Wicked Debts

By Editor

A WELL-KNOWN Methodist minister, Rev. Frost Craft, created a sensation recently in Trinity Church, Lafayette, Ind., by preaching on "Wicked Debts." Among other things he said that a milliner at Lafayette had said to him that the reason she did not belong to Trinity Church was that so many of the ladies of the congregation owed her for their bonnets and would not pay her. He said furthermore, that a dressmaker of that city had informed him that a number of ladies belonging to the church were wearing dresses not paid for; that the grocerymen complained of church people owing them, and that nearly every business in Lafayette was full of "wicked debts," contracted by people who were leading church members.

We think that when such a state of affairs exist somebody ought to create a sensation.
