CHURCH DISCOVERY.
The Queer Condition in
Which the Bergen Bap-
fist Found Itself.
EPWORTH LEAGUE EXTENDING.
st. Andrews Brotherhood Formed
in st. Mary's Episcopal
Church.

The Bergen Baptist Church has just
made a discovery which, If it had not
been discovered. would have been quite a
serious matter for the church This
church was Incorporated in 1858, Accord
ing to the laws of church government,
and started on its career most triumph
nntly. Under these laws all the power
was placed in the hands Of the Board of
Trustees, who owned the church property
and had full power to act in all business
matters. Only the Board were incorpor-
ated at all. In 1878 new church laws
we're made which gave the power to the
church direct, and which Incorporated it
us a church 1t also granted to the
churches the right to elect their trustees,
excluding all who were not members
from voting.
NOT INCORPORATED.
The Bergen Baptist Church for the past
seventeen years has been quietly govern
ing itself according to these new church
laws, and all things seemed going we'll
when the pastor. u few weeks ago dis
covered that the church has not been in
eorporated under the laws of 1873, and
then all things went wrong Steps were
at once taken to have the church incor-
porated, and this has now been accomp-
iished. 1t was then necessary to elect q
new board of trustees, and the old board
was reelected. How such serious
oversight could have been left
without discovery SO many year no
one can imagine, but now that every
thing has been satisfactorily arranged,
everybody is happy.
THE EPWoRTH LEAGUE.
new organization is making its APP
pearance in the Methodist churches and
viii no doubt prove powerful rival to
the Christian Endeayor societies.
The organization is known as the Ep-
worth League and has at it's head presi-
dent. There are six other officers, four
vice presidents, a secretary and treasurer.
Each vice president has a separate de-
ferent departments look after re-
iigious work, charity and temper
ance work, literary and studies,
and the entertainments work It is ex-
pected that the Epwortb League viii be-
come q powerful Organization, and IL will
no doubt prove attractive to young
people in the churches Already Epworth
Leagues have been formed in Emory,
Simpson and and Trinity churches, and
in many of the other churches there is
talk of forming organizations of the
League.
SOCIETY OF ST. ANDREW.
In st. Mary's Episcopal church new
society has also been formed composed
entirely of young men. It will be known
as st. Andrews Brotherhood, and the OBJ
iect is TO have the members attend to
parish work. The meetings will be on
Tuesdays, once in two weeks, and it is
expected that they will be of great in
terest Much parish work will be &C
eomplished BY the members, VINO viii at
the same time enjoy the pleasures that
the meetings will afford.
