About the rooms everywhere were articles of hers ar those reminding one of her, the banjo with the boken string expressing innlely its story of the one who had gone.

It is donutinl if nt any funeral in town there were so many beautiful and ex: pressive floral remembrances, testifying in a marked degree to the feelings of the donors to their yonug friend. Silently they spoke of the departed one, whose life had been so full of sunshine, and music, aud flowers.

They Will Not Do It.

It will be remembered that lev. W. W. Shenk, former pastor of the Methid- dist church here, was one of the nine students who left B. U. School of The- ology on account of ulleget heretical teachings of Prof. Mitchell

When these students withdrew, oue uf their number, W. E Verity, entered the Drew Theological seminary al Madison, N. J., thinking that he and his copart- ners were free to go where they planned, as they withdrew of their own accord. Aller a few days the Drew Theological School faculty received a statement from the Boston University faculty, saying that none of the men who hatl withdrawn from the Boston school would receive an honorable dismissal, nor would they be credited with the work they had al- ready accomplished on the course.

Upon receiving this the faculty imme- diately terminated Mr Verity's connec- tion with the school, and passed a vote that no more students from Boston f'ui- veraily could enter Drew seminary with- ont a proper paper honorably dismissing / them from Boston University.

It will be impossible for them to enter any theological school in the I'nited States withont first withdrawing Their names fruin a series of specific charges drawn up and sent to the faculty of B. U. un the day of their withdrawal. This they will not do
