Notes

Peace no longer hovers like brood
ing dove over the doorway leading into
the little church erected to the worship
of the Divine Being by the Holiness
Band. The place has been usurped py
the demon of contention and 5ealousies
ever since which time this religious clan
has been rent with internal strife that
has almost threatened to destroy the
very vitality of the Christian spirit which
is supposed to pervade the atmosphere OF
the place.
The organization of the Holiness Band
dates back to 1881, and articles Of incor-
poration were filed in that year. Every
thing went along smoothly so far as out
side appearances went, until few
months ago. when trouble began. Some
matters came up about which the mem
hers could not agree and number OF
them seeded. But here is where the
greatest difficulty arose. The secession
lists claimed that they were the real
Holiness Band and that those who re-
mained were merely side issue. II is
not stated upon what ground they MADE
this claim, but ii is only natural to sup
nose that II was because they CONSIDERED
themselves possessed of more holiness
than their brethren
They claimed that the church located
at 521 Banning street belonged to them
and also that the funds in the First Ma
t,onal bank were subject to their check
In fact. according to the statements or
the complaint which has been filed, the
secessionists were going to turn the
original members of the Holiness Band
ont of their home without anything.
They carried the matter so far as to
serve notice upon their brethren for
bidding them the use of the premises. and
as the plaintiffs avow. have attempted
To break UP their meetings, and on one
occasion came in during services and

also served notice upon the First Ma
tional bank instructing them TO retuse
to honor any checks presented by other
than the secessionists.

last decided to have the matter settleo
in the courts, and yesterday they prought
suit to obtain decree OF court enJoihlhs
the rebellious faction from using the
name of the Holiness Band and for an
Injunction to prevent them from holding
the property of the original organiza-
tion. In the complaint the plaintiits
state that they have suffered great and
irreparable injury through the deceit
which has been practiced upon the pub
lie and that if the present condition OF
affairs is allowed to continue it will soon
ripen into actual ownership.
