Preaehes disagree.

A disagreement has arisen in
the First Presbyterian church
Of Washington, between the
Rev. r. Dewitt Talmage and
the assistant pastor, Rev. Ado
los Allen, over which a special
meeting of the Washington
presbytery will be called. When
DR.. Talmage came to the church
recently it was arranged that
he should preach Sunday even.
ings, while DR.. Sutherland with
whom he was made co-pastor,
should alternate in the pulpit
Sunday morning with Mr..
Allen, the assistant pastor.
The church has been crowded
on Sunday evenings since DR..
Talmage began to preach, and
there is a demand that he
should hold the pulpit twice on
Sundays. Offers have also
come from other churches for
DR.. Talmage's service on Suns
day mornings. He has an
nounced to the elders that he
desires 10 'Tteach twice each
Sunday; that he IL able 70 do
so, and the pressure on him
seems a providential call. The
elders have the same opinion.
NJ. Alien, however, stands upon
his rights, which are defined by
the contract and by church
probity, and declines 70 yield
the pulpit. Consequently the
presbytery will be called upon
70 decide the question.
