Meleen frowned In perplexity. II

spent in the open air with only the

the end was near, he dreaded the crib

Sexes Divided In Church.

The separation OF the sexes seems
TO have been formerly by no means as
uncommon practice In the Church Of
England. In fact. Edward Wis prayer

communion service .the men shall
tarry on one side and the women on
the other" The papers Of church
in Westmoreland include elaborate d.
rections for the division Of the sexes
at its services.
