CHURCH WITHOUT CREED
CIR RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE
ANY MINISTER OF ANY SECT
MAY OCCUPY ITS PULPIT
NEARLY 100 YEARS OLD.

LATRoBE, Pa, Dec. 31.-Mt. Pisgah
Church Of God, little, patched, wood
en- structure on a wind.swept knob
among the foothills Of Dry Ridge.
six miles south Of here, was re-dedi-
Gated yesterday afternoo and it
will hereafter be known as Mt. Pisgah
United Church.
Its congregation has the distinc-
ton of>belonging to no particular de-
nomination and subscribing to no set
religious doctrine. The building was
dedicated to the worship of God as 4
sanctuary wherein any minister Of any
sect may preach. Rev. R, B. Bowse",
of the Church Of God at Bolivar, is
holding services there monthly. at
the rededicatory services yesterday.
Rev. G. W. spiggle, of st, James LutA-
eran Church, youngstown, delivered
the principal address. Rev. Mr.. Bow
ser preached. The exact date of the
founding OF Mt. Pisgah church can
not be learned, but 1t is supposed to
be fully 100 years old, Rev, John
Hickernel, lovingly known as Faith
er John" preached and taught there
for many years, his pupils including
many children of pioneer settlers.
The disorgs Ilization of the old
Church Of God and the dedication un.
der new name follow trouble in the
congregation over the arrest of the
former pastor, Rev. George Hume,
when Miss Daisy Porch accused the
minister, who was married, Of kissing
her.
