Jockey "Stew" Peters was evidently con-

went under him, and, several of the field
coming behind, tried the texture OF the
iockey's anatomy. 'Stew" got up, felt of
his head to see that no holes were punched
in it, twisted his knee joints back into

to be a trife shorter than the other, and

This Will Probably Be His Last
Appearance in the First
Church.
REV. DIR. ELLIS IN DEFENSE
All the Opponents of the Minister
Asked to Be Present Next
Wednesday Night.

In defiance of the expressed wishes OF at
least two-thirds OF the members of the
First Church, and the further fact that he
has been unfrocked by the Bay Confer
ence, DIR. Brown will preach to-day. AT
least he made positive statement to that
effect at IL O. clock last night, though he
declined to give the text of his sermon.
1t is generally believed that to-day will
witness DR.. Browns last appearance in
any capacity whatever in the pulpit OF the
nearly disorganized church. The opposl-
tion is firm in its determination to oust
the belligerant minister. The following
general notice was sent out yesterday:
SAN Francisco, Cal, April 90, 1896.
Matters will come before the regular meeting
on Wednesday evening April 20, vitally affect-
ing the future of the First Congregatlonai
Church. We are now in the majority, provided
you are there and we have duty to perform !;
which is to vote for the best interests OF the
church and the cause of Christ when we
believe will be best served by the retire
ment of the present pastor.
Do not excuse yourselves from being present,
thinking there will be enough without you.
Come, sick or well, rain or shine. This in
cludes those YOU know who will vote for the
church. }. 1. MCDONALD,
j. H. WARREN, DID,,

Committee.
known opponents of DR.. Brown, and is
done probably through the fear that the
pastor would refuse to call a business
meeting for next Wednesday night. They
fear that Brown would hardly call q meet
ing of the members for the known purpose
of formally having himself depcsed.
The opposition claim, however, that if
they should fail to muster majority at
Wednesday nights meeting it does not
follow that Brown will preach next Sun
day. They have had legal advice, and
acting on that they will apply for writ
of injunction on the ground that he is no
longer a minister. When he joined the
Bay Conference he surrendered to their
keeping his ministerial standing.
He has violated every ministerial obi
CATION, and now the power which gave
him an official existence suspends him
until such time as he can purge his char
acter of the suspicious resting on it.
Concerning this point DR.. Williams, one
of the best-posted men on Congregational
affairs on the coast, said yesterday:
'Dr. Brown may, of course, go into secu-
lar life if he chooses. but he should not at
tempt to preach, for he has no legal right
The Congregational Church has legal as
well as a spiritual standing. In the spirit
ual fellowship the members are free with
in the bounds of morality. But on the
legal side one church may interfere with
another.
"If the minority is too weak to make sue
cessful resistance the other churches can,
if they wish, interfere and help in the
name of ngTegationalism.
