times on Miss Mulhern. but each time
she asked for postponement. and the
matter dragged along for several
weeks.
Becoming weary at last OF dancing

tee reported the charges to be without
foundation and recommended that Miss
Mulhern be dropped from the member

was submitted to the congregation at
meeting called for the purpose and the
recommendation was adopted without
dissenting voice. Miss Mulhern
ceased TO be a member Of the church

Now she has begun suit for $4,000

yet been filed. and the exact charges
she will make as the basis for her suit

was paid by the church.
A year ago the trustees decided that
her services could be dispensed with
and she was dropped. and not until
after the action had been taken did
DR.. Jackson know of 1t.
