b. +. Holmes, supply who came to us
from New York
We have many defective deeds and
charters, which may sooner or later
occasion embarrassment and even liti-
cation. In some instances the auth
ority OF the church has been dehed
and her work obstructed to some ex-
tent by so-called self -Perpetuating"
Boards of Trustees. acting under deeds
and charters too peculiar 20 be de-
scribed in this report In one case A
member OF such a board openly and
threatenly declared in quarterly con-
ference that the trustees had the right
10 close and even TO sell the church
II is also significant fact that many
members of such boards are hostile to
the faithful pastor and hahitually ne
glect the means of grace and REFUSE to
support the church and her benc-
violent enterprises. Any church is in
deplorable condition whose property
is held and controlled by worldly and
dieloyaI men, who are beyond the reach
OF the authority OF the church because
Of defective title deeds and charters
under which they hold the property and
operate. Obviously such boards OF
boards of Obstruction and Destruc-
tion.
No charge during the year reduced
its estimate for pastoral support, but
several advances were made. Berlin
and Salisbury. each $500; Chincoteague,
$3.50; Girdletree, Gumboro, and Nanti-
coke, each 500; Roxanna, $50. Active
chapters OF the brotherhood are TO he
found at Delnar. Salisbury. Poconsoke
City, and Cape Charles.
During the year about s141 people
professed conversions, the largest NUM-
Der ever converted in this district In
any one year. Among the charges
thus favored are Gumboro, 394; Somer-
set. 294; Tangier 800; Salisbury Circuit,

THINKS PASTORS
ARE LIKE LAMBS

CHICAGO, March l7.-In elaboration Of
a recent warning TO University Of Chicago
divinity students to beware during their
ministry OF the wiles of women, the Rev.
w Z. Barton, q Congregational pastor,
to-day explains aertain remarks on the
subject made by himself to a Prcsby-
teriau ministers conference.
Il myself" says he, have known Of
number of most diaboiical plots TO entrap
and ruin men Of God who were doing IN
entire innocence what they deemed to be
their duty. These plots are BY no means
uncommon in down town churches"
Mr.. Barton had drawn at the conference
a picture Of preachers without guile beset
by designing women seelling whom they
might devour. He said the average min
lister is a lamb for purity and a child so
far as knowledge OF the world was con-
cerned. For this lamb countless women
were lying in wait, ready, as instruments
of the evil one, TO shear him Of his robe
OF righteousness and hold him up to his
flock and tho scoffing public as a wolf in
sleeps clothing.
II should like 10 say that believe most
clergymen to be good men, but many
good men are indiscreet," said Mr.. Bar
ton In further explaining his remarks
"The same may be said OF many women
church members A clergyman should so
order his life and so safeguard his re'a-
tions with the women OF his>congregation
that no breath OF suspicion should ever
be heard"
One OF the ministers who heard Mr.
Barton's lecture said that he invariably
had his nife answer the telephone be-
cause woman can SPY out evil motives
in another woman more rapidly than a
man

dictionary storm period in progress and

fourth TO the eighth. There will be a
decided rise in the temperature and
cloudiness and rain will attend. On
the eighth and ninth there will be a
cnange to fair and cooler weather.
A reactionary storm period falls on
the eleventh. twelfth, and thirteenth.

during this period. A regular storm
period will be in force from the 6fteen-
th to the twentieth. having its center
on the eighteenth There will be q
sudden change TO very warm on the
fifteenth. Indications Of coming
storms will be in evidence. Wind and
thunder storms will probably be in
evidence between the sixteenth and
twentieth. A change to much cooler
and fair weather will be natural froru
the twentieth to the twenty-third. A
reactionary storm period is central or

twenty-fifth. There will not be much
