The spacious pews would seat six grown persons and the contention arose because “men of 1it- tle or no estate would sit forward in the high pews and those of high estate and the pillars of the Church would be obliged with the very shame to take a lower seat.”” QGalleries and body seats were passed by while the coveted seats were crowded. The “Light-minded youths” kept the tith- ing man busy. This State of affairs greatly troubled the leading men, for men who never gave enough to the church to build a single pew were holding the best seats. This grievance was endured for several years and then a meeting was called to rectify William Bennet was chosen moderal or and it was voted to sell the pews LONDON (Plymouth) PARIS (Boulogne) and HAMBURG Assuring Arrival in Paris by Day PALATIAL STEAMERS *S.

Good Deacon Marsh was kept con- flned In Windham Jail until June, but on his release was ordained colleague pastor of Mansfield Separate church. So great were the numbers of ecclesi- astic offenders at ‘this -time that it was necessary to add another story to Windham Jail and many were Sent to Hartford. In the meantime Mr. Mosely strove to keep his flock together by refusing to allow thelr church to hold business meetings. He locked the doors against them, and the Revolutionists prepared a lengthy paper at this time against their pastor which reads in part: “'Sir, you taking the key of the Meet- ing House and holding it, we say is Contrary to God's. Word. And you have no right to do it and not con- tent with that you rob us of the Key of the whole Society. Sir, we are bold to say Christ never gave you them keys nor mo other man, on earth, for he knew full well, how full the world was of false prophets and teachers who would turn the Keys against his De- ciples. Pray, Sir, to what' purpose would it had bin for our Saviour to have sent out Apostles as he did to preach the Gospel to every Creature if| the Keys had been given ta the Min- 7 Sir, are you wiser than Do vou know how to manage s better than Christ? ¥le nev- | er gave them to you. - For God’s su.ka; give them up for he never gave them to you! No, assuredly, no, unless you make the addition of the world Anti ——for darkness and daylight are near- er alike than your power and the S it of Christ. And do you consider, Sir, your ingratitude to a people who main- tains and supports you that you should chastise us with scornpions and rule us; with a rod of iron and put chains and | bonds on us that we, nor our fathers were able to bear This paper was circulated privately throughout the church and its exist- ence greatly exasperated Mr. Mosely who attempted to deal with the offen- ers. Many hard things were said on | both sides and Mr. Foster, who was especially zealous in defending the church against the minsiterial usurp- ation net only affirmed openly thac Mr. Mosely *“lied” but said that he could “prove” it; but when reproved by him replied, “That he saw - the Pope's horns beginning to bud some years ago but now they were grown.” This William Foster was an ancestor of Mrs. Herman Allen of Hampton. The cellar of the old Foster Home- stead still remains. The Homestead was situated on the West side of Hampton street, nearly opposite Wal- lace Jewett's home of to-day, perhaps an-eighth of a mile south of the store | on Hampton Hill. Mr. Foster was a great and good man; a firm defender of religious liberty. This war between pastor and people was 'waged for a long time, until the offenders were brought beforé the Church for ‘trial. Mr. Mosely, him- self acted as moderator; about 40/ members of the Church were present. Seven voted in favor of censure; 7T voted against it. The pastor asked if they should censure and adding his vote pronounced the motion caried, refusing to call the negativé; thus eight votes including those of his himself, his brother and his nephew deeided the case. Phe rage of the people was great, and neothing but the strong Christian character of Mr, Mosely saved him | from the sterm which followed, but in spite of his faults he was dearly beloved by the majority of his people | and the influence he had over them | was like that of a king.

THE CASE OF PERKINS When Kitty Miller looked at Per- kins seriously from under her lashes and curved her lips and repeated for the third time, “Why, of course, you | must learn the new dances, Mr. P kins!” he stared at her meditatively for a moment murmured “Must 1?” and in the next breath inguired how and where and when he must learn them. “I know the sweetest girl!” Kitty replied. ‘‘Her father died and she helps support her mother and they live on the next s et to this and she gives dancing lessons. I'll phone now and make an appointment for you—" “To-morrow,” insisted Perkins, | with his head whirling. we { whether birthday, wedding, and now with the greatest gift giving occasion of the whole year right at hand we offer you these sug- gestions. - UMBRELLAS .

Thereupon Perkins did heroic work with two or three giggling girls who openly pitied him for his ignorance and good naturedly showed him some steps he had been taught earlier in the even- ing, just ag those were different from the steps 'shown him by Kitty’'s friend. Perkins reached home that night He could not get to sleep. Once he turned on the light and arose to practice one step that he seemed to remember clearly. It was the next day that he rushed minute { counted, now that he had discovered how difficult was the task before him. Kitty around she gasped and jerked him into a corner. “What on earth are you trying to do?” she Inquired. into Bangs’ stage dancing academy, where the management not only re- moved $20 from him for a complete | term, but attacked the way he held his hands, his body and even his expres- | sion, as well as-his feet. A teachér on each side of him ordered, criticised and preached. Perkins had two lessons that day and “I'm starting in to do my twenty< three tango steps!” Perkins told her, grandly. “I've taken sixteen lessons and been to three dances since I saw you five days ago!"” three the next. He had learned twenty- three tango steps, ten variations of the Kitty shrieked. “How awful!” she cried. “Nobody does more than four or castle walk and the one-step. He also | five steps, really!

Can’t you join?” : “Delighted,” Perkins assured her. “I suppose the more practice I get the better it will be for me!” He presented himself at 3 o'clock the following afternoon at the home of Kitty's protegee. There was a faint fragrance of a meal cooking and all the furniture had to be moved out of the dining room before the lesson could begin. His teacher’'s mother darned stockings and chaperoned the affair, and when Per- kins emerged he did not know whether he had had a dancing lesson or a New England boiled dinner. Somehow he was dissatisfied. Real dancing he felt, could be obtained only where it was made a serious busines Then he recollected the sign of a dancing academy downtown and re- solved to hunt it up after dinner. Dur- ing dinner he had a telephone invita- tion to join a dancing class meeting every other Tuesday night. “Just for practice, you know,” said the person extending the invitation. “I can’t practice till I know the steps,” Perkins told himself, feverish- ly, as he bolted his dessert. “I'll have to hustle for the downtown place!” He found the dancing academy and about a thousand other persons eager for instructions. In the mob Perkins shufiled and sidestepped and perspired and was stepped on. “Whatcha learning?” a young man asked him, interestedly, as Perkins piv- oted and nearly knocked him down. “Tango or castle walk?” “How do I know?” dJdemanded Per- kins. “I'm following the teacher!” “Haw, haw!” laughed the young man, disrespectfully. ‘Do you call -that acrobatic work following? Gee!” But Perkins was too Interested to even hear him, He was watching the prefessor, who apparently was made of hair springs, rubber and whalebone. He would meéve lightly through the air and when Perkins tried to imitate him the reom immediately got full of peo- ple, whem he kanpcked down, Totally exhausted at the close of the lesson and conscious of having won tho undying hatred of every one he had stepped on, Perkins took a cu for home.
