SECTIONALISM IN THE
CHURCHES.

Since our brief allusiOn to the
ill>timed remarks of DR.. Wiley be-
fore the Holston Conference of the
VI. E. Church, South, a few days
ago, we have had many very graft
flying testimonials of approval of
the sentiments therein expressed.
While everybody comedies DR..
Wiley's high character, and no one
presumes to impeach his integrity
as a man or as a Christian minister,
there are many Of his best friends
who do not agree with him in his
ultra views, and who believe that
he presses them upon the public
upon occasions too slight and with
too much frequency. His statements
of fact were made at random and
under the light of truth would fail
to bear him out in his extreme pcs
sition.
The very general approval with
which our editorial has met encourN
ages US to say something more, of
a general nature, on the subject
therein suggested. 1t is to be de-
plored that there are Christian min
listers in nearly all the churches
men of rank and infuence-who
persist in drawing and keeping up
sectional lines. We do not profess
TO be profoundly versed in theology,
but we read the Scriptures, and We
fail utterly to find anything in them
upon which such a position can be
based. The Ten Commandments,
the Lords Prayer, the Sermon
Upon the Mount and the Cos
pels all appear to be addressed to
and made for all men, regard
less of geographical lines.
The Methodists, Baptis.s, Pres
byterians and Episcopallans,
south of the Ohio river, read AID
profess to believe the teachings Of
the same bible, that the people north
of that line believe, and why the
distinctions North and South should
be applied to those of the same faith
and order, is more than we can un-
derstand. And when a Christian
minister refuses to fraternize with
church on one or the other side of
Masons and Dixon's line, because
there are some bad men on that side
of the line, we have looked in vain
for a scriptural endorsement of such
refusal. The point is, we have
common bible, worship the same
G G3I, and profess to believe in the
same blessed state of future exist
ence, and yet We find nothing in
that bible about a Mason and Dix
on's line, and hear nothing of pass
port to glory being given to any
one because he is a Northern man
or a Southern man, We would be |
obliged to some one of these sec
ional ministers, who think they have
Scriptural grounds upon which to
base their conduct and belief, to point |
out the foundation of their belief.
Until something of this kind can
be produced, we will continue to de-
plore this sectional spirit manifested |
in the Christian churches. Its |
effect upon the country has been |
evil and only evil. The division of |
the churches upon such questions
did much to encourage a division of
the country attempted few years
ago. A mans religious belief is
harder to shake than his belief on
political or scientific questions, and
thousands of men espoused the
cause of secession because they re- !

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S WILL.
Legal Struggle Over the Late PrOph.
cts ESfafa

New YORK, April PA dispatch from Salt
Lake says: AlfaleS aud Ernest and j. Young,
two of the heirs of the late Brigham Young.
sued out a temporary injunction yesterday in
the third district court, enjOining the eXecu-
tors of BrighamS will from transferring a
large proportion of the late prophets estate
back to the church. The complainantS say
the estate is worth only 81, ,OO0,O ,O00 and asserts
that John Taylor, the new prophet, has made
claim for 1890, which he alleges is due
and owing to him, as the legal representative
OF the Mormon church: that the executors are
about to secretly transfer large real estate in
tereStS to Taylor contrary to law, and there
fore an Injunction was prayed for and OBJ
tanned. This proceeding is regarded as the
first movement in bitter impending Strug-
gle over the ill-gOtten gains of the departed
Brigham. The executors are cited to appear
next Monday and show cause why the intunc-
tiOn should not be made perpetuaI. Rich de-
yelopments may then be expected. Taylor,
the new head OF the church, is not made
party to the suit and it is construed by some
that the move is trick on the part of the ex-
ecutors and heirs to prevent the church from
obtaining the restitution of the property
which the late prophet flched from it.

First Abducting and Then Attempt.
ing to Drown a Girl.

AT No. 50 Oak street, in Saratoga, with her
rather, Patrick MOnahan, respectable man,
lives Mary, very pretty, and seventeen years
OF age, modest and OF irreproachable reputa-
ton. she had been spending the afternoon
with Mrs. L. j. kibbard, and she started for
home at little before in the evening AT
Elm street, which she was about to cross, an
approaching horse and wagon caused her to
halt. A gaSlight on the corner enabled her TO
notice that the man in the light buggy had a
m0uStache and wore an ulster with the
collar turned up, and a Slouch hat. In
stead OF driving past, the man stopped
his horse, hoped from the wagon, and
shoulders, thrust her into the forward part of
the wagon, hoped in himself, and drove off
rapidly, holding her by kneeling upon her.
She struggled as best she could and tried TO
make an Outcry, but her screams were smoth-
cred by the rope about her head and she was
unable to eXtricate herself. When she was
rendered faint and almost helpless by fright
and suffocatiOn, the man bound handkerchief
over her mouth and tied her lips together in
such way that she could make no resistance
and could scarcely move. He drove TO Geyser-
the village. AT point near the Triton spring
ne stopped his horse, and clasping the girl i'm
his arms carried her TO grove near the border
OF the small lake. In the struggle that fol
lowed she tore the gag from her mouth, Her
screams attracted the attention of men who
answered by shouts. The man at once dragged
the girl TO the lake, threw her violently into
the water, and then drove rapidly away
Weeping willow trees fringe the bank, and
ing these, she dragged herself ashore She
