Ministers Blamed
In the mood for geeting things
off his chest, Nichols took the
ministers to task for the poor con-
dition of the building which show
ed very definitely it had been
neglected for long period.
Further, he wanted to know why
he had TO answer an embarrassed

pany representatives asked the
number of extinquishers, sand buc-
kets. water buckets, etc.
He also wanted to know why
they were holding the meeting
in a dingy little room on an up
per floor.
IF anyone in the building has
TO be cooped up, it shouldn't be

do any better than this. you ought
Most important of all, however,
the Bishop really wants to know
whether he's going to remain the
owner Of the Allen Building
He says the property isn't what
he would have chosen for an in
vestment and he brought 1t to up
hold the prestige OF his denomin-
alton.

SENTENCE SERMON
By Rev. Frank Clarence Lowry

/. II you don't want to reap
what you SOW then don't sell Christ
cheap as you go.
2. Christ is not around to defend
Himself or make any demands,
so He is at the mercy of your
hands.
3. You can fly around and show
Him off, but this just tends to
cheaper His enemies scott.
A. Everytime you make be-
heve you are on Christ's side, you
only make it easier for other
folks to hide.
5. Making excuses doesn't help
Him either, it is action that
counts or you continue to sell Him
cheaper,
6. Many who lived in His day
made a lot of pretentious noise,
but He could trust only those of
staunch purpose and spiritual
polse.
7. The band-wagon pretenders
today stand close by on dress par
adc but when Christ's Kingdom
must be defended, their interest
begins to fade.
s. Men following far behind
Christ are still after the lump and
the heap, and when it is not forth
coming they quickly sell Him
cheap.
9. We sell Him cheap when there
is something wrong we want to
do, and let Him hang upon the
cross until we are thru.
10 We sell Him cheap when we
take part in shady deals in which
we think we can personally reap.
II. We sell Crhist cheap when
we compromise a principle for per
sonal gain and honor, and wake up
to late to rectify the blunder.

Of partition Of property, begun by
Mrs. Sherwood.
Judge Parks intimAted from the
bench that he will not make an
immediate decision, but will hold

for awhile, TO give the parties an
opportunity to adjust their DIFF
ferences by way Of stipulation Of
settlement.
The Judge further intimated
that in the event they do not, the
property win be sold pursuant TO
statute, and the net proceeds d.
vded between the parties as their
respective interests appear.
Mrs. Harriet Sherwood, u, the
first person TO take the witness
stand, questioned by her attorney,
Hammond Turner. revealed she
had advanced $500 as a down
payment on the house she pres
entity occupies, 972 Iglehart Ave.

she paid the money, q check Of
$500 and another Of $500, this
payment would relieve her Of any
other expenses Of upkeep of the
house, such a. rent, mortgage, in
s1rance and the like.
Al first difficult TO get clear
replies from, Mrs. Sherwood soon
relaxed and answered the ques-
tons asked her by Turner and
Judge Parks.
Turner: Did you know 10 whom
you were making the checks?
Mrs. Sherwood: Yes.
Turner: To whom did you make
them?
Mrs. Sherwood: To Mr.. Louis

cause she did not want to be wor-
Red with the handling Of money
and the transaction OF business.
Turner: How did you know
there was a house on IglehRrt?
Sherwood Rev. Williams told
me.
Turner: How did this happen7
Sherwood: had asked him to
find me an apartment. He was my
priest and / trusted him. did not
like the room where was living,

me.

Sherwood moved back to st. Paul
According TO her, Williams

ed anything to me.
Mrs. Sherwood remained on the
witness stand the rest Of Thurs
day. She testified that because Of
the anxiety, and waiting for pa
pers, she had been left nervous
and extremely upset
Sentiment was strong on both
sides Of the parties. Friends Of
each party filled the small court
room each day Of the trial.
The process Of getting informa-
ton TO build up the testimony
was a slow, methodical one. Dates,
conversations, and reasons for ac-
lions were sought. Most Of the
testimony came from the plaintiff
and the defendant.
Friday morning. attorney for
the defendant, Roland F. West,
cross examined Mrs. Sherwood,
She stated she asked for legal
papers about a month after NOV
ing In the duplex apartment.
West: Why did you ask for pa
pers7
Sherwood: began to get ner-
vOus and feel insecure.
West: Did you ask Mr. Lerman
for a lease on the houseH
Sherwood: No, asked him for
security.
Mrs. Sherwood further stated
that she did not know until the
time Of the trial what Joint tenan-
cy meant, that It was never eX-
planned to her.
Miss Edith Gillard, a witness
for the plaintiff, was called TO the
stand. She had been living with
Mrs. Sherwood since July, 19i7.

sation, Mrs. Sherwood asked the
plaintiff for papers and ne asked
Mrs. Sherwood to come to his
apartment TO discuss things When
she came down the stairs, Miss
Gillard said Mrs. Sherwood was
weeping. and that she prepared
to go with Williams 10 see Ler-
man.
Richard Stokes. who testified
for the plaintiff, stated that as a
friend he wrote a letter to Viii
liams concerning the deed and
got no answer.
Late Friday evening, the Coun-
sci for the defense called Williams
to the stand.
On relating the conversation
that went on between him and the
plaintiff, Williams testified that
Mrs. Sherwood told him she did
not want the deed in her name,
but only the right to live in the
house the rest OF her life. He said
she instructed him to put the
house In his name.
He further testified that Mrs.
Sherwood wanted to pay all the
money for the house, but that he
objected TO that.

Taxes Overlooked"

A fortnight or so ago, the LIST
District leader put up IS, 400 of his
own money on a $54 900 bid when
the Allen Building went under the
sheriff's hammer because someone
overlooked the little matter of
paying taxes for 20 years.
Not long after that, he said,
he was notified that one OF the
machines had been taken out"
Of the building. Investigation
disclosed, he told his audience,
that taken out" really meant
sold.
Who sold the machine, who
authorized its sale, who got how
much money for it and what was
done with the money, the Bishop
doesn't know, but he made II quite
plain that ne intended TO find out
and soon.
He had hardly taken an aspirin
for his headache, the Bishop de-
clared. when word came that the
second land only machine was
also being taken out" Of the
building This time there was nc
mystery involved.
The second machine, ii seems,
was bought in 1910 for $4,000
over a period Of s years. only
$500 had been paid on it and the
linotype company got tired OF
wasting stationary and stamps
asking for the balance. A truck
was sent TO the building to collect
either the money or the machine.
A worker in the plant talked
with Nichols by phone and they
agreed that without q machine the
