was intended, and the action was
taken by the pastor and a few men,
bers only.
As result, one of the best Chris
tian women in the community, one
of the best members the church had :,
and the best Sunday School teacher
the church has ever had, was prac-
tically turned out of the church.
And during the thirty years of Mrs.
Ellison's membership in this church,
NOT ONCE HAS ANY PASTOR OF THIS
CHURCH, OR ANY MEMBER OF THIS
CHURCH, EVER SAID ONE WORD TO
HER OR TO NE ON THE SUBJECT OF
OUR PLAYING CARDS UNTIL THIS
MATTER CAME UP. Nor ONCE, mark
you, in 80 years time until now.
Now to review this matter. AS
you all know, on a recent Sunday,
your pastor took the occasion to
make talk against the members Of
his church. He denounced the mem
bers generally as hypocntes and
sinners. having no good to say Of
any of his members, with the ex-
ception of one deacon and his wife.
/ was present at this meeting and
my only feeling during his talk was
one of sympathy for him / could not
conceive how any man could be so
pessimistic as to see no good in a
church having so many good people
among its members.
This. ! say, was my feeling until
he made the statement that the
church had no deacons, qualifying
it by excepting one. AS was a
deacon, this exception made his
charge personal to me, and / that
night asked the church to postpone
its intended meeting from Tuesday
until Wednesday, that / might be
present.
Now listen, for 80. Consistency,
thou art, INDEED, a Jewell" On the
next Monday good sister in this
church denounced my wife for her
card playing, in strong language.
and yet, on the Wednesday preced-
ing, only four days before. she had
accepted an invitation to an enter
tainment at the home Of a Baptist,
and on the invitation which she re-
ceived, was plainly written cards"

At the Wednesday night meeting

CAPTAIN SMITH WINS OUT.

The battle Of the ancestors, which was fought
by the New Workers yesterday afternoon at the
Hotel Astor. resulted in victory for Captain John
Smith. while John Quincy Adams was forced TO
take a back seat. In other words. Mrs. Horace
Rounds elected president and Miss Florence
Adams was defeated. AS Miss Adams is de-
scendant OF John Quincy Adams and daughter of
the present holder OF that titIe her friends saw
no reason why they should not make campaign
capital out of this fact. II then up TO the
friends OF Mrs. Rounds 10 produce equally dis
tnsuished ancestor for her and, having found that
she was descended from Captain John Smith they
proceeded to faunt him In the face OF the enemy.
The contest took place behind closed doors, but
the sounds OF battle penetrated beyond them and
the combatants admitted that there had been a
general melee with appeals from the Chair and
frequent calls for order.
The other officers elected were Mrs O. S.
Gabrielle and Mrs. John s. Crosby vice-presidents:
Mrs. Charles J. Davis. recording secretary; Mrs
Mary NJ Lilly, corresponding secretary. and Mrs.

such a food of anu-suffrage arguments that MISS
