COMMITTEE NAMED.
Investigation to Be Made of Eastern
Presbyterian Church Troubles

The Presbytery of Washington. which
was in session all day yesterday in the
Gurley Memorial Presbyterian Church, on
Florida avenue between 9th and eth streets
northwest. late in the afternoon decided to
investigate the affairs of the Eastern Pres
byterian Church, corner of Maryland ave-
nue. and 9Th street northeast. A committee
of three ministers and two elders of the
presbytery was appointed with view to
determining the conditions which have
given rise to the fractional troubles there
over the acceptance or rejection of Rev.
DIR. Thomas Chalmers Eastons resignation
from the pastorate of the church. and de-
termining well the possibilities of ad-
justing the differences involving congre-
cation and pastor, which threaten to cause
the financial and organic downfall of the
church.
The committee is in no sense a commits
sion with judicial powers it is stated, but
is simply committee of investigation en-
dowed with the additional authority of
visitation. and after 1t has heard all there
is in connection with the affair from both
sides it will report to a special meeting of
the presbytery, which body will then take
action. deciding whether or no the pastor s
withdrawal of his resignation at the meet
ing yesterday shall end the matter by set
Ting that he shall remain
The committee is composed OF Rev. Dr.
Teunis s. Hamlin of the Church of the
Covenant, REV. DT. w uiidtn u
of the West Street Church. Rev. DIR. b. f.
Bittinger retired, stated clerk OF the pres
bytery: Elder Provost of the Gunton-Tem-
pie Memorial Church and Elder Kimble of
the Western Church. 1t will sit this even
ing at 1870 O'Clock at the Eastern Presby-
terrain Church, and will hear both factions.
1t is believed by the members OF the com
mittee that report will not b. ready for
week or more.
At the meeting of the presbytery yes SER
day afternoon commissioners representing
both SIDES of the controversy presented m =
MORALS stating their positions and asking
for redress. 1t was in response to the re-
quest of the minority, which revealed for
the first time officially to the presbytery
the differences existing in the Eastern
church. that the investigation was ordered
Both parties were given ample opportunity
to present their cases. Much sorrow is felt
by the ministers and elders, members of tn,
presbytery, over the situation, and every
effort is to be made by them to adjust il
tremendously.
