One Has a Building Fund

The Christian Church Heals the Breach

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

9Uo Broadway, August ..
Next Sunday will decide the fate of the
two churches of the Christian denomina-
ton in this city that came into existence
because of trouble ten year. ago. An
election will be held by each congregation
20 decide whether the two churches shall
go out of existence individually and unite
IN one large central church.
For over a year tins plan has been
mooted, but it was all brought to head
three days ago at little informal meeting
IN the office of the Chief of Police. The
First Christian Church has fallen off con-
sidersSly since Rev. Edwards Davis took a
hand to build up the Central Church
three years ago and since they disposed OF
their church building and have wor,hiped
in the y. NJ. c. a. Hall it has been felt
that it would be better 10 have one strong
organization.
The First Church has a substantial
building fund and the Central Church has
a large mem bership and the two elements
together will be BILE 10 unite in powerful
organization.
at the conference Chief Lloyd, Rev.
Glen McWilllams, William Porter, MD,
and Mr.. Whey represented the First
Church, and Rev. Edwards Davis, John
W. Metcalf and Mrs. Ada Van Pelt the
Central Church. The resolutions drawn
up were submitted TO business meeting
of both churches and heartily Endorsed.
Last nigh, joint meeting of the officers
was held and nineteen were present.
Next Sunday nj hit vote will be taken
OF the two congregations and the matter
Will be settled.
Another part OF the plan is that the two
pastors shall resign, and that a successor
shall be chosen by the united congrega-
tion. Both the RevS. Mr.. McWliiiams
and Mr.. DAVIS have already rendered
their designations, to axe place as soon as
the vote on the union is decided. A new
board OF church officers vail also be
elected, and the property of both churches
Will come the property of the Christian
Church of Oakland. Nothing has yet
been said about the pas or of the united
church, but it wilt most probably be the
Rev. Edwards Davis. He has built his
church from a members ip of so to $50
in three years, while Rev. Glen McWil-
iams has only been here a few months
ana is but little known.

| The First Congregational Sunday.schoo
orchestra is thing of the past The or
gan cation that visited Santa Rosa
| Fresno, Sacramento and San Francisco
! and made such q name for Oakland In the
Christian Endeavor convention has been
turned out of the Sunday-schoo. If il
exists longer it will 60 by another name
and independently Of the church and
Sunday-school.
Director w. J. Mccoy is in receipt OF q
communication from joint session OF the
trustees ana deacons. constituting the
church committee. 1t stated plainly that
the orchestra would no longer be recos.
nizsd by The church nor be given a part
in the Sunday-schooI. Under this con-
dition it would not be proper for them &c
carry the name. No reason was given fol
their action.
This move has been conte NJ rlated for
some time, and is the result OF opposition
by the church's pastor, Rev. c. r. Brown.
He came here in February and one of the
first things be did was 10 oppose the play
ing in the orchestra of young people who
were not Christians This did not NEE,
with the approval Of many of the players
and Immediately there was trouble. Sew.
eral OF the players left and have not been
back since. Their absence was commented
upon by many of the Endeavorers during
the convention In San Francisco, but rx-
cuses W ere made for them. Some played
for that occasion only.
Mr.. Brown ms SEED that the orchestra
had overshadowed the Sunday school and
detracted from the vocal work in singing
hymns. He placed special stress upon
the secu.arzing, by taking in experts and
professionals. 1t won seem by tins last
move that he mad won his point, Tor
there will be no more orchestra in the
Sunday-school.
But the end is not yet. There will bs
trou BILE over the music and instruments,
which both sides will lay claim 10. Neither
church nor Sunday-schooi paid the or.
chesira's expenses which were MADE bv
concerts gwen in the Au itorium, The
rent was, of course, donated, es was the
use of The rooms for rehearsals. This
gives the church, in some sense. claim
upon them. The orchestra was governed
by a board OF directors consisting of its
president, vice president, secretary, treas
urer, musical director and librarian.
w. A. Fine Is the pres ident of the or
cnestra, and has been one of its most
stanch supporters since its organization
twelve years ago. When playing a full
complement the orchestra mum Der thirty
five pieces. 1t was customary for them 10
participate in the regular school sery ice.
Rev. John Rea, now superintendent OF
the First Presbyterian Sui ,y..chooI and
director Oh their orchestra, organic it
when he was the SUPERINTENDENT OF the
Congregational Sunday-school About
six years ago Alex T. Stewart succeeded
him. and served until last fall when
William j. Mccoy was selccte as director.
II is expected that they will eoatinue
their organ cation as secular affair un.

Clara Fallmer, who, according to the
doctors, will Inv. to be Tried on charge oil
numbering her sweetheart, is already pay
ing the way for her defense. Her actions
in this regard are little premature, con-
sidering that her lover is not yet dead and
the bullet she fired at herself is still in her
shoulder.
The girl, who shot Charles Ladue, is
daily gaining strength, and unless some
thing unforeseen happens, she will live to
regret her act of week ago. A couple OF
her brothers were permitted to see her to-
day for the first time.
CLARA was engaged 10 be married 10 La
due" said Charles Fallmer to-day. "She
got ring from him aud wore it, but gave
1t back to him last Saturday night"
The other brother, who is married, says
he met Ladue in saloon ard told him he
did not want him 10 be going with his sis
ter. BE asked Ladue not TO keep COM
pany with her, blu. TO let her go 10 school
and he promised 10 do SO, but did not
keep his promise.
Cara Fail mer Is q very emotional girl.
Yesterday she declared she hated her
lover, but little later she received a
message from Ladue. expressing hone
that she would get well and saying he was
sorry she had TO suffer.
The girl has informed the matron that
mania runs in the family and that she
must have been insane when she shot La
due. She says her grand parents killed
themselves, and also her elder sister.
About four years ago, Clara says, she shot
her younger sister through the hand and
declares that there are times when she is
not accountable for what she is doing.
There is no hope for tie recovery of
Lqdue. He believes that he is going to
nd iS "A atQ in n on
so that it is useless for him to make an
ante mortem statement. The doctors.
however, can see nothing thai would lead
them 10 take such hopeiul view.
