Ever since the formation Of q cOngrega-
ton for the church Of God, which was
built at Seventh and Walnut streets, u
couple of years ago, by Rev. J. w. Desh-
ong, serious divisions and dissensiuns have
been conspicuous in it, and this with u
membership never large, It can easily be
seen could not tend towards its betterlnent
financially or otherwise Unfortunately
the beginning witnessed the formation Of
factions which rs factions never could pull
together, and OH no question has there ever
been an united whole. The result can
easily be reached even by one who knows
nothing whatever of the workings OF tie
concern, as the factions, just like political
factions, wOuld each have their code and
would each stick to it.. While Il party re-
mainel dominant it was expected that it
should furnish everything the church re-
would be apathetic. The turning of the
tables would of course reverse the thing
without doing any good. Nothing is more
natural then than that there should have
been split and a secession, and it is equal
ly sure that the minority should have been
the party to seccde. So it was. The diff
ferences which were forever taking place
finally eliminated in "kick," and this
"kick almost evenly divides the congre-
CATION. Following in the footsteps of
their Lutheran brethren, number of the
kickers," who have leaning toward the
Baptist persuasion, put their heads to-
gether and decided to hear what minist1r r
of that denomination could say to them.
To that end they secured the use, for one
night, of the E. E. Lutheran church build
ing and invited several diviues to
address them. The meeting Of
the Baptist brethren was held last
evening, and the gathering listened to
the preaching of Rev. ]. T. Judd, Of Har-
risburg, assisted by Rev. VIM. Morrison,
OF Lancaster, ana Rev. DR.. Crane, Of York,
after which they formed themselves into
Baptist church. Charles I. EmOns was
elected secretary pro tenn. The congrega.
ton adjourned to meet at the residence of
John Hall, OH South Fifth street, at 10ii
o'clock on Sunday morning, when services
will be conducted by Rev. VIM. Morrison,
of Lancaster. The ladies of the move
mcnt will try to devise means to erect a
church building in the near future.
Tho Diagnothian Hall.
The members of the Diagnothian liter
ary society of Franklin and Marshall col>
leSe have begun a series of improvements
in their fine hall on the college campus,
Just north of the main college building.
These changes comprehend repairs to the
roof, entire painting of the exterior and
interior, re-carpeting and new curtains and
the entire refrescoing and the execution Of
new figures for those Of the classic SUBJ
jects-orators, poets, historians, &C.
which now adorn the walls. The improve
ments have been begun and will be fin
islled, and tho hall reopened, before the
coming commencement in June. The
Diags deserve credit for their enterprise,
and the substantial aid Of our towns spec
pie in their efforts, to elevate the literary
tone Of the community and the improve
ments Of buildings which are a credit to
the city. ...:f.
