And Still They Do Not See It.

Omaha, Sept, 25 --[To the Editor of the
WORLD-HERALD] - The Central West, a paper
published, the interest of the Presbyterian
denomlnation, quotes form an article published
in this paper last Sunday concerning
Dr. Duryea church the following: "Time
was when the First Congregational church
was quieter than it it is now. And there are a few
foolish old members who remeber with honest
regret when a few of them used to sit together
under the preaching of a quiet and unpretontious
man with where every thought
the congreation was perfectly familar, and
worship together."

This is the comment that is made upon these
remarks:

Such an allusion to the former pastor of
this church is very ingenerous to say the
least. We doubt if these was over been in the
pastorate of any church in this city a more
spiritually minded, conscientious and faithful
pastor than Dr. A. F. Sluerrill. He remembered
with affection and gratitude by
[?] of the members of his old clurge, both
young and old, and also by a grent many in
other churches in the city He did a grand
work during his long pastorte-a work which
made the First Congregational church. It
seems, however, to be the fasion to treat ex-pastors
after the style of housekeeps in
dealing wil old furniture, If they were to
die the language would be ransacked for adjectives
with which to express popular admiration
of their work. But while they live they are
sometimes made the recipients of cruel
slights and cuts front house from whom they
have a right to expect better treatment."

I have the pleasure to inform the public
that I wrote the introduction to the letter concerning
the First Congregational church, and
that in writing it I performed any share of the
work. I cannot possibly furnish ideas as well
as the brains necessary for the understanding
of them, nor can I supply to Omaha the experience
in letters which enables one to discriminate
between saire and the statement of
an opinion or sentiment

I grieveth it has not been possible to express
myself exclysively is one-syllabled
words Sincerely, Elia W. Peattie.
