Shopard S. Freeman, pastor of the

pelled Saturday to liavo Judgo Boll Is
sue an ordor notifying tho clorgyman
to nttend sololy to his religious dutlos
until tho court straightens out tho
quarrel.
Tho trustees, In tholr application for
n restraining order, allcgo that Pastor
Freoman Is engaged simply to prench
tho gospel and look out for tho relig
ious duties of tho flock, but Instead of
doing this ho started n nowspnper in
"tho bnsoment of tho church without
tho consent of tho trustees nnd Is soil
ing It from tho pulpit on Sunday,
Judgo Bell bus ordered him to ro
fraln from selling tho Seattlo Search
light from tho pulpit until ho decides
on the propriety of such conduct. It
Is further nlleged thnt a subscription
was stnrted with which to build a now

tor has been collecting tho monoy and
appropriating It to his own use. It
Is also asserted that in Soptombor ho
npproprlatcd 1100 of tho church funds
to his own uso. Tho order restrains
tho colored man from further interfer
ing In tho financial affairs of tho
church.
REGRET.
I found a flower of rarest hue,
Fragile and wondrously sweet,
Tlmld, alone and graceful, It grew,
A dainty bud, at my feet.
I watched to see its petals ylold
To tho warm, bright rays of the sun,
As tenderly bathed In U10 mellow
flood,
They opened, ono by ono.
I plucked tho rare and lovely thing,
And lo, a change was wrought,
A sickly odor tho flower gave forth
That with fragrance late was
fraught.
The petals folded themselves once
more
Back in a closo embrace,
And the little flower In grief and
shame,
Forever had hidden Us face.
Alice Sweeney-Johnson.
