 CTS bench, and to the astonishmens of the congregation, took his plaee | with the penitents. The pasgoi am. the church authorities were tempD sarily ct their wits end tp lt0w what to do with the repentant broth CT who only that morning had been expelled from the congregation. but hurried consultation resulted in the unanimous conviction that there was absolutely no course open to them except to embrace the erring and Fenentant brother and receive him back into fellowship. This was done. and Mir. Clark has been a good and consistent member of the Camp bellite church to this day.
 "HoiyappIes" Wasn't t"e Nanne.

The renort. inst re- "e'veS states that none was Dur- chased; but the inquiry of the c"n- eressmsn derives It's tonch of hnmor from the fact that it rhonetica'iY re- fers to the makes of raint as Roth | iens" and "Holyapnles''
 Humor Even in Potash Fiuht. 1T humor can creep into conRres-

This is evidenced by the i fact that the Secretary Of state is taking personal charge of the nss5 tiations. and there are likely to be Drotests on the floor of congress at any time.
