These men argued that the resignation
OF the pastor did not express his desire,
and that the congregation has prospered
since he has been pastor despite the hin
dering conditions They also claimed
that the Pre- bytery did not have the
moral or legal right to call or discharge q
minister without consulting the church.
They closed by saying that if the pastor
was removed from the church it would
mean ruin.
Mr.. Montgomery then asked leave to
Withdraw his resignation but this priyi-
lege was denied him.
A motion to accept the resignation was
changed to resolution to postpone all
action until the meeting to be held in
Milford in October.
And SO the matter ended rather unsatis-
factory, of course to those who had the
Oiiyet Church's interest at heart but with
the satisfaction of letting the Presbytery
know that should Mr.. Montgomery be re-
moved it would not be because of his fail
ure to satisfy the present members of his
church.
PASTOR TRULL ACCEPTED.
Rev. George H. lrull, who had accepted
the pastorato of East Lake Church was

carried whereupon The Presbytery proceed
ed to examine The candidate. Some ques-
ton arose us TO the manner of procedure
in an examination into the arts and
sciences but the moderator informed the
body that the custom was not uniform
the examination frequently being suspend
ed in lieu of the candidates diploma,
whereupen DR.. McCurdy motioned that
MIR, Trull present his diploma in lieu of
the examination, which motion prevailed
The candidate then underwent an ex-
animation of theology, church history,
languages, sacramonts and church govern
mont and all his answers being satiStac-
tory he was accepted. Mr.. Trull then
finally accepted the pastorate, 1t was
decided to ordain him on Tuesday, July ID,
in East Lake Church. Dr. NJ. d. BabCock

The session opened att o'clock with
Moderator N. H. Mill er IN the chair.
It's Introductory deliberations were listen
cd to with interest by one bundled mem
bers of Olivet Church and five newspaper
men and had 1t not been for Rev. S b,
Wylie OF New Castle, the women and
newspaper men would have had the priv-
lege of hearing the report on the trouble.
AS it were, the session was continued be.
hind closed doors while the Ousted wo.
men in particular, congregatcd in the en-
try of the editlce, and said everything but
pleasant remarks about those who had at.
tempted to sit on their pastor and ousted
themselves.
The motion of Wyle that every one who
had no business before the PrHSbytely be
excluded caused a iluttor of discomfort i'm
medintely after it was made The idea
probably had its birth because Of the fact
that Wylie is now holding on to his charge
at New Castle by the Skin of his teeth"
This is because of the resignation of eight
members from his congregation and the
threatened departure of as many moro,
which will in oil probability result III an
Investigation by the Presbytery into the
