GILFILLAN, q. j.
J At the time of Judge Dickinson's de-
| cision, +he Worthington Journal said:
A telegram was received from Nam
kato, announcing that Judge Dickinson
had rendered decision in the famous
Methodist church suit, in favor of the
Trustees. In view of all the SANDER
Gus abuse and unmttigated lying Of
the Worthington ADVANCE, 1T the i'll
| stigation Of Il. +. lIumiston and DR..
Miller, the friends of the church have
special reasons for rejoicing. Right
will always win, and all the approbrium
which has been lcapelupcn the church
! will recoil upon the heads Of those who
sent it forth.
This attack on the ADVANCE was
| for merely giving the facts in the case.
! But right will always win in the end,
and all the opprobrium which has been
heaped upon the ADVANCE will recoil
upon the heads of those who sent it
forth.
