REV. JOYCE FOUND GUILTY

Roanoke, Va, Jan. 25.-Ihe
jury of ministers trying the Rev.
W. H Joyce, pastor of Trinity
church, on charges Of conduct un-
becoming a clergyman and pastor,
returned a verdict of guilty. The
Jury consisted of thirteen ministers
every one of them selected from
charges in the Baltimore confer
ence. A number of witnesses were
examined. The taking of evidence
was closed about noon Monday
The afternoon was given over to
the argument of the Rev. p. r.
Register, of Baltimore, representing
Mr.. Joyce. and the Rev. Fl. P
Hamill, of Blacksburg.
The verdict of the jury means
that Mr.. Joyce is expelled from the
Southern Methodist church, anc
that unless he can in some way OBJ
tain reversal of judgment his
ministerial career is at an end, Tht
jury, it is understood, was unani
nous in its verdict
No attempt, it is said, was made
to show that there was, ever hac
been, any immoral relationship be
tween Mr.. Joyce and the woman
connected with the case. The
word immortality is used in
broad sense in trials of this kind
and is made applicable to all kinds
of charges. The sole otfense ALLEGED
against Mr.. Joyce was in the writ
ing of the letter which contained
expressions of endearment not il
keeping With the character of hi:
calling. And of this offense Mr.
Joyce is found guilty, according tt
the jury's verdict.

the fact be known that we, as

important events: First, we have
gotten school organized which IL
getting along nicely under the man
agement of Miss M. B. Stephenson,
whose thorough education and ex-
perience fully equips her for her
duties. And yet it seems uncon-
scionable and uncompromising IN
deed that we the patrons OF this
large school with "a scholars en-
rolled, should have to reach down
in our pocket books that had just
been closed after paying our heavy
school taxes, and pay the teacher;
and in order to secure a school Tor
our children who have the same
talent all other children have. The
old plea used to be no funds; now
its a dearth of teachers. Other years
previous to this we would get a
school every other term but now
haven't had any for two years. We
have borne this kind of thing pa
tiently and sat back and said moth
ing at all, and have seen all other
districts furnished with teachers,
new buildings and all modern ap-
planes needful to run the free
school. Where does our money
go to any way?
