DEMONSTRATION IN A CHURCH.
DR.. L. G. Broughton of Atlanta
JeeFed by Some of His Hearers.

DR.. l.. G. BrOughton of Atlanta
Jeered by Some of His Hearers.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. IA strikingly unus-
ual demonstration-the exact opposite of
that which occurred in Emanuel Baptist
Church, Chicago. several years ago, when
the pastor, Rev. DR.. George c. Lorimer,
now of fremont Temple, Boston, was ap-
plauded by his congregation for nota-
BILE expression at the funeral of one of its
members, was witnessed at the Third
Baptist Church here tonight, the pastor
DR.. L. G. Broughton, being jeered by
portion of his hearers.
The scene was the outcome of a discus
sion regarding the disposal of some
church property. "A resolution ordering
the sale was about to be put, when an
amendment was offered to the effect that
the action of the committee favoring the
sale, should first be ratified by the con-
gregatlon. DIR. Broughton left the pulpit
and coming to the floor said the amend
ment offered had been sent in for no 9TH
er purpose than to prOlong the fight which
was on in the church over the disposition
of the real estate. DR.. Broughton high
ly excited, said:
''For the sake of peace in the church
let's fight the thing out now and settle the
question"
He was interrupted and called to order
by one of the opposing force, and in
moment the church was in uprOar.
First came laughter from the female por-
ton of the audience then some one ap-
plauded with the feet and then the en-
tire dissatisfied element clapped their
hands, raped their canes and umbrellas
on the seats and the church rang with
their laughter.
DR.. Broughton attempted to quiet the tu-
mutt, saying there was one thing he was
sure of, and that was his religion. This
was greeted with Il doubt it, from ono
of the dissidents, and again there was
laughter. DR.. BrOughton returned quick
" to the restrum and after calming
himself, addressed a scathing rebuke TO
the disturbing element. Without further
interruption the resolution was passed and
! the sale ordered
Dr. Broughtons sermons have caused
more comment than those of any other
minister in this city, because of their
fierce opposition to other creeds and at
lacks upon Atlanta society. He came here
| from Roanoke, Va.
