In the above list will be found
all but twenty-four of the 1876 names
said to have been secured to
petition requesting the trustees of thu
First Congregational Church to depos
the Rev. DR.. Charles Oliver Brown. Th,
missing names could not be obtained, bu
the complete list will be fileo with the
trustees either to-day or tomorrow
In addition to this formidable list, the
opponents of DR.. Brown claim to have the
pledges OF ITO other mem bers of the First
Church who will vote for the official de,
capitation of DR.. Brown if the opportunity
is offered. If this be true, there seem,
little likelihood of the unfrocked pasto,
remaining any longer in charge of hi.
present position than an official vote cal
be taken.
A committee of five. Oeacons Ha ten an,
Barnard. DR.. J. T. Mcdonald, DIR. J. H
Warren and Mr.. Simpson, has the matte
In hand and will on Saturday reques
Pastor Brown to announce from the pulpi
on Sunday business meeting for the fol
lowing Wednesday night.
There are some who profess to thinl
that Brown will refuse to make the an
nouncement, while others contend that h,
will read anything which might be handed
him because of his confidence to defea
any measure preiudicial to his interests.
The opponents of Brown believe that i
on test vote he should be retained a,
pastor of the church any dissatisfied
member could apply for a writ of iniunc
ton, and further, that the courts woult
sustain 1t. In any event if Brown should
attempt to preach next Sunday week ar
injunction will be asked for the outcom,
OF which will no doubt be interesting.
In the meantime Deacon Morse is alst
thinking of appealing to the courts. HI,
entertains vague idea that the Bay Con-
erence had no legal right to suspend his
riend Brown, whatever that gentleman
errors of the flesh might have been.
II am looking into the NATTER said
Deacon Morse yesterday, "and if there i.
any possibility of getting standing in
court the suit will be brought. Some of m
legal friends seem to think that such
suit could not be maintained, though there
are some who believe differently. In any
event l shall sift the matter to the bot
tom in an attempt to give minister o.
the gospel the same recourse in common
law open 70 every other class of citizens. ,
Deacon Morse will endeavor to get salts
faction from Mrs. Cooper and others who
nave opposed DR.. Brown, through the new
Cooper Congregational Church. His dis.
content arises over the fact that the
cooper Church refused to accept the ad.
vice OF the council concerning the name OF
the new church. The whole matter will
ne lad before the committee on creden-
tials at the next meeting of the Bay Con-
ference.
II well understand that the advice OF a
eSssEei need not be taken by church, but
THIS is the hr.t instance on this coast in
~fsieB the advice Of council has not been
followed said Deacon Morse. cit is a
gsfg serious matter that young church
lsss coming into fellowship should, as its
ktss sSt, reject the advice of council and
