There have been lot of unkind

bert. Il did not feel that could con-
tinue in the work, as | could not put
the same spirit into it as before.
Il am going into business and shall
retain my membership in Elmwood
temple at the request of the trustees.
My resignation is purely voluntary and
was not taken as the result of any ac-
ton by the people of the church. At
the meeting of the trustees last month
they urged me to stay.
The worst thing the ministers can
say against me is that married man
who had been divorced for committing
a statutory offence. 1t was simply his
money which called attention to the
marriage, and If 1t had been a poor
man nothing would have been said.
There are lots of ministers in this city
who have done the same thing, and l
can prove 1t. The very fact that my
own association did not censure me
proves It,"

business he is to enter and said he did
not know what the chances were OF his
