year ago this same synod ARA gned
and convicted of heresy and pursuing
devious courses a number of the young
est and most prominent clergymen in
its ranks. These young men had framed
a proposed amendment to the church
law, striking at the fundamental princi

ballot. 10 was the father of the man
whose case Is now before the synod
who prosecuted the young cler-
gyman, and his arguments were
scathing, denouncing the dissenters as
heretics.
The picnic which young McAllister IS
said to have attended was held on July
at Bakerstown by the Junior Order Of
United American Mechanics. IL was a
very large affair, and the young country
folks danced throughout the whole day.
Young gallants clasped their best girls
about the waist as they went through the
whirl Of the waltz to the music Of string
orchestra
-Dr. w X McAllister, n prominent young
man of Bakerstown. who is very popular
with the young folks, was invited to the
picnic His brother David, the handsome
theological student, was visiting him
that day, and the two sons of the Rev
DR.. McAllister with a number of other
young people joined the merry party
that was dancing in the barn.
There is a difference of opinion as TO
whether young David actually danced,
but it is said that the Rev. Kirkpatrick,
of Batterstown, will present charges
stating that David did dance. His bro
