Dr. LAW Takes Hand In the Fight at
 Columbia.
 COLUMBIA, s. C.. Nov. s.-The ser vices in the Second Presbyterian church here terminated in TOW. This is the church from which Miss Sadie Means was expelled for working on Sunday, while at the same time there were sev- eral members of the congregation who were allowed to continue Sabbath work. At Clinton last Friday the synod reversed the action of this church and during the absence of Pastor Blackburn Sunday the Rev. Dr. Law, formerly of St. Louis, occupied the pulpit. After preaching Rev. Dr. Law made state ment to the congregation in which he said he had only last night ascertained that the session acquieseed in it. lie intimated that had he known this sooner he would have refused the invi- tation to preach there. At this junct- ure Elder Suber jumped up and with extended arms shot this out at the min- lster:
 Stop right there; that is not true. Don't you go any further. This church knows it's business, and you are not stating facts.
 Dr. Law was not bit abashed, and went on to say that he spoke to the con- gregation as whole, and while he wished to hurt no one he must say it. After 8 sharp eolloquy there was gen. eral confusion. Scores of persons left the building and the elders crowded around the pulpit. They sang out that the preacher had heard only the ene- my's side. Dr. Law warmed up and declared he would rather see the church closed than go on shining in this way. The affair ended nobody knows how. While some were trying to pour oil on the troubled waters Dr. Laws wife caught hold of him and took him out. The end is not yet The congregation characterized Dr. Laws action as i'm pudent and uncalled for.
