twenty years. has handed his resignation to
tho Presbytery. to take effect on May !. The
church Is one Of tho oldest in New jersey The
first report OF Dr.. Ketchams intended resigna-
tion came right on the heels Of the first serious
trouble the church has ever had. The trouble
started in the choir room Of the church and
grew In proportion until every member OF the
church had taken sides. DR.. Ketcham re-
manned. apparently. a neutral party. but one
side has accused him Of sympathy with the
other. About year ago. John W. Bettman. q
produce broker OF this city. and Mr.. Edward
