Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1913-03-21

chaIr recognized Sister Susannah Rel,a
soinn. Sister Susannah was OF ex-
ceeding comeliness and a ligbt-brown
compiexion. If report spake truly.
there was no one in Zion who had
more reason to dread fearless and
minute exposition Of the demands of
Inc seventh commandment. She had
started her career as 4 DESTROYER of
domestic peace with a capital Of good
looks, a gift for cookery, a voice of
silver, and two small unprecedented
children. A single pusson like me
wld no chillen,' would be her plain
i've excuse for demanding the good
oInces OF the brothers in cutting wood
or palm in her gyardin;" and too
o1ten, under the spell of Susannah's
eyes and Susannah's voice and Su-
sannah's cooking, the end of an inno-
cent neighborly kindness was a zeal
GUS wife and parting" Sometimes
ousannah welded the departing hus-
oand. sometimes she f1outed him: but
steadily, single or welded, Susannah's
little garden-plot grew more beauti-
Iul, Susannah's kitchen range accu-
muiated more dazzling array Of tin
and copper, and Susannah's best room
was more splendidly bedecked with
curtains. pillow-shams, and q gilt mir
ror.
AT present speaking, the dark en-
chantress was the lawful welded wife
Of the young blacksmith, and the
whole population had admired to see
her enter the holy estate in white
Swiss muslin and voluminous veil
which she utilized, later, as a window
curtain. She now inquired with much
pleasing modesty Of mien: II Jest want
to ask. Mist Cheerman. how're veal
to git Sist' Humphreys to go If she
don wanter?"
Signs, allied to groans, bore testi-
mony that she had voiced the fore
bodings of the audience. But q visit
ing brother who had the courage Of
his non-residence, came to the front;

She sank down in her seat and wept
quietly, while the impressionable Afri-
can temperament sent forth pious
calculations: "Holp, Lawd!" "Fotch
ccmfort!' Bless de mo'nahs!" The
schoolmistress was in tears, and the
stalwart young man near her openly
wiped his eyes. Brother Moore bent
his brows; even Brother Morrow
winked hard; but Sister Susannah's
emotion was most in evidence; she
was sobbing violently into a pink-em-
broidered handkerchief. Presently
she rose to her feet. Now Susannah
was the woman who had lured the
wretched murderer through a brutal
passion to brutal crime, and the

faces Of Sister Humphreys support
ers through her half-shut eyes, and
smiled her languid, mysterious smile.
But of sudden one of the two
striplings who had spoken for Sister
Humphreys left his place by the win
dow and ran to the door,
With instant premonition of peril,
the flock of Zion turned on the bench
es. A deep intake of breath signified
their dismay as there entered a tall
brown woman in widows weeds. She
casta calm, full eye over the faces I'M
der the lamplights- faces already
stricken awry with fear; for, notwith-
standing their numbers and apparent
strength of position, dread OF the pas
tor insisted. as light insists through
closed eyelids.
Sister Humphreys walked with no
row was so short a man and she was
so tall a woman that her handsome
head lowered above his. She was a
brown negro, but her lighter color and
her regular features and thinner,
more sensitive lips were due to no adj
mixture of white blood; they came
from dash of the yellow races mixed
long before her time in the old world,
where her ancestors were barbaric
princes. She stood with the incom-
parable grace that is given sometimes
to the bearer of burdens, tall, erect,
shapely. She spoke in a mellow rich
voice not raised a note above its
speaking tone.
rs this heah meetin'?" gently in
terrogated Sister Humphreys of Broth
er Morrow, "or have you-all done
aju'ned?"
1--WE done aju'ned, sistah," Brother
Morrow replied quickly, flinching from
possible trap.
In that CASE Sister Humphreys ar
gued at once, will you kindly take
YOU seat an let me speak TO- de las
time to Zion Baptis' chu'ch?"
1t was impossible to refuse hear
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1913-03-21

he suggested that letter be sent to
the sister, announcing the sense of the
meeting, saying that the congregation
was not edited by her ministrat1ons
and that the church-house would be
closed until new pastor had been
selected.
..De motion, as de cheer Understands
H. are to dismiss Sist' Esmereldy
Humphreys an shet de dos on her"
said the chairman. "Is-what is It.
Sist' Macklin ?"
He spoke kindly, and the woman
whom he addressed seemed in need OF
kindness, since she was trembling Wis
ibly. She was little creature in the
pathetic compromise for mourning
which poverty makes with grief-her
accustomed winter jacket of brown,
but with a somber garnishment OF
crane. black ribbons on her old gray
hat. and a black border to her hand
kerchief.
The congregation looked at her, pity
ingly. as she began in the high-pitched
voice of the unaccustomed speaker:
"Bruddah Morrow mean Bruddah
Cheerman, Z are right mortified Sist
Humphreys done chastise you all; but
r lest got to bar my testimony you-all
are mistaken bout her bein' crool. Oh,
dear bruddahs an sistahs, she amt!
you-aIl knows my-my boy'-she
choked over the word, and the hearers
waited in mute and awkward compass
sion. because her boy, the last OF her
children. had been hanged at the little
county-seat only month before Tor

eyes Of the congregation were focused
upon her.
"Bruddahs, sistahs,' said Susannah
in her wonderful voice, with its
chords of plaintive music, which made
her hearers grin out of sheer emotion,
II new did aim to do dat POI young
man hurt; but he sayd things to me,
t'ings'-she sighed and hung her head
he hadn't orter have sayd, him
bein' married man; an ben right
mad at him, an own up / done him
right onchristian an onmussiful, for
didn't show no sympathy or even go

it amt mare preachin' Of Sist' Humph-
reys done give me brokin an con-
trary HART. Her scorchin' don make
me mon. Hit cakes up my HART. She
new did have one single revival. Rev.
Bulkely of de Ridge he does have a
mighty big one ever spring; you kin
hear de screeches mos a mile! He
tol me hisse'f he w'u'd be wil1in' to
flock, an, mo'ovah, he toll me dat we
all c'u'dn't have Sist' Humphreys nor
no woman preach to us; for it ben
ag'in' de rule of de Baptis' chu'ch.
Hit ben forbid. We cayn't be Baptis'
an keep Sist' Humphreys
With meek grace Susannah resumed
her seat and the sheltering support of
the blacksmith's arm. She had won.
Now that way OF escape was opened
IA way, moreover, ending in daz-
zling vista OF a big revival, mo
sympathy for the Widow Macklin
could induce Zion to face the fiery
chariots of the Seventh Commandment
driven by Sister Humphreys.
In spite of the schoolmistress' elo-
quence and the stumbling speech Of
two boys who tried to tell that Sister
Humphreys had done heap for them,
when the vote was put, only six of the
forty-eight persons present voted to
retain the preacher. Brother Moore
declined to vote.
