at the Christian Church in Selma this
evening. and it proved to be very IL

ance of town folk and Rev. C. o. Johnson.
pastor OF the church, was the leading en-
tertainer Many Of the participants were
dressed in otd and Eustic costumes and
amused the audience with uncouth antics.
It was all in 2 spirit of fun.
But A. 4. RowelI, the elder of the
church. thought that good Christians
ought hot to act in sueh an undignifei
manner in a house OF worship.
He arose from his seat, and, after sienc-
ing the audience, declared firmly that
this had gone far enough and the enter
tainment must stop" Elder Rowell
would not have the house of God desc
Grated by such undignihed actions OF both
pastor and mem bers. He was surprised =,
ne explained, at the actions of Rev. Mr..
Johnson.
Elder Rowelrs authority was immedi-
ately recognized, and every one began
pre- pairing to 90 home. Outside the church
a lively row followed. Elder Rowe,I was
supported ~ num0er OF those present,
and the pastor had \ strong backing, ali
those who had come in costume siding
