MUST ANSWER
RECENTLY BROUGHT CHURCH
CHARGES
Rev. Mr. Barr, Whost Passionate Was
Antagonlzed, Was on Committee
That Tried Training School
Chief

|. II. Cammack, superintendent of
the Training School for Christian Work
ers and prominent member of the
FRIENDS church, who had been instru-
mental in bringing the recent charges
against Rev. Levi d. Burr, the pastor,
was charged with INSTRUMENTATION at
the monthly meeting at the church last
evening, his case being handed up to
the judiciary committee by a vote of
81 to g.
The Friends gathered at the little
church last evening, bound to have the
church affairs settled. Reporters who
TOOK their seats with the congregation
caused much excitement among the
Cammack faction, who strongly OPP
posed their admttance, but by the
favor of the majority were allowed to
remain to witness the action of the
brethren in affairs ecclesiastical
Nettie c. Brown. a friend of the Barr
faction, presided as chairman of the
evening and showed much executive
ability.
Depose Can1ack
The first business to come before the
meeting was the selection of an elder
to serve three years in place of Mr..
Cammack, who was deposed. The
nominating committee appointed by the
i'iNNNi'iso VI liiiilobl anu ONGI pre-
scented the name of Nettie C. Brown,
who was elected.
The next business transacted was the
election of church committees and Of
ttcers for the ensuing year. This called
forth much discussion. Mr.. Cammack
objected to more than one member of
family serving. This was objected
to in turn by the other side, which con-
tended that man and wife on the
same committee could work better for
the church than two members of diff
ferent families. This view of the ques-
ton was carried.
Pastors Wife's Withdrawal
Mr. Cammack again showed his OPP
posing powers in the subject of the
withdrawal of Mrs. Barr, the former
wife of Rev. Mr. Barr, from the church.
Mr.. Cammack wished to know the why's
and wherefores, strictly according to
the discipline of the church, regarding
her withdrawal. The discussion was
closed, the vote being almost unanimous
TO lay it on the table. Thirty-one to
six stood almost without a change on
all subjects brought up for voting
Each side was firm in it's stand, and
many sharp retorts were given during
the evening.
ull' NdS lIlell charged WIFI
INSTRUMENTATION in refusing to counsel
with the officials of the church and of
writing letters of a scurrilous nature
to prominent ministers of the Friends
church of California and many prom
inent Friends in this country. Another
charge made against him was that he
instigated the publication of defam-
atory matter bringing reproach upon
the church in the cause of Christianity.
The matter will be decided by the
judiciary committee.
Rev. Mr.. Barr, the former pastor of
the church, who was present at the
meeting as a member of the committee,
was non-committal outside the action
he took in the meeting. which was also
the case with Mr.. Cammack.
Owing TO the rush of business the
Talk-o-Pnone department Of the South
ern California Music company will be
open Wednesday and Saturday evenings
for the accommodation of Herald sub
scribers.
