necessary and proper making fair progress, and
while IL IS also probably true. asserted, that the
changes recommended will be fewer In number and
ess radical than the case either In 1880 or 1874
the fact remains that little definite Information

Lnows and understands the state Of things In the

Rev. DR.. Rolln A. Sawyer will present complaint
against Rudolph f. Prime. one OF the elders OF the

The doctor alleges that the record of the meeting
Of the Presbytery held on December H. 1S~ which
the permanent clerk presented TO the Presbytery
at its regular meeting later. was Of such charac-
ter as TO make 1t appear that the clerk falsed the
record Of proceeding.
In addition the complaint alleges that. as elder
OF the church. the clerk persuaded the elders ana
representatives of that church that DR.. Sawyer
iieved 10 be a solemn duty and procured their sig
natures TO a paper that effect for presentation
10 the Presbytery The complaint closes with these
words. Now there is but issue; shall the Pres
bytery be ruled BY clerk who tanipers Win its
