First Baptist church Affairs.

For some time past there has been somethin 6
OF discord among the membership Of the First
Baptist Church, resulting in the retirement Of
the Rev. Reuben Jeffrey as its pastor. The
trouble dates back some two years, when one
of the executive committee took tho liberty at a
church meeting of reading list of the names of
members, who during the last year, had not con-
tributed to the support of the church, and was
only induced to desist after he had twice been
persmptorily commanded by the pastor to do so.
From this sprung other troubles, until the rela-
tiops became SO strained that il was unpleasant
for the pastor to continue his labors with that
church. 1t is claimed that the friends Of Doctor
Jeffrey in the membership and congregation
are go numerous and devoted that a leader TO
take the initiative ia q movement to secede and
establish for him new pastorate ID this city is
all that is needed to make it speedy and sure

Of such movement would be to
postpone the settlement of the controversy
three o. four days later in the session. It would
be possible, perhaps, for the Democrats TO
break up the quorum after Lieutenaut-eover-
nor Robertson calls the Senate to order, aud
thus prevent him from presiding over full
session until the 14ih, when Lieutenant COVER
nor Chase. under the statute. should take the
chair; but as the Senate must canvass the Lieu
teuant-eovernors vote at the recent election
before he can be seated, the situation would be
practically the same when they came back as
when they broke the quorum. II looks to me
as though the Democrats would have to take it
