the Reformed Faction.
Lancaster Pa, Nov. 26.-The unu-
sual spectacle Of a clergyman locked
out Of church, and preaching to his
congregation from the church steps.
was the result of the dispute that has
caused a schism in the United Evangel-
zeal Lutheran Church. in Eden town
ship, this county. The congregation
was organized some years ago in the
Lutheran faith. Recently a number OF
the members accepted the Reform doc
trine. elected a pastor of their own.
and, it is alleged. refused to permit
the Lutherans 20 hold services in the
church. Last Thursday the Lutherans
petitioned the court, and an injunc.
ton was issued restraining the Re
formed faction from interfering with
them. However, when the Rev. Emil
Meister. of this city. went to the church
TO hold services he found the doors
locked and the sexton missing. He
took the church steps for his pulpit
and preached a sermon. in which he
counseled his hearers TO bear their tri-
ais with patience and forbearance. Lit

His term not having expired when his
company was mustered out. he was
transferred to Company ID, Forty

served for thirty days, when he was
mustered out.
When it came to signing the pay roll
it was found that he was short $50 for
the time he had spent in Andersonville
He signed under protest, and then for
got all about it.
Recently he applied for pension,
and notified the pension lawyers OF the
no
government would pay him $276.S0,
which is the amount of his claim with
interest upon demand.
