byterian Crurch on the Res
ignatiOn of Rev. S. o. Hall.
Whereas, our pastor, the Rev.
is. 0. Hall, has earnestly re-
quested this congregation to
join him in petitioning Lafayette
Presbytery to dissolve the exist
ing relation of Pastor and Con-
gregation, this congregation
hereby desires to express its ap-
probation of the faithful con-
scientious labor of our pastor in
our midst, ever jealous for the
extention of Gods Kingdom /;
it was his joy and pleasure dur
ing the four years Of his pastor
ate here to witness the begins
nings and growth of three new
Mission Sabbath Schools; the
erection of South Side Chapel, as
well as the receiving by letter
and profession of faith of eighty
new members into the Church.
His true Christian spirit mani
Testing itself at all times and un-
der all circumstances has en-
deared him to all who came in
personal contact with him; his
stand in favor of all temperance
movements, his firm attitude in
advocating the sanctity of the
Sabbath, his diligent observance
Of all the means of Grace, has
been an inspiration to the con-
gregation and the subject of
favorable comment by the mem
bers of our sister churches.
Throughout our little city are
many humble homes not direct
ly connected with our Church
where the news of Mr.. Halls
departure will be received with
sincere regret, for with ever
ready sympathy he entered be-
reaved homes bringing to the
heavy hearted and sorrowing
the comforts of Gods Holy
Word.
In financial matters Mr.. Hall
has been the faithful helper of
our officers bringing the duty
and privilege of giving fire.
quently to the hearts and con-
sciences of his people from the
pulpit; a debt of long standing
has been lifted; the church edi-
flee beautifed by extensive inn
provements and various beneyo-
lences literally subscribed to
during his pastorate.
The congregation also desires
to acknowledge with sincere ap-
probation the assistance, en-
couragement and support rem
dered Mr.. Hall by his wife who
was indefatigable in her efforts
of doing good among the people,
visiting the sick and poor, organ
izing a Bible Study Class among
our young women and in many
other channels sending out the
sweet influence of a true Chris
tian woman consecrated to the
work.
Therefore, be it resolved by
this congregation at a regularly
called congregational meeting,
that we shall remember Mr..
Halls diligent and faithful SER
vice during his pastorate here
and commend him and his fam
lily to the loving care of our
Heavenly Father, praying Gods
blessing upon them in their
new field of labor.
To each of them we say, may:
"The Lord preserve thy going
out and thy coming in from this
time forth, and even forever
more"

CHAPTER xxi,

Bibbs was the only Sheridan to sleep
soundly through the night and to wake
at dawn with a light heart. His cheer
fulness was vaguely diminished by the
trOublous state of affairs In his family.
Btbbs was a sym pathetic person, cas-
lily touched, but he was indeed living
in a dream, and all things outside of
it were yelled and remote-for that is
the way of youth in a dream. And
Bibbs, who had never before been Of
any age, either old or young. had come
to his youth at last.
He went whistling from the house
before even his father had come up
stairs. There was fog outdoors, sat
urated with fine powder Of SCOT, and
though B1bbs noticed absently the dim
shape of an automobile at the curb
before Roscoe's house, he did not rec
ognize it as Doctor Gurneys but went
cheerily on his way through the dingy
mist. And when he was once more in
stalled beside his faithful zinc eater
he whistled and sang to it. as other
workmen did to their own machines
sometimes, when things went well.
His comrades in the shop glanced at
him amusedly now and then. They
liked him, and he ate his lunch at noon
with a group Of socialists who ap-
proved of his ideas and talked of elect
ing him to their association.
The short days Of the year had come,
and it was dark before the whistles
blew. When the signal came, Bibbs

pay it the compliment Of admitting It's
existence.
The Saturday following Edith's de-
parture Quincy came to the Sheridan
building to dress the wounds and to
have a talk with Sheridan which the
doctor felt had become necessary. But
he was little before the appointed
time and was obliged to wait few
minutes In an anteroom-there was a
directors meeting Of some sort In
Sheridan's office. The door was slight
ly ajar, leaking cigar smoke and ora
tory, the latter all Sheridan's, and Cur
ney listened. H-
No, sir; no, sir; no, STRIP he heard
the big voice rumbling, and then,
breaking into thunder, 81 tell you NO!
Some o. you men make me sicki You'd
lose your confidence In Almighty God
If doodlebug tipped his hind leg at
you! You say moneys tight all over
the country. Well, what If 1t is?
There's no reason for 1t to be tight,
and It's not goin' to keep our money
tight! You're always runnin' to the
woodshed to hide your nickels In a
crack because some fool newspaper
says the markets little skeery! You
listen to every street-corner croaker
and then come and set here and try
to- scare me out OF big thing.
We're In on this-understand? 1 tell
you there never was better times.
These are good times and big times,
and Y won't stand for any other
kind o. talk. This country's on It's feet
as it never was before, and this city's
on its feet and goin' to stay there"
And Quincy heard series OF whacks
and thumps upon the desk. Bad

accompanying thumps. rabbit talk!
These times are glorious. I tell you!
We're in the promised land, and we're
go!a' to stay there! That's all, gentle
men. The loan goes"
The directors came forth, flushed
and murmurous, and Quincy fastened
In. His guess was correct: Sheridan
had been humping the desk with his
right hand. The physician scolded
wearif3, making good the fresh dam
age as best he might; and then he said
what he had to say on the subject OF
Roscoe and Silgi, his opinion meet
ing, as he exr.cted, warmly hostile
reception eBut the result of this con-
versa ton was that by telephone COM

Edith was reduce! to telephoning
I.amhorn from shops whenever she
could juggle her mother into a momen-
tary distraction over a counter.
Edith was incomparably more In
love than before Lamhorn's expulsion.
Ter whole being was nothing but the
determination to hurdle everything
that separated her from him She was

fed her passion and fed 1t hourly fuel
by opposing to 1t an intolerabIe force.
He swore she should cool, and thus set
her on fire
Edith planned neatly. She fought
hard, every other evening, with her
father, and kept her bed between times
TO let him see what his violence had
done to her. Then, when the mere
sight OF her set him TO breathing fast,
she said pitiabiy that she might bear
her trouble If she went away; 1t was
impossible to be In the same town with
Lamhorn and not think always of him.
Perhaps in New York she might forget
a little. She had written TO s school
friend. established quietly with an
aunt in apartments-and month or
so OF theaters and restaurants might
bring peace. Sheridan shouted with
relief; he gave her a copious check,
and she left upon q Monday morning,
wearing violets with her mourning,
and having kissed everybody goodby
except Sibyl and Bibhs. She might
have kissed Bibbs, but he failed to
realize that the day Of her departure
had arrived, and was surprised, on re-
turning from his zinc eater that eve
ming, TO find her gone. 81 suppose
they'll be married there" he said, cas-
ually.
Sheridan, warming his stockinged
feet at the fire, jumped up, Tuning.
Either you go out O. here, or l will,
Bibbs!" he snorted. ST don't want to

Bibbs obeyed the gesture Of hand
still bandaged. And the black silk
sling was still round Sheridan's neck
but no word Of Gurney's and no excru-
chatting twfnge Of pain could keep Sher-
idan's hand in the sling. The wounds,
slight enough originally, had become

few minutes later and joined her hus-

Edith and Sibyl began to scream in
suits at each other simultaneously,
fronting each other, their furious faces
close. Their voices shrilled and rose
and cracked-they screeched. They
could be heard over the noise of the
photograph, which was playing a

"Tll tell your husband again! I'll

They were swept asunder by ban

There fell a shocking silence. Fren-

slowly toward the door; then suddenly
she began to run. She ran into the
hall, and through it, and out of the
