”lieu Sentinel: In order that the
hath maybe known, nuflowered and
plain. concerning the'abrupt termina-
jflon of the marriage engagement of Miss
Macbeth Smith and myself. and not
my to have my name and charac-
ter misrepresented tothe public, I am
compelled to give the facts as they
really exist, and am ready to prove what
C I loudly handwriting and personal wit-
nouns. I heartily endorse the fact of
Mill Smith’s devoted Christian charac-
ter,_withoat which I should not} have on-
tcrtoined her company.
' [On Saturday, December 19, I received
a telegraph message from Charles F.
, Smith, Norwalk, stating ”that the mar-
with you, and I wont marry you.”
' request of her folks, I have remained in
rings which was to take plane on Christ-
_‘ maseve would not, for Elizabeth does
not love you enough to spend the rest of
her days with you." I came at once to
‘ ascertain the cause, reaching Charles F.
Smith's Saturday evening.
When I
asked Miss Smith her reason. she said,
"The Lord told me I would be unhappy
By
Norwalk over Christmas.
Having read the letter of Rev.F.E Rob-
bins, pastor of the First Baptist church,
Norwalk, I found it much different than
the personal interview which he had
with me and others. He told me he did
not see anything to hinder us from liv-
ing happily together; he believed we
possessed the qualities that would make
a happy home. He told me to get the
license, come to the parsonage, and he
would marry us; not to go among the
folks, but to go right to Staten Island.
In speaking to others, he said he wished
his daughters Would get as a nice young
man as I was.
Concerning Miss Smith, whom he has
persuaded to stay with him as long as
' she wishes, instead of advising her to
live with her folks, who love her and
would give her the best of care. he re-
ported that on Wednesday fast she was
historical and under a. doctor’s care for
hours. By recent letters I can prove
_ that Miss Smith’s love for me was stron-
ger than ever in the face of a positive
knowledge of my Christian standpoint.
A non~0hristian influence has been
brought to bear in opposition to the mar-
riage, which worried her mind almost to
self-destruction, which are facts that
can be produced by her hand-writing,
proving Rev. F. E. Robbins‘ stato-
ment as to the reason ot‘ her not marry-
ing me to be incorrect in regard to unbe—
lief and non-acceptance of Christ, for in
her natural state she could not say it.
Mr. Editor, it seems that the pastor
should have known that his reference to
the apostle Paul's stern warning to
Christians, “Be not unequally yoked
with unbelievers," does not apply in my
case from the knowledge he has of mo,
' , and the unhesitating high esteem with
which he spoke to others in regard to
me. ”A reason why many deceive
themselves is because they do not
consider how for a man may go and yet
be in a natural, or, at best, a legal state.
He may be meek. patient, do much good,
uttend public worship, road devotional
books. Nay. he may have deep convic-
tions of sin, desire to fulfill all righteous-
ness, have frequent rejoicing. But these
do not prove a man under grace unless
the spirit of adoption abide in his heart."
Though a man possess these qualities
and does not profess to be a Christian,
does it prove him an unbeliever? I
positively deny having made any appeal
whatever to Miss Smith to change her
decision; on the other hand, 1 gave her
credit for acting according to her con-
victions. I had told her some weeks
ago, if she desired to change her mind
there was yet time. She said she had
given it plenty of thought before decid-
ingto accept my propoaition of marriage.
Mr. Editor, it is foreign to my wishes
to give an account of my courtship's dis-
appointment and to how- to place a
pusWrinsonndesirablou position as I
have had to place Rev. F. E. Robbins.
I appeal to the Christian people of this
town whoread this letter to not only
offer their prayers to God in behalf of
the fluucer and fiance, but also remem—
ber the pastor who has made so great a
mistake in publicly and otherwise
interfering in so important a matter,
for I believe the sincere, fervent prayer
of the righteous availvth much.
The best of wishes to all interested
when, especially to Miss Elizabeth
Smith.

OVER RIVER SCHOOL NOTES.
Some PracticalMelhods of Instruction—4
Library of 300 Volumes.
A practical means of instruction at
the Over River school is geographical
work in putty, comprising the forming
of maps. It has proved very yaluablo,
as it enables the pupils to obtain a more
accurate idoa of this study.
The school is supplied with a library,
consisting of three hundred volumes by
famous authors. There are books of
reference in ouch room, and in No. 7 is
locate-d the general library.
Another practical form of tuition is
manual training, which is taught all
through the school. In rooms Nos. 1, '2,
3 and -l designing with tablets and col-
ored paper is done, and drawing is
taught in every room of the school.
Etmll year, in the month of Docum-
bor, the school issues a four-page paper,
called “The Over River Leaf.” The
journal contains compositions by the
pupils. those published being the best
that have been written during the your.
The writers of these compositions are
appointed editors of the paper.
Another feature of school work is
charts comprising «'loscriptive readings
and pictures reproduced from famous
paintings.
