lneighborly or companionable than
the other churches, for that, it was
not; and everybody knew it was not.
Its pretension was that it was more
desirable as a church home for a
certain class of people because it's
membership was more exclusive than
that of the other churches
What's exclusive Steveo" inter
rupted Inness.
why, it means that they were a
set, all by themselves; a sort OF a
choice lot, like you'd get together
picked lot of steers and heifers out
Of a common herd, Frank"
"Oh, say, Petrie, amt you putting
that rather strong?" asked Ezra
Finch.
why, no, l reckon not I'm only
telling you what their claim was.
They were entitled to greater respect
because they were richer and wore
better clothes, their church building
was fine structure and everything
about it was fashionable and up to
date. Besides, they had formed a
kind OF a social club, where they
used to play euchre, seven-up and
other games not strictly religious or
particularly helpful in a spiritual
way"
Were they more moral? more
actively good than others? seems to
me with the opportunities they en-
joyed they must have been a power
for good in that town." said Jasper
Grimes.
If they were any better than 9TH
ers, their left hand was kept in ig-
norance of what their right was do
ing, and their light must have been
hid under basket, replied Petrie.
There was one thing about that
church, however" he went on to say
which, If it had been honorably
done would have been highly COM
mendable. In certain way, it was
an aggressive institution a few of
its members were active scouts, al
ways alive and on the lookout for
people who were supposed to have
money and standing in the town. If
stranger came into the place who
seemed to be desirable they got after
him, Johnny on the spot; but what
got me and l guess about everybody
else that knew thg situation, was the
fact that heir evangelistic efforts were
not confined to persons outside of
the churches. They made no distinc-
tions that way.
Every stranger settling in the
place, even though he was a member
| in good standing in a sister church
at his former home-if he was ac-
counted desirable, was considered
legitimate prey. and if possible, in
duced to deposit his church letter
with-"The church Of the strangers"
