The time for which Elder Brown, of the Christian church, has been employed closes with the \ ear. A committee of the church has been soliciting subscriptions with a view of having him another year, and the amount was almost made when the election occurred. Some of the members of the church believed Mr. Brown to he a prohibitionist, while others thought he was for Bryan, and when they learned he had voted for McKinley they ordered their names taken oft’ of the subscription list, and some even went so far as to accuse tiieir pastor of deeei ving them. It i- due Elder Brown to say that during hi- more live years work here he has never preached politics from the pulpit, in fact some of his best friends did not know to what political belie! he held. The action taken by those members, and they are quite a minority, is 'very much regreted not only by the I rest of the membeis. but'bv everyone ' in the community.
