Said he, referring to the story in the Bible of the lepers who were healed by Jesus, but dill not return I have return ed.” It was about at this puiiit^ that dudge Smith stepped hack from the pulpit and collapsed. With the exception of several nearby persons who rushed to the aid of the stricken minister, the congregation Mas unusually crowd and those who had conu^ was with the large homecoming calm, packed as the auditorium as friends and well-wishers of the popular pastor. Seated in the audience were the judge’s wife his son and his mother-in-law. When a j)hysieian was final ly secured it was advised that he be taken immediately to the hospital.
