PASTOR EXPELLED.
Improperly Addressed Missive Goes
To Dead Letter Office.

Lexington, Va, Nov. at the
regular monthly business meeting OF
the Baptist Church, former pastor
John Thomas Jenkins was expelled
from church membership, after being
denied letter of dismissal for which
he had applied. The action of the
church brings to light a sensantioal
story that has been kept pretty well
under cover for the past three or
four months.
Mr.. jenkins resigned his pastorate
here very suddenly last July and has
since moved to Kansas City. Mo. Let
ters had been granted to members of
his family who had belonged to the
local church, but his own request for
q letter had been denied once or twice,
owing to the fact that he was not in
good standing with his church.
The cause of Mr.. jenkins undoing
was letter written by him to d young
woman in New York City. This let
ter was not addressed properly and
could not be delivered. Bearing no re-
turn card it was sent TO the dead
letter office. Examination revealed no
name of sender, but it happened that
Mr.. Jenkins had enclosed in the letter
to the woman letter from one of the
Baptist leaders of the State, COM
mending his work there.
The dead letter office forwarded the
letter to the Baptist leader, and in
this way the information reached the
members of the local church. He was
summoned before body Of Baptist
ministers charged with his wrong
doing and requested not only to give
up his work here but to quit the Bap-
fist ministry. This he asreed TO do
and his resignation followed. At the
time comparatively few Of his mem
bers knew Of it and all were astound-
ed when the revelation came.
The vote Saturday night on his ex-
pulsion was five to one in favor of it,
and shows beyond doubt the feeling
OF the church toward their former
leader.

.CHALoNER A NEWSPAPER MAN.
VIII Start Journal When He Gets His
Fortune.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 19.-Billed as
lecture on the "Philosophic Aspect
christianity" John Armstrong
aaloner's address at the Rex The
re Sunday night wandered from its
,elf-set limits and browsed vigorously
n the fields of political economy, So
aiology and applied ethics.
Only in the closing fifteen minutes
of his lecture did the speaker ap-
roach his subject and then only 1ons
aough to visit his wrath upon the
ctimonious Christianity which eX-
~sses itself. in ostentatious giving
. refined prayer, and yet retains
erneath heart rotten to the core.
m drew his conclusions, he said, from
arvations in his own family cir
u so no one need be offended.
ar Chaloner read from manu-
pit Astounding in vigorous Ian
&c. He began first with round
denunciation, mmr11shr hit hit hit
unciatio nof the MASKING evil on
Load street, lodging his chief COM
plant against lax enforcement OF
the laws. The remedy, he said, was
a force of plain clothes men placed
at congested corners, with lnstruc-
ton to arrest every man who adj
dresses passing woman and receives
no reply"
The eradicatio nof this and kim
dred evils, said the master Of Merry
Minis will be devoted his efforts during
the coming month. They alone, ne
said handicap Richmond's progress,
already great in commerce and manu-
featuring. If necessary he says, ne
will publish a series of pamphlets
embodying the subject matter Of his
Forthcoming lectures and distribute
them gratis.
"And just as soon as win my suit
against the law firm in Wall street
that is keeping me from my rightful
fortune said Mr.. Chaloner,' will
start in this city weekly newspaper
to give greater publicity to the re-
form l advocate. A weekly will suf-
flee as a beginning. If the response
justifes l may change it into daily
later"
The speaker found time to haul
over the Goals the "gang of gilded
gun men," whom he said, tried to rob
him of his reason by securing his
confinement in Bloomingdale, and even
plotted to rob him of his property af=
ter his demise.
That a diet of bread and water
not only brings the ruddy glow OF
health to the cheeks and strength to
the muscles, but is also recipe for
perfect personal Christianity was the
theory advanced by Mr.. Chaloner
Applying the discovery 'as a reci-
pc for personal Christianity. Mr..
Chaloner declared that any man who
could subsits ma def of bread and
water indefinitely had the will power
to resist any temptation that was
thrust upon him, and therefore could
become: sinless man.
