A Colored Baptist Church War.
All the ecclesiastical fighting OF these days is not
confined to white ministers and churches. Colored
folk sometimes take hand In. A snort time ago
we had Rev. ]. Morris Williams quarrelling with
bis Bridge street church, Brooklyn, and now We
have Rev. simon BurdicK and his Baptist flock on
Grow Hill, Brooklyn, at loggerhea1s. Mr.. Burdick
has been twenty years pastor OF the church, and
several years ago the society bought some lots in
and around The present site OF their meeting
house. Property was then of little value In this
neighborhOod, but 1t has increased In value
greatly since, and Mr.. Burdick, as the stories go,
used his endeavors to got rid Of the 0f1cials and
intelligent members Of the church, and having
succeeded he became everything to the few who
remained and, taking advantage OF their credulity
or indifference, took possession OF the church
properly IN MS own name an ana vent SO lar as 20
the proceeds in bank to his own credit. But the O
ciala and others who had gone out suspected some
church; put to be OF any service they must be In
side and not outside OF the society. They there
iolies, asked to be restored again TO membership.
The generous Burdick granted their prayer, and
on certain evening called meeting for the elec-
tlon OF trustees; but no one attended The night
following, however, when Mt. Burdlck was absent.
the church iolk gathered and elected seven trus-
quently notified OF this action, and the result
q regular row, IN which Mr.. Burdick was SUM-
mand on him for the records OF the church. These
however, he refused to give up, and Is now at his
home quite III. His successor. Rev. Armistead
Mirabile has been installed, and is preaching
every Sunday to the Crow Hill Berean BaptIsts. A
suit ct law is threatened on both sides. Burdick
years. salary, which. he says, is due to him, and
the trustees maintain that 1t Is theirs
