Bo Patient with tho Living.
Rwect friend, when thou and I art gono
lieyond earth's weary labor,
"When small shall be our need of jrraec
From comrade or from neighbor;
Pissed all the strife, the toil, the care,
And done with all the siyf.inj;?
"What tender truth shall we have gained,
A l<iv t >,v' winmlv ilvilli? !
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swill our faults too see,
Shall no delect discover,
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep liill path, will scatter flowers
About our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and I,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Slfould take the earnest le.?son homeBe
patient with.thc living!
To-day's repressed rebuke may save
Our blinding tears to-morrow ;
Then patience e'en when keenest edge
May wet a nameless sorrow.
'Tis easy to he gentle when
Death's silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamour;
But wise it were for ihee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home?
13epatient with the living!

IN HIS INDISCRETION HE PUT HIS ARMS
ASOUT THE WAISTS OF THE
WRONG WOMEN.
In Conseqncnce the Church Committee
feel Constrained *'to Relieve'
it the Duty of the Church to With-'
draw Fellowship from Him.*'
| Greenville iVeica.]
The Rev. W. I). May field relumed to this '
city on Sunday and on Monday answered at
Sandy Springs Baptist church, where a
church counsel was assembled to try him for j
"conduct unbecoming a Christain kchticman."
The counsel represented the Greenville,
Washington No -, Betheul, Piedmont
and Sandy Springs Baptist churches. The!
Rev. Dr. Chas. Manly, the Rev. Dr. Fnrman
and the Rev. Dr. Mundy represented tiiei
Greenville church.
The specifications were that Dr. May field |
had taken or attempt to take improper liber- j
ties with two ladies, sisters, in the lower sec- j
tlon of the county. The ladiesare of the high-!
est respectability and standing and there is no1
breath against the name of either of them. I
Dr. Mayfleld in his defence stated that he had I
known the ladies from childhood and felt no'
constraint in his intercourse with them and;
naturally took liberties he would not have,
ventured on with strangers. The actual act'
with which he was charged was putting his
arms about the waist of the ladies on one oc-1
csision each, at different times and places.
The evidence was that nothing wrong Lad j
been said and that when the familiarity was
resented it was promptly desisted from.
After hearing the testimony the representatives
of the churches met in close counsel and j
considered the matter deliberately. It was
concluded that the charges were sustained
and that Dr. May field had been guilty of "con-!
duct unbecoming a Christain gentleman,"
inasmuch as he had been indiscreet and had!
not borne himself with the care required by
his position, although there was nothing to
establish that he had evil in his heart. Sandy ,
Springs church, where Dr. Mayfleld has his"
membership, was advised to request him to
withdraw his membership.
Dr. Mayfleld and his friends claim that his'
connection with the Mutual Self Endowment!
company ??nd jts failure influenced feeling j
against him. The hiun personal ami inns,
tain character and ability of tlic gentlemen
composing the counsel, however, gives the!
verdict great weight and is a guarantee that
It was re.iclied after calm and prayerful con- j
fslderationandwithevcrypurpo.se to bo fair
and to do what is right.
The Committee Attempt to MnliD n
C?pra;tio:i oftln ,H?^vsSUt?m?at ji
and Make tlse Doctor's Action i
More ltanm^iii^.
An article having appeared in thp Driily '<
Keivx of 21d inst., in reference to "The Trial of !
Dr. Mayfleld," which must make erroneous
impressions on those who read it, the under-1
signed, members of the Council in the case,!
residing in Greenville and easily accessible to j;
each other, fee! obliged to make a statement
in regard to some of tlie points presented in j
the article alluded to.
Upon testimoney delivered in his prssenee'
and*uncontradicted by him in any material |
point, it transpired that I>r. \\T. IX Maytieid;
on two different occasions used familiarities!
of action and speech unbecoming a Christain
and especially a Christain minister, toward t
ladies of the highest respectability (sisters in!
law), one of whom he had known intimately j
in childhood; but of the other, according to i
his own statement, he scarcely more than i
knew the n une; and that these familiarities |
were persisted in, despite repeated protests,
in circumstances which prevented the ladies!
from at once relieving themselves of his presence.
"For themselves, and, so far as they know or
have any reason to believe, for the' other
members of the Council, the undersigned explicitly
and solemnly declare tiiat the lailure j
of the Mutual Self Endowment and Benevo- j
lent Association was in no instance or man
iier use I in securing an unfavorable conciu-j
slon In the matter of this investigation.
In order to give a clear understanding nf;
the velvvs of the Council, t!ie paper adopted i
and communicated to the church is hereby j
appended, as follows : ,
' The delegates summoned l>y Sandy Springs I'
church to counsel them in the matter of|
charges against Kcv. \V. J>. Mayfield, as hav- '
ing acted in a manner unbecoming to a minis- '
of the Gospel, in his conduct toward certain
ladies bog.leuve to report:
That, after the hearing of the testimony in
the ease, they feel constrained to ackuow- 1
ledge that the charges are sustained.
"Wnile they do not see the way to declare!,,
with positiveuess that I)r. May field's declara- j
tionjof the absence of criminal intent is lo be
entirely rejected, yet they are so strongly im- j
pressed with his singular disregard to thatj'
propriety of demeanor toward me other sex I
which is incumbent on C'hristain men and'
especially C'hristain ministers; and feel so
deeply the injury inflicted on the cause of
Christ and the honor of the ministry; that!
they are constained to believe it the duty ofjl
Ibe church to withdraw fellowship from him.

It Is proper that the Xeivx should explain its !
incorrect report ot the trial of I>r. Mayfield, j
printed yesterday morning. The information 1
lrnu / ! i i.) 11 I '
till MlllUll LlJUt icpvi t u.io vm.v..^ i
derived from John D. May field, son of l>r. \\ . j
D. Mayfield. It was very naturally supposed i
that the facts could be accurately obtained !
fro in him and he was applied to because it
was understood that the members of thej
Council would not be at liberty to give iulorluation
of their official proceedings.
We do not know whether Mr. Msiyfield was
misled by somebody else or deliberately do-:
ceived the New* and the public by making
statements he knew to be false.
The whole business is disagreeable, demor !
alizing and unfortunate and the sooner it is
forgotten the better; for the lurther itgocs the' i
worse it gets.
