C Tin* reader may now take interest in some other things lam going to write about. Tiie first is about my c Mijrreifation rotainin • mff as a pas o o o 1 tor after Synods rejection of me. I had been iu declining health some j t isie before I went to Hickory. Con | trary to my expectations, my health i grew still worse while I was in Hickory, until in May last, it became necessary for me to give up ministe rial labors. My congregations, of their own accord, rather than allow m • to resign, gave me a vacation of four months. In that time Iso im proved that my physician said that I could carry on the work in mv churches. So a week after the ad journment of the Tenuesse Synod mv vacation being out, I returned to 'Hickory to seo what my people | would want. I found almost all of I them quite indignart because the I synod did not receive inc. They j unhesitatingly and eagerly desired mv continuance an their pastor. I j decided to remain with them and | await future development*. They cheerfully gave me two more months freedom from pulpit work to allow ' me the better chance to become stiil stronger in body. In that tune I found I could not bear regular min isterial labor without rfsk of perma nent injury to my health. It swem ed espental that I should forbear trving to do full ministerial work. Accordingly I resigned on the 22nd of October, to take the efTocl the Ist of November. The church councils accepted my resignation, at the same time passing the following resolu- tions : lt,\iolrof, Ut. That we, the un dersigned, officers of Holy Irinity and Zion Evangelical Lutheran churches, in accepting the resigna tion of our pastor, 11** B. S Brow n, do so with sincere sorrow and re gret. 2nd. That we extend him our sxiupathy in his physical disability, and pray that h* tuny be so restored as to again labor in the work of the ministry. 3rd That having had him as our preacher and pastor in active ser vice six months, we b«ur witness to his li lelity, and to his consistency in Lutheranism both in doctrine atul practice.

Honrv George, in this week s issue of the devotes nearly four columns to the hanging ofctho anarchists. Here are some extracts from his article: Four io»n were hanged in Chicago on I'ridav last, there would ha r e been rive but that one escaj>ed tl o gallows by almost deteriuined suicide. Ihey were hanged upon judicial conviction of the highest crime known to the law— a crime which re ! suited in the killing of seven p>eopde and tiie wounding of some scores of others. \et, on the eve of their ex ecution. a long pro ession, with muf tleil drums and banner with crap.e, marched through the streets of No.v \ork ; on the Sunday after their execution their dead bodies were carried to the grave in Chicago , with demonstrations of respiect and sympiathv such iu arc rarely accorded to unquestioned public benefactors, and in all p. rts of the country there are indications that a considerable 1 class regard them not a«> ciiminals, bat as heroes and martvra. In this there is matter for much serious thought. And if n true that there are among workingmen many win) are disposed to condone acts of violence when committed bv those who assume to be the champions of oppressed labor, is it not truo that there it the same blind class feeling among tl e well to do ? When Pink- j e; ton detect l vos shoot 'TT' r'rtjijl' j j when serviceable police "'j club Socialists, is there any outcry from those who deem themselves ; { conservatives ? I lie bursting of a dynaniito bomb J in a Chicago street: the hanging of men in the Fnited States for a crime for which, had it been committed in . , Russia, would not have extradited I them : the fact that the idea of law and the idea of justice aro already in the minds of thousands HO far divorced that those whom pain- j isnmeut known to our code aro bv * I considerable bodies of our peoplo thought of as martyrs, are ominous \ things. There is no danger, perhaps that organized Anarchism will ever prove formidable in the Fnited States, but fliere is danger that tho minds of men becoming familiarized with ideas of violence, violence will here and there break out. T here is dan ger that the frenzy born of injustice ''.'-i the one side and the frenzy'born of fear on the other may. l>\ n «oriea of actions and reactions, *» remits the most disastrous. vlt , The An arch LU are not otn most dangerous class. Back of the men who died on Friday in Chicago, with a fortitude worthy of a better cause; back of the men who sympathize with them and their deed, is a deep and whispered sense of injustice. T hose who are most responsible for the ex j-teiice of this aro those who. having time and opportunity and piower to enlighten the public mind, shut their eyes to injustice, and use their tal ents and opportunities to prevent the arousing of thought and conscience, and decry any p-eaceful remedy that maybe pu-opiosed.
