WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Owing to dis
sensions among the members of the
aristocratic First Presbyterian church,
Rev. DR.. Dewitt Talmage will not re-
turn to Washington to take charge OF
his flock. The fact is, the church does
not want him. The majority OF the
members claim that DR.. Talmage
has far from realized their expecta-
tons, and that he has not built
up the church as he should have
done. In fact, the church has
less members and is worse off
financially than ever before. DR.. Tai
mage has not received farthing from
the church for his services so far this
year. This, however, is according to
the terms whereby the doctor managed
to get a church in the nations capital.
Considerable feeling, both for and
against DR.. Talmage, has been stirred
up The church is now in charge OF
DR.. Sunderland.
