involving the right 0! the church TO expel
members who have Sunday work to do and
which appears likely to become historical
has for the last two days been engaging the
attention of the Charleston presbytery now
IN session in this city. The particular OBJ
ject Of this church discipline is Miss Sadie
Means, an orphan living with her sister and
brother-iu-law, who has been engaged IN the
telephone exchange, where her services are
required for four hours on SUNDAY. Lost
month she was brought before the session
OF the Second Presbyterian church and sus-
pended from membership because Of this
alleged Sabbath breaking, as shown in the
argument. There are others Ia this church
who likewise work on Sunday. The
argument was made for Miss
Means by the Rev. J. W. Flvnn.
Rev. q. "A. Blackburn, pastor of tho church
appeared for the respondents. He said that
the church had formed fixed plan govern
ing Sabbath breaking, and It required that
no member should break the Sabbath.
The telephone exchange was not
necessary. He argued vehemontly on
the observance Of the Sabbath
day. This evil OF Sabbath breaking should
be svamped. II these charges were not

it would be inconsistent for bis church TO
recognize any person applying for member
ship who was Ia a legitimate and necessary
business on Sunday.
In reply, DR.. Flynn said that by their
peculiar ideas there was danger of some
persons drifting away from the truth by
their zealousness. IL people were run out
OF the church for such strict reasons it
would do away with tue whole object OF the
church, which is to Christianize the world.
It was nearly midnight when vote on
the question was reached. The case was
decided agaiust Miss Means and the Second
Presbyterian church sustained by vote of
20 to 8. The case will be appealed TO the
