is sustained II Is manifest that the
effect of the same will be to terminate
the existence of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church as an ecclesiastical
body, and operate as a surrender of
its name confession of faith, constitu-
ton. and religious formularies, and a
substitution therefor of the creed and
law of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America for the gov
eminent and control Of such OF the
members and judicatories of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church as may
assent to the union-in other words.
to use the terms of said Section Z, the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church will
have been received into and incor-
porated with the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America.
The consequences of the plan OF
unien confronts the court with the
plain proposition-di did the, General AS
sembly of the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian Church, acting solely or concur
rently with the Presbyterians OF the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
have either the inherent power, or
under the constitution Of the Church,
the power to terminate the ecclesias-
tical existence Of the church?
The question is one difficult OF So
lution. and has involved an extensive
examination of authorities, in which
there is found much and able diver
sity OF opinion.
The Court expresses the opinion
that the constituted authorities OF the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
were without the inherent or constr
tutional power to perfect a union
which would terminate the existence
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church and become operative to sur
| render its name, standard OF faitn
and constitution, and transfer Its men,
bers, judicatories and properties 10
the control and Jurisdiction OF the
Presbyterian Church In the United
States OF America. But the question
being one of diversity Of opinion, 1t Is
not deemed a proper case for the
Court to make a ruling upon a pre-
liminary hearing, which would, as 10
the possession of the church proper
ty in question, be equivalent to n
nal determination There is enough
of fair controversy and merit on eitn-
or side to postpone an order giving
either complainant or defendant ex-
elusive possession of the church prop
erty until final hearing Until tine n
nal hearing the possession OF the
church property will be allowed botn
narties alternately and upon equal
terms. II terms are agreed upon by
the parties, they will be adopted by
the Court; IL not, the Court will make
an order arranging terms Of posses
sion.
| AS TO the various other questions
presented in the case, no opinion Is
given. The conclusion reached IN
| the facts stated is not to be consider
ed as finally determinative in the case
and may be presented and reargued
IN the final hearing.

REV. ATENS' SURPRISE
Occurred at North Branch Parsonage.
Granaries Replenished. Pocket
book Jingled with Silver.

North Branch seemed to be the
center OF attratcion in this community
Saturday afternoon. What was
there to attract? Ask Rev. Aten and
wife. They say nearly all their
young people in this community took
notion to come and see ,how they
looked and behaved in their own
home. Nor did they send them word
that they were coming. Mt even a
whisper over the telephone had
reached their ears. Yes, for once the
preacher was surprised.
Well, they came nearly fifty strong
being thoughtful enough to bring
something to eat. So they came
with baskets and buckets, kettles,
roasting pans and dish pans full Of
the requirements necessary to satisfy
the cravings of the inner man.
About four O'clock the daughters
took possession of the kitchen and
dining room, and in about an hour
the table was fairly grooming under
its weight of good things and the
preachers wife was beginning to
look anxious lest it should betray a
weak point and collapse. Fortunate

We are sometimes assaulted by dis
couragement because of our defects.
AT the touch of this monster we feel
ourselves sinking into a dank, cold
darkness, and hear the approaching
footsteps of "Giant Despair" Now,
if ever in our lives, is the time to put
no q fight. If we do not, all will be
lost. To finger unguarded in the
neighborhood of Despair is most
dangerousthing to do. In such a To-
cality the atmosphere Is very poison
GUS to our spirituality, especially if we
permit confidence in God to desert us.
If we keep good hold on this
Friends hand Encouragement wilt
avoid US and Despair take fright and
flee away If confidence between hui
man beings is the most essential ele.
ment of social life, how much more
important is confidence between God
and man! Confidence in God begets
confidence between men.
Note, if you please, how soon we
begin to regard conscientious man
who relies on God as q trustworthy
brother! Therefore, let US first make
ourselves right with God and every
thing else desirable will come. The
thought that others are faulty is not q
legitimate source of consolation. The
relief it gives is only temporary and
most debilitating. The feeling of su-
periority one sometimes experiences
on visiting prison and being ushered
into the presence of gang of crimi-
nails is spurious and should not be en-
tertained. YOu feel yourself growing
eminent not that you are rising, but
because your immediate surroundings
Gre sinking.
