a i tie was looked upon as heretical and
h. a: hellish.
V r Kdwurd lUley w as the pastor ol
this Baptist church, lie Was regarded '
with considerable interest by the giils
of the Seminary inasmuch as it was
knovn that he was enga.-j 1 to marry
Mies Wilmer. Kyery new girl thai

latterly it had b ion confidentially re

that the M SMiS WhitO, day schul.tin.

There came n summer'*Sunday when
Mr. Cilley'a place in the pulpit was
supplied by a Minuter. Our pastor, it
was said, had gone i" the While Moun

might be absent two or three weeks ?
