INJUNCTlONS NEW USE
EMPLOYED TO KEEP PERSONS
 FROM CHURCH.
Latest Development in the Internal Troubles of the Christian Con- gregation at Huntsville-De-
 fendants Give Bonds.

Huntsville, April A.--(Special. l--By ap injunction filed in the Chancery Court last night, Elders Sommers and Cam bron and Fulghan and Messrs. J. R. and Robbins Jones. who broke into the Christian Church two weeks ago, are re- strained from entering the church again and are forbidden to interfere in any manner with the management of the church by the existing trustees. A bill of injunction to this effect was filed late last night and Judge Speake required of the defendants bonds of $500 each. The complalnants are Ira F. Collins and oth- CTS, trustees of the Christian Church and their attorneys are Cooper and Foster. It is said that the defendants will file an answer at once and seek to have the injunction dissolved.
 This church matter Is attracting great deal of attention again and every new development is awaited with the keenest interest The controversy over the pos session of the church began two weeks ago when Elders Sommer and Cambron and a few others entered the church by force and changed the locks. They were arrested and criminally prosecuted but the cases against them were dismissed. In the meantime. however, the existing trustees entered the church by force and changed the locks again and have since warned every member Of the rival fac ton to let the doors alone and keep off of the premises.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-04-25

a doctrine of so palatable nature would he seized upon, but did you ever stop 10 think how weak are it's foundations? The cleanest inferences of Scripture command us not merely to believe but also to do good works. Passing over altogether the testimony of St. James whose epistle is characterized the "Epistle of Straw" and who tells us that "as the body without the spirit is dead, se also faith without works Is dead" we have the unequivocal mar dates of Gods Holy and Inspired book 'xo do penance from his own wickcdness" ''tn do penance for our sins" Ito turn to God doing works worthy of penance." True indeed St. Paul says that i've ac- count man to be Justified by faith with out the works of the law" and that without faith 1t is impossible to please God.' and St. Mark He who believes and is baptized shall be saved" and that those texts mean? We must judge of the
 meaning from the context St. Paul in his first text is arguing with converted Jews. who wished to magnify the im- portance of the works of the old law, and in the second text he argues against converted pagans. who wished to mag nifty the works of the natural law. He proves to both that no works of either the Mosaic law or the natural law could merit Justification, which Is a gratuitous gift having its source in the faith of Jesus Christ. The faith of the new law Is then, as the Council of Trent expresses 1t. the root and foundation of all Justification. St. Paul as you see, does not at all refer to the works of the new law: He Is not speak ing about them; it is not his scope or purpose. He does not therefore ex- ciude them. He lays down one essen tial of Justification, which 1t Is bis pur- pose to speak about in that particular place. but he does not thereby depy an- other essential. If tell you. convers- ing with you about bodily strength. that good athlete must be strong, I do not thereby exclude other qualities which a good athlete must :. possess such as agility. alertness and science; he must be strong of course, but he must have the other qualities also.
