this direction we're we'll founded we
quote the language of Elder A. G.
Prendergast, urging the re.employ-
ment of Rev. Stone, who said as
follows in the session meeting: 81
believe it is best to re.employ
Brother Stone, because it will cause
re. reorganization or split in the con.
gregation."
3. Because the reasons for sign
ing said petion given us by q nun
Der who had signed differs very ma
terially from the wording and spirit
of the petition.
4. Because there are those who
signed the petition who say they
signed it, feeling little or no inter
est in the congregation, or signed it
because they were willing to pay a
certain amount to PASTORS salary,
with no reference to the re.employ.
ment of Rev. j. w. Stone.
8. Because, from what we have
seen and heard of the results
of the work of Rev, j. w.
Stone in Waco, as we'll as other
congregations where he has had
charge, he does not possess the
spirit of harmony so essential to the
success of our congregation at this
time.
6. Because, looking over our
record for the last year, we have
received only one member by pro.
fession of faith in Christ, and we
may truly ask, Why should our
church 60 barren of spiritual fruits
for another year Pa result we can
easily anticipate if Rev. Stone is
re employ ed.

From the Minority Of the
c. ?. Session,
In Regard to the Objections to the Pastor,
Rev. J. Wood Stone. as Printed
in The News Saturday.

The family quarrel now raging in
the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, exclusive published in The
News of Saturday afternoon, shows
no sign of abatement, but promises
rather to increase in violence.
Messrs. Powers and Stephenson,
members of the session who oppose
Mr.. Stone, deprecated the fact that
the matter got into print, and re.
fused to give any further informa.
ton concerning it. In fact, all
members of the church seen by THE
NEws this morning refused to have
anything to say.
The following, however, has been
prepared and sent out as circular
letter to the members of the church:
Dear Brethren and Sisters-We
have tried by prayer and the direc.
ton of our Heavenly Father, to be
led by his spirit and by walking in
the light Of the world, to do our
whole duty to you as your servants
A petition dictated by Rev. j.
w. Stone, as we are informed, for
his own unemployment, was pre-
sented to the session of our chur III,
signed by some members, and by
others not members, and upon mo-
ton to grant said petition we voted
not to grant same, for the following
reasons
l. Because we conscienciously
believed to grant the petition meant
further disturbance and would
produce acrimonious feelings.
2. Because the avowed design of
those leading in this movement to
secure the further services CT Rev.
j. w. Stone, whose tune had ex.
PRED, was to divide the congrega
ton, and to show that our fears in

petition have certain thing to be
accomplished, ard the signer OF the
petition therefore has but one side
of the question.
9. Because there was general
understanding with the session that
the congregation was to be called
together and the names of several
applicants for the place submitted,
and the congregation would be
asked in quiet becoming way to
indicate their wishes in the matter,
as contemplated by our book and by
the custom of our courch.
We inform you that in the vote
to grant the petition as presented,
three members of the session were
for and three against, and We believe
that even then the proper course to
be pursued was to call meeting of
the congregation, but instead the
Kew. L. Q. Sammons, without any
authority from the Presbytery. and
who has no local interest in our con-
ference and without authority, as
we claim, cast the deciding vote, as
we believe, wroDgfully and against
your interest.
Brethren and sisters, our action
in this matter is before you in the
interest Of the peace, purity and
unity of our beloved church, and
we are constrained to say that if the
present methods are pursued, that
the division as alleged, will tear our
church asunder. While we believe
a preacher who does not partake
with either side in this controversy,
could harmonic all the members
and lead ns to success, we work
and pray for united church, and
we believe it is your desire that the
church should remain united.
Your fraternally,
