"Is there any other charge against Sister Jerueby?"' The voice of the interlocutor ceased, and for several ominous seconds the rude walls of the little log church echo ed not a single sound The restless wayfarer, pausing at the door for a passing impression, might feel that here at last Peace had folded her wings here where the Sabbath quiet rested upon the simple country folk as the Indian-summer sunshine rested on the stretch of level cotton fields outside. But peace and unrest, joy and regretting are born of the hu man heart; and "far from the madding crowd" the little tragedy called Life is often played out to its bitterest. "Brother Moderator, I've got a seri ous charge to make," It was a nasal, woman's voice that broke the silence. The slow, deliberate gaze of her uncouth listeners turned on Sister Eliza Wat kins as she rose from ner seat, removed her broad brimmed straw hat, and took her long snuff-brush out of her mouth to gesticulate with. During the harangue which followed, the attention of the congregation shifted to and fro between the accuser and the accused.

"I've got serious charges to make," said Sister Watkins. "It ain't for me to say with Brother Lathrop that Je rushy bows down to them little tin saints and worships 'em; though I can say, and I do say that she keeps 'em uncommon clear of dust. And I ain't splittin' no hairs with Meiviny Wil liams and Sally Toole about her callin' the Virgin Mary the "Blessed Virgin" and fasin' on Fridays. What I've got to say is serious." AH ears and eyee were now with the speaker, all except Jeruahy's; her sunbonnet never moved an apparent hair's-breadth. "I'll call Mis' Sly over there to wit ness'' Mrs. Sly nodded vigorously, even before she heard what she was being called upon to corroborate "that just as soon as I heard Jerushy was The COURIER And any One Dollar Woman's Club Magazine 150 - H -jlr vkkkkkkkkkkkkkkH kkkkkkkkkkkkm jpiH im fSkkkkkkkkH kkkkkkrr -"i3?kB!W!WIWBkkkkkkkkk Mlff HfiBkLiLLLLLw HEivBN iKivi:oivr.
