with him that it was decided to employ
him at a salary of 500 month. He
claimed that his home was in Kansas

at the end Of a month he left Clover
presumably for the purpose of going
after his family and bringing them to
Glover. Ale was paid s1OO for his first
months salary and the church advanc-
ed him a second 800 for moving ex-
penses Weeks elapsed and nothing
was heard of him. Officials of the
church, finally becoming suspicious of
his conduct, made inquiry and finally
got into correspondence with him. BE
claimed that he could not accept the
pastorate and after considerable trou-
BILE AMI inconvenience they finally Sc
cured from him the return Of the 500
advanced for moving expenses. That
was the last heard Of him until the
