PREsBYrERIASCHrRcHM MEETING.-A meet
ing Of the members and pcw-holders Of the
Presbyterian Church of this city was held
yesterday to decide upon question that had
been previously raised, as to whether the
Church property on Third street should be
sold and the ST. Luke's Church property
purchased by the Society. There was a
strong opposition to the measure, which
came principally from those who have been
interested in this church from its infancy.
As the majority was to decide, great effort
was made on the part of those favoring the
change to carry the day. The question
came to vote, and the result was G6 in ia
vor, and 35 against the change. The build
ing on Sd street is to be sold to the Weber
Brothers, for a carriage mandatory, the
church reserving the right only to remove
the seats, bell, gas fixtures ETC., whichare to
be used as far as may be for making neces-
sary repairs and additions to the St. Luke's
Church building, The change, al things
material considered, is about an even one.
There is, however, one very unpleasant
feature regarding this matter. The older
members of the church claim that while
they were outvoted the voting was unfair
inasmuch As the votes Of many who had but
just become pew holders, and had not stood
the burden of erecting and sustaining the
church, counted just as much a. their own.
But be that as it may, we hope the feeling
of disscnsion that now operates on The
minds Of some If the worthy old members
win not lead to an open division in this pop
ular and highly prosperous church. Since
this church has bean under the ministFia
charge Of tie Rev. Mr.. Anderson, il ha,
| gained greatly in public opinion and pros
,perity. Its seats have al been filed, ani
many who wished to become pew holder.
/, were disappointed. To the earnest piety
and gre't ability Of the reverend pastor
this spcceas;s in : great measure due.
