NO TROUBLE.
All Was Quiet at tho Prayer
Meeting, at Congdon Street
Baptist Church.

II was anticipated that there would be
more or less trouble at the prayer meet
ing at the congdon street Baptist church
last evening, but there was no excitement
OF any kind.
Deacon Greene and several others who
are in favor of having the pastor. Rev.
James H. Presley, resign. were present.
as were the IL members who were arrest
ed at the instance OF the Presley faction
this week on the charge OF having dis
turbed church meeting.
All told, there were about 35 In the con-
gregation, Deacon Greene's party being
an the majority.
The verses chosen by Mr.. Presiey for
the scripture reading were rather signi-
ficant. The Greene faction restrainei any
desire 10 break out. however.
Among other things the pastor read
were the following:
Hide me from the secret counsei OF
the wicked. from the insurrection OF 'hs
workers OF iniquity:
''.yho whet their tongue like SWORD
and bend their bows to shoot their ar
rows even bitter words:
But God shall shoot at them with an
arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
so shall they make their own tongue
TO fall upon themselves: all that see them
shall flee away"
There were several other seeming
thrusts during which DIR. Greene and his
party behaved admirably.
At the close, however, Deacon Greene
got up and made a few remarks.
He recalled that Paul before he was
converted used 10 bind Christians and
imprison them.

"would want 10 put Christians In prison"
The deacon was just beginning TO be-
come excited when somebody said:
I'VE came here TO have a prayer meet
ing tonight. Let's have prayer meet
ing"
The deacon sat down and the meeting
was brought TO peaceful close forth
with by the singing of a hymn and the
bencdiotion pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Pres

friends are awaiting the opportunity 10
