Trouble i'm the Church.

Last Sunday evening there was some ex-
element, after the services, in the Seventh
street Congregational Church. 1t all arose
from the fact that a letter of resignation
had been handed in by Mr.. Joshua Abbott,
followed by an appeal for letter of fellow
ship to the Storrs Congregation.
Mr.. Abbott lives at No. Ga Mound street,
and has an extensive business at No. 172
Elm street. When the pastor, before clos
ing service, formally requested that the
congregation should remain seated after
the doxology, as matter of moment was
TO be considered, the curiosity of the men,
bers was raised to the highest point
The letter of resignation was read, and
then Mr.. w. J. Breed, of Crane, Breed &
Co., rose to oppose the granting of the same.
Ho was opposed not only to the granting OF
the letter of recommendation, but was in
favor of Mr.. Abbolts expulsion from the
Seventh Church. He intimated immoral
conduct on the part of the latter, and
broadly and openly charged him with the
neglect and abuse of worthy wife.
But the climax had not been reached yet,
for as Mr.. Breed sat down Mrs. Abbott who
was present, rose and excitedly declared
that Mr.. Breeds charges were unfounded.
She knew, she said, that Mr.. Abbott was
but mortal and liable to err as mortals err
but he had yet to lay finger upon her.
Other members also spoke on the sub
ject, when it was announced that the Com
mittee had acquitted Mr.. Abbott of the
charges
Finally amid great excitement, the let.
ter of fellowship was granted and the mem
bers dispersed

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-At the Baptist
Ministers Conference politics was dis
cussed, and yesterday was very exciting
The Roman Catholics were attacked and
defended. One of the members said the
Roman Catholic Church was the Beast
of Revelation.
DR.. Potter was sorry to hear the brethren
applaud whenever it was said in Conference
that the Roman Catholic Church was
the Beast" If so, then that
Church ought to be prayed for,
and not triumphed over. From the spirit
displayed by some of the brethren he inr
ferred that it would be bad day for the
Baptist Church if it ever gained any great
power.
DIR. Fulton said that New York was the
greatest Roman Catholic city in the world;
that money and power was on its side, but
that here in the Baptist Conference the Ro-
man Catholic religion could be
said to be as good as any
other; that no Protestant missions are
needed in Europe, because that Church
does the proper work, and that, as between
Catholics and Protestants, bygones should
be bygones.
The Herald this morning says: The con-
ference is becoming decidedly entertaining
From the Scarlet Woman and the
Beast" the reverend gentlemen got to pol
itics, when the liveliest kind of row fol-
lowed. If this sort of thing continues they
ought to hire the largest hall in town.
