WESTMINSTER CELEBRATES VICTORY.
Action Had Been Taken, However, to Out
wit Suit to Gust Session.

Services in the Westminster PRESBYTERIAN
Church in East 23d street, yesterday morning
We're in the nature of thanksgiving services over
the failure Of the attempt TO GUST the session
from control of the church.
The Presbytery through several members of
the church not in sympathy with the majority
brought action for Injunction restraining
the session of the church from managing the
property and controlling its finances and re-
straning DIR. Lee from occupying the pulpit and
the church This injunction was denied
by Justice Newberger in the Supreme Court
1t was learned yesterday. however. that even
had the injunction been granted il would have
failed of its purpose for the church had secretly
changed its method of government and elected
a board Of trustees entirely separate from the
session.
Justice Clinch has granted permission to the
trustees to mortgage the property of the church
for $4,000.
II was learned yesterday that the trustees Of
the church had applied to the Emigrant Indus
trial Savings Bank for this loan of s27O,OOO and
that as soon as the trustees of the Presbytery
heard OF it they filed lis pendens on the prop
erty James Yereance secretary Of the trustees
of the Presbytery, said last night:
We have appealed from the decision of Jus-
tice Newberger denying the Injunction and the
appeal will probably be argued before the Ap-
pellate Division In June. The question Of a
temporary Injunction Will not affect our suit to
terian Church. That will probably come TO trial
