VIRGINIANS LOCK
Church Doors ON
A. N. E. Minister
Especial to The Tribune)

Winchester, Va, May 1S.-Determ-
ined they did not want Rev. J. H.
Hawkins to serve them any longer
as pastor, the trustees of st. Paul A.
M. E. church, of this city, locked the
church doors, and in addition nailed
and boarded them UP when the min
lister was returned to the pastorate by
Bishop Johnson at the close of the
annual conference held in Roanoke.
During the past year there has been
much dissension in the congregation
and the Rev. Hawkins has become
unpopular with trustees, stewards and
members of the church. The pastor
had deposed certain officials of the
church, among them Mrs. Lucy Parker
treasurer, and had installed others in
their places. Mrs. Parker declined to
turn over the funds, and this added to
the complications. Steps are being
taken to restore harmony in the con-
gregation.

'sents a cleverly worked out word pic
ture game for the edification of its
readers. To add zest to the game,
we are offering the cash prizes listed

existence of many things; but the
latter knows "bullhead" when he
sees it. So there you are.

knowledge 'b." From an educational
standpoint they will be ahead. From
financial standpoint they are not

new subscribers this way-also a very
desirable result of the game. Try your
skill. Every member of the family
can play and all have an equal chance
