possession, and Mr.. Gross occupied the par
sonage and performrd the duties of the PAD
torste. While Mr.. Gross WAS pastor an
addition was built to the parsonage and
sundry repairs were made to the church.
This work was done under the surerin-
tendence aid direction of the pastor, TO whom
the trustees had entrusted it.
When the present pastor, the Rev. H. W.
Stoke, took charge, finding that no satisfsc-
tory account had been rendered Of tho church
repairs, and that largo number of unpaid
bills was presented for work done. the cor
poration instituted suit against Mr.. Gross
for an accounting. The papers were referred
TO the auditor before whom much testimony
was taken; and in June, 1893, the auditor
filed his report according to which Mr.. Gross
was indebted to the church in the sum Of
$2S559. Exceptions to the report were filed
by Mr.. Gross, who presented an account &C.
cording to which the church was indebted to
him to the amount of $84.19, balance on sal
airy.
Upon the right Of Mr.. Gross to collect the
said $84.19 by law, as part of his salary, the
Judge says in his opinion "There is no legal
basis for claim of this character. The by.
laws or discipline Of the church was binding
upon Mr.. Gross. BY the voluntary act Of an
individual uniting with an organization or
association of any kind, he tacitly consents
to be governed in h,s relations to the associ.
alton, according to the rules adopted by the
association Par. 1871 on page 14S Of the
Discipline OF the Methodist Church South,
relative to the Board of Finance provides
that it shall decide all issues that may exist
in regard to the salaries Of PREACHERS and in
no case shall it allsw any preacher to have
claim on the church he has served as of
debt" There is nothing in the discipline of
either church, making claim on the part OF
the pastor, legal obligation against the
church property or funds. This same ques-
ton has been before the Supreme Court Of
New York. in the case of Lands Franklin
St. N. E, Church, 81 N. Y. R. 119, where 1t
arose in like provision on the discipline Of
that church, and 1t was decided that the
claim tor a preachers salary could not h.
sustained"
