disturbance in the affairs of the United
Brcthren's Church. Familiarity known as
the Old Moravian Church, at New Dorp
There has grown up difference between
the members Of the old Parent church
and the attendants of two associate mis-
sionary chapels one Of which is at Castle

DR.. Morris W LiotPrt. and the other at

man Nathaniel j. O~t rander of Grant CITY,
who has been a trustee Of the church since
1898
For several years there has been a dis
pute as to whether the chapel's attendants
had a right To call themselves members of
the church and to vote in le elections for
trustees. Those who Contenied that they
didn't have such right appealed to a
law passed Ii. this State a. far back as
1901 which seems TO have taken this right
away. The question came up in court
about a year ago. however. and IL was
decided that inasmuch as the chapel people
had always voted, they had a sort OF lien
on the right to vote and the court couldn't
we'll deprive them of that right at this late
day.
