Lack of Church Support Alleg- ed-Columbia Castle Meet
 ing To- night.

Complaint is made in several church es in this part of the city from time to time, that not all the members of the church and congregation help to aid financially in support of the church. It is said, that there Is disposition in all cases where person has not the means to render such financial aid, and where the excuse is satisfactory, to give the same it's due weight. But the claim is made that many who could aid to some small extent at least, do not do so. This matter has come up re- gently at the meeting of the Ecclesiast-' tcal society of Grand Avenue Congrega- tional church and it has been thought best to provide an amendment to the church rules. This amendment will be reported al the regular prayer meeting of the Grand Avenue Congregational church this evening, for such action az the church may take. The proposed amendment is as fellows:
 Article ?. Section 6. Each member of this church, whether resident, or non resident, shall pay sl per year, or two NcHtS d Neeh, to" dlu lnS culIeht eA- penses of the Ecclesiastical society con- nected with the church. Failure to comply with this rule shall be deemed sufficient ground for removal of a mem bcr's name from the roll of church membership, Such removal shall be made only in accordance with Article 3, Section of the standing rules and not without previous notice to such member. Any request for exemption from this rule may be made through the pastor. This rule does not release any member from supporting the church by pew rents, or free-will offer inqs arcnr,lin.r tn q hilifN
