THE CLEVELAND COURIER VOL. XV, No, 10.1 Minister Insults Congregation, Connersville, Ind., Jan. Jan 26— The board of trustees of the Main Street Methodist Chnrch will meet to take action against the pastor, the Rev. C. A. A. Whitsitt, a young man who came here last fall. The minister thoroughly scored his congregation Sunday night. In opening he said : “I am most tired of preaching to a congregation of long-faced, dila¬ tory people who profess to he Christians. They are useless tim¬ ber in any church. They look sick and 1 think all sick people should stay at home.” In dealing with the alleged dila¬ tory members he said that someday their old “stiffs” or carcases would be carried into the church and that the preacher would utter lies in eulogizing them for which he would suffer everlasting punishment. During the sermon several prom¬ inent members who were nojt feel¬ ing well surmised that the young orator was striking at them and left the church. Today the trust¬ ees decided to take action. The minister was notified of the inten¬ tions and declared he would tele¬ graph his resignation to District Superintendent Tevis at once.

(From Gainesville Eagle.) On Monday Judge (ones sen¬ tenced Jim Cantrell, convicted as accessory before tlie fact in the murder of Arthur Hawkins at the July term of Hall Superior court, to hang on Friday, the 271I1 of February. it was announced bv counsel for Cantrell—Johnson & Johnson— that notice had already been given of an appeal to the State Hoard of Pardons, and that it would be call¬ ed on either to grant a respite fora few weeks, or a commutation to imprisonment. 'I'llis forms Jim’s last earthly hope. Judge Jones stated to Jim that, in his judgment, he had better be preparing to meet his God in peace, as, owing to the record, it was not likely the Hoard would interfere. Bartow Cantrell’s sentence was not pronounced at this time, for the reason that his case was appealed to the supreme court. The out¬ come is awaited with anxiety on the part of many whose sympathy has been gained, partly on account of his youth. Jim received his sentence with stoical indifference, and seemed en¬ tirely resigned to his fate. NEWS FROM HELEN — Dr. II, K.

The Drunkard’s Dream, Transcribed By “An Old Dotard.” Author Unknown. ‘A\ by Dermot you look healthy now, your dress looks neat and clean, I do not see you drunk about, pray tell me where you’ve been ; ^ our wife and family all are well, you used to use them strange. Oh! you are kinder to them now, how came this happy change?” “It was a dream, a warning voice, that heaven sent to me, To snatch me from a drunkard’s curse, grim want and misery; My wages all were spent on drink, Oh ! what a wretched view, 1 almost broke my Mary’s heart, and starved my children too. V hat was a home or wife to me, I heeded not her sigh, Her patient smiles have welcomed me, while tears did dim her eyes; I’ve often sung in drunken joy, while Mary’s tears did stream, S Qjicn like a beast I fell asleep, and had this warning dream. I Thought I once more staggered home, Oh! what a solemn gloom. I missed my wife, where could she be, and strangers,in the room ; I heard them say, ‘Poor tiling, she’s dead, she led a wretched life, For grief and want has broke her heart, who’d be a drunkard’s wife?’ My children too were weeping round, I scarcely drew my breath, They cry and kiss her lifeless form, for ever stilled in death ; ‘Oh ! father dear, come wake her up, the people say she’s dead, Oh ! make her smile, and speak once more, we’ll never cry for bread. 1 She is not dead, 1 frantic cried and rushed to where she lay, And madly kissed her once warm lips, for ever cold as clay; Dear Mary, speak once more to me, no more I’ll cause you pain, No more I’ll grieve your loving heart, or ever drink again. Dear Mary, speak, ’tis Dermot calls, ‘Why so I do’, she cried, 1 woke and true, my Mary dear was kneeling by iny side; 1 pressed her to my throbbing breast, while tears of joy did stream, And ever since I’ve heaven blessed, for sending me that dream.
