rooms of the Y. NJ. c. A, tomorrow morning. This
Is the contest In which the Rev. DIR. Newman, for
nerly OF this city, is concerned against Or. Ranney
and others in the congregation.
The real point at Issue is whether DR.. Newman
can be Ousted from the pastOrate by DR.. Ranney
and his friends, as they are endeavorng to get rid
OF him, and say that he is trying to hold on to his
place against the open opposition OF the congrega-
ton by claiming to be permanent pastor Of the
church.
The New York Herald says: "a very lively time
Is anticipated both OF the factions are gtring up
their loins for the struggle The followers OF DR.
Ranney are armed with bushels Of evidence and
hosts OF witnesses, While Dr. Newman's friends are
prepared to hurl arguments ridlcue at the enemy
and even at the council as circumstances warrant"

among the celebrated preachers present will be R.

OF New York: j. J.. Wihrow, D. D., OF Boston, W. s.

see that this council Is going to do us any great
harm. II its members decide against Dr. Newman
we won't budge-not peg
