As an illnatration of tho trivial causes which sometimes bring about a aeveranco of the pastoral relation, the Presbyterian Banner tells of a paster who had to resign hia obargo becanao the Sunday School superintendent objected to his uaing a plum colored silk handkerchief in tho pulpit, and the Herald and Presbyter men- tions another good man to whom objection waa made because of hia wearfaag an un- becoming mouatacbe and the practice of rolling up hia trousera in wet weather.
