Presbytery Takes Issue With DR..
Brimm as to Faith Healing.

At special meeting of the
Charleston Presbytery held We'd
nesday night in the Second Presby-
terian church in this city the con-
,troversy with the Rev. DR.. Brimm
was up for consideration again.
DIR. Brimm, it will be remem-
bered, attracted considerable at
tention by his advocacy of the
doctrine of faith healing. This is
not considered orthodox by the
presbytery and DR.. Brimm was
instructed to abandon teaching
the doctrine. The doctor informed
the presbytery that he would con-
tinue to uphold his belief and at a
later meeting of the presbytery at
Walterboro he was instructed to
abandon the teaching of the docts
rine SO long as he remained under
control of ,presbytery. From this
action he has appealed to the
synod of the church and it is said
the matter may eventually go to
the highest authority of the de-
nomination, the general assembly.
