CHANGED ITS RELIGION.
Unusual Proceeding That
Brought a Church Into
Chancery,

william G. E. See, a Master of the
Court of Chancery, took testimony yester-
day at his office in the Weldon Building,
in the case of the True Reformed Church
of Passamus against Henry Iserman.
Passamus is In Bergen County and the
True Reformed Church was a flourishing
congregation for that section of the coun-
try. Some time ago a majority OF the
congregation voted to leave the Reformed
Church and seek shelter from the wrath
to come in the Presbyterian fold. They
applies to the Chassis of Bergen for an
honorable discharge from the Reformed
Army, but the classis passed a resolution
ordering stricken from the Reformed
roster the names of Mr.. Iserman the
pastor of the True Church and Daniel
Van Horn Daniel Post, John B. Wander
beck. Daniel Helms, George Courtes and
John Storms, deacons of the church.
This did not seem to worry the gentle
men most concerned and they went right
on drilling In the new tactics which they
had adopted. They still called themselves
the True Reformed, although they wor-
shipped according to the tenets OF the
Presbyterian faith. Those in the church
who did not desert the Reformed
faith and Mr.. Iserman and his fol-
lowers claim that they do not
number over four. then brought suit
against the seceders to compel them
to cease using the name 1.-The True Re-
formed Church of Passanus" and to give
up the church property. There upon the
Rev Mr.. Iserman and his followers
obtained an order to show cause why the
suit should not be discontinued as the
men who had brought the suit as the
True Reformed Church of Pasamus did
not constitute the True Church. Il was on
this order that ths testimony was taken
