There is an old Dutch town not a
hundred miles from New York which
up to few years ago, when a but
ton factory was located there, was
very much in the condition Of New
York when that city was called New
Amsterdam. They have church
there where the congregation has
been used to listening to the same
kind of preaching ever since the place
was settled, and the same organist
has diseoursed the same kind of music
for half a century.
A. new minister was called to the
church recently. but his call to the
pastorate was followed by his being
called down, for he shocked the con.
gregation by preaching socialism and
woman's rights. he had been chosen
on account of his name, which was

that they would listen to the same

been so long accustomed When they

Miss Katrina Van Schoonerhoyen, a
member of this Anticipated congre-
cation, one day lost her bearing so
far as to permit the use Of her domi-
Gle for a suffragette meeting. From
every side came protests that one of
the old Dutch circle should lend her
house for such a purpose. Miss Van
Schoonerhoven explained, averring
that she was not a suffragette herself
and had lent her house for purpose
of which she did not even approve. In
the midst of her embarrassment there
came ring at the telephone.
