not been without our Church war, the
chronicles Of Aoa Streat Church, during period
Of about year, supplying our local history with
one full volume OF ecclesiastical conflict. This
long, bitter, and t4rcsome cousast batweon op.

the part Of tho newspapers. Recent events,
however, hays developed tho fact that
. true apiris Of war and = living cle-
ment OF discorl have continued to exist
within tue church during the long stillueas that
succeeded tue last memorable battlo Of opposing
tongues md though the main facts IN the pub
hshed history Of this great Methodist war may
still be familiar to the community. 1t u nsces-
