believed was not q duly accredited min
is,er. The following is q clipping from
the Sacramento Bee OF that date, which
gives Mr.. Riddles remarks:
REV. Riddle said there was q man
named E. Thsyer Ingle, who had charge OF
the Presbyterian Church at Eureka, Ne-
ysds, who was not, he believed. a duly 40
credited minister. He had come to Eu-
reks with typewritten credentials. the sig-
natures 10 which were also written with Q
typewriter. The Presbyterisns of Eu-
reka had taken him in and were extend
ing to him considerable support.
lone member of the Presbytery, having
listened TO what Rev. Riddle had TO say,
remarked that he had heard that Ingle
had acquired q rather unsavory reputa-
tion in Oregon, and had been expelled
from the Church there. Hedid not think
it was we'll to allow Ingle TO continue in
the psstorate Of the Eureka church.
