AH Is serene again ,at the Edgewood Baptist church. The clouds that have lowered over the congregation since Rev. George Barnwell was dropped on the charge of trying to "kiss the pretty wife of the Sunday school superintendent, have cleared away. There was a genuine love feast at the church Sunday night. C. A. London, superintendent of the Sunday school, has hod a hard time re cently. Since the trouble with the pan- tor the church has been almost split Into two ractlons. There have been mutterings of discontent In the congregation, and the friends of the pastor and the friends of the superin tendent were aligned on opposite sides. Tills broke Into a storm a week ago, when Rev, George Barnwell, former pastor of the church, occupied a front seat at the evening services. Superin tendent London, smarting under what he considered persecution by the mem bers of the Barnwell faction, rose from his seat and approached Mr. Barnwell. There he denounced bitterly the former pastor, who had dared to come to the church from which he had been drop ped and occupy a conspicuous scat. A Reconciliation. But last night, a week after this oc currence, things took a different turn. The services were Just closing, and as the final hymn waa being sung and the hearers were urged to come.forward to the mourners’ bench, Mr. London arose and asked for the attention, Every man and woman In the church knew of the circumstances which had caused trouble during past weeks. None knew what was coming next. In a voice choked with emotion, Mr. London drew a picture of his boy hood home la the mountains of Ten nessee, of his old father, who had Im- a Christian and forgiving spirit,. 's death b ‘ told of his father's He bed and his _ to his five sons. hen, after a brief pause, Mr. London turned toward Mr. Barnwell, who sat on the opposite side of the church, and with extended arms he eald: "Brother Barnwell, 1 give you my hand." The former pastor sprang to his feet and crossed the church to meet the su perintendent. Their hands clasped across the aisle, and men and women In all parts of the church rose to their feet to see the reconciliation. Bobs and shouts mingled In the excitement of the moment. The conclusion of the serv ice was Interrupted by a general hand shaking In which .everybody Joined. When the last strain of "Bleat Be the Tie That Binds” had died away, and the benediction had been pronounced, the congregation still lingered to talk over the reconciliation. May Reinstate Pastor. The differences between Mr. Barn well and Mr. London arose about two months ago, when Mrs. London told her husband that the pastor had called at her home and tried to kiss her. This was followed by the dismissal of Mr. Barnwell from his pulpit, which has not yet been permanently filled. It Is now- expected that, since the reconciliation, an effort will bo made to have the for mer pastor reinstated. He still lives In Edgewood, near the church, with his wife and family, and numbers many friends In the Edgewood congregation. The revival services which are being held at the Edgewood church have been growing In Interest, and It Is believed by the congregation that the religious fervor Inspired at the meetings has had much to do with the reconciliation. The revival Is being conducted by Rev. J. T. Baxter, the evangelist, who Is as sisted by K. H.

"This money, of course, will come to me through the hands of tne comptroller general, the taxes of all corporations of this kind being paid to him.
