things of that kind,
Wr have a good school. here
whith Prof. E. L. Connell as prin

WANTS HIS LETTER.
Rev. Sam Small is in a guandary.
Although he is a preacher of
national reputation, although he is
president of a flourishing young
institution of learning in the land
!of the Mormans, he finds that he
'is a member of no church.
‘There is an intresting story as to
how it all come abount.
Ten years ago before his refor
mation Mr. Small joined Trinity
church during a revival conducted
by Dr. Heith, and lived up to its
requirements for some time.
Gradually he began drifting
away from religion, and the ties
that bound him to the chnrch were
snapped assunder in the whirlponl
of dissipation.
Years passed, and Mr. Small
was regarded as a hopeless wreck
of intemperance. .
Finally he attended the meeting
of Rev. Sam Jones, in Cartersville,
where he professed conversion.
’ Since then he has been doing a
wonderful amount of good but his
‘own actions have caused him to
i lose his church letter for which he
is now looking,
No actiou was ever taken against
Mr. Small by Trinity church when
he stroyed away inte the fold at
Cartersville, he still kept his mem
bership at Trinity.
When he entered the Episcopal
churck Trinity took it for
granted that he had voluntarily
withdrawn, so he was consider
ed no longer a member.
When he announeed his candi
dacy for the legislature the Episco
pal church theought he c¢ould not
| consistently preach and legislate
at the same time. 5
Before the election, however,
and while matter, so far as Mr.
Small was concerned, were in
“statn quo’” he went to Utah, the
land of the mormons, and wkhile
there was offered the presidency
of the new university of learning,
belonging to the Methodist.
The offer was too tempting to re
fuse, and Mr. Small accepted it,
although he was an Episcopalian.
- Of course this action severed his
‘connection with that church.
When he wrote to see about a
letter from the Methedist church
he found that he was considered
by the members an Kpiscopalian,
so he has a membership in no
church, being a religous waif, so
to speak.
The Utah church will probably
receive him into the church there,
notwithstanding the predicament
in which he has placed himself.
