A CUURC0 DISAGLsEkeSS scNT
Trouble In the United Presbyterian Scti-
ETY.. tf ffH

ETY.. ffo
The Rev. S. 3. Stewart has been
pastor of the United Presbyterian
Church in Twenty-ffth street two
years. Yesterday the relations be-
tween him and his congregation,
which had grown somewhat disagree
able, were formally severed. The
Church is made up to a great extent
of Scotchmen, who arc oOld School
Presbyterians. MIR. Stewart is q
young man and q little inclined tow
ard liberalism. Therefore his preach
ing has not been acceptable to some
of his hearers. The dissatisfied
members say that Mr.. Stewart has
grown more and more heterdox, and
that some of his most pointed figures
have been intended for personal ap-
plication BY those who differed with
him in religious belief. Recently he
preached a sermon from the words,
"Iake heed how ye hear" in which
he compared some people to religious
parrots and others to dogs, He de-
MES that he intended to call any Of
his hearers names, but they think diff
ferently. Dissension arose, and in
the midst Of it Stewart received y call
from church in Stoubenvillo, which
he decided to accept. Alta meeting
of his church last week his decision
was announced. 44i barHlu .f.lr-
The disatfected brethren say that
his departure was on too short notice,
and as parting retaliation the prop
osition was made that the pastor be
excluded from the pulpit on the fol
lowing Sunday when he waste preach
his farewell sermon. The motion
was not put to a vote, but out of it
grew the rumor that there would bo
trouble OF some kind should he at
tempt to preach. Consequently the
house Of worship was crowded last
Sunday morning, although the real
membership is only about two hun
dred, and the usual attendance not
large, Trouble was expected. Mr..
rSbeIlrt took his place in the pulpit,
and did not wait foI' the fight to be
comhlshcea by his enemies.
