 We were having a love feast at the church" said Rev. MT. Eley in ex- plaining the matter today when call eided that we wouldn't have any in- strumentaI music in connection with the service.

The service. was near an end ana nao Just Sdl0 Amen and the Doxology was about to begin when Mrs. Ross rushed to the. pulpit from her place at the organ and in an angry manner began to call me names and say some very hateful things.

You are a ministerial fake and a thief She said many other things too, and it was very dis agreed ble. I realize that the woman was angry and didn't say a word in reply to her, and after a while she was taken from the church by her father. The following Tuesday the church held a meeting and decided that she be expelled. guess she has attended Sunday school once since then.
 s4I didn't think that she used me properly, and as long as she arraigned me as she did in public I thought it no more than right thaT she retract in public. I took the matter up with --esrs lawyer IT. E. Morgan and she hired Attorney George s.
