There has been a very interesting
case on trial at Seaver's opera house
the past week before Chancellor E.. L..
Waterman of Brattleboro, Judge of the
superior court of Vermont The orator
was the Reformed Presbyterian church
of East Craftsbury, and the defendant
the United Presbyterian church of East
Craftsbury. 1t seems that as early as
1916 Reformed Presbyterian church
was organized at East Craftsbury, and
a church built and later a parsonage.
Preaching was kept up by regular
pastors until about 1905, when the
pastor, Rev. j. G. Taylor, died. Soon
after this there was an effort made by
some of the members of the church to
abandon the faith of the r. P. church
and adopt that of the U. P. church,
which was more liberal in some re-
spects, and allowed it's members to
hold office such as senator and state
representative, while that of the r. P.
churchswould not allow of it. This re-
suited in part of the members leaving
the old church and establishing a U.
z. church: pastor was secured,
preaching being held by the R. P.
church in the forenoon and by the U.
:. ?. church in the afternoon. This went
on. .harmoniously until the elders of the
y ?. church put an organ into the
church for use in their worship, which
was contrary to the rules of the R. P
church and until Rev. J. F. Crozier
pastor of the R. P. church, having his
goods in the parsonage, went to Penn
sylvania for his wife, and when he re
turned found Rev. E. E. Stewart, the
pastor for the U. P. church, established
in the parsonage. This suit was the
result. Mrs. Emma G. Mutt, county
court reporter, was here. Attorney.
for the orator, F. w. Baldwin, Barton
Elisha May, ST. Johnsbury. For de-
fendant, Horace F. Graham, Crafts
bury; Frank E. Miles, Newport; ]. G
Simpson, Greensboro. Quite a large
number of pastors and others were
here interested spectators.
