to preach the Presbyterian doc
trine. The old church said that
in view Of the fact that there were
more new churches than eligible
preachers, laymen should be al
lowed to conduct services until a
regular pastor could be supplied.
! The schism is said to have been
the most peculiar in church history
The new arrangement advocates
were in the majority and maintain
ed the charter and name of the old
church; willie the conservatives
who held rigidly to principles hand
ed down since the beginning, broke
away into a sort of a reform party
and adopted a new name.
"The principles of the two Pres
byterian churches were very
much the same" said a Presby-
terrain minister last night. "The
difference always lay in the atti-
tude of the church toward the
question of laymen supplying the
pulpit. 1t became an obsolete
one, however. AS time went on,
the church educated hundreds OF
young men to the ministry. There
was no longer a need of using lay
men to conduct services in from
tier meeting houses, as in our
grandfathers' time.
"When the condition became
generally recognized among the
brethren OF the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, they were
willing to- merge again and lose
their identity as a separate organ
ization. The amalgamation was
performed in 1905. 1t was then
found that there was a party in
the s~o-called reform church that
wanted to retain its independence
and its property, particularly, We
believe the later"
Attorney Frank Hagerman who
will represent the original church
in the proceedings, said last night
that subpoenas has already been
served in the case and that il
would be fought to a finish with
the idea of settling the legality OF
the merger permanently.

Presbyterians in U. S. Cir
cult Court.

An application for an injunction
forbidding the Cumberland Pres
byterian church from retaining
property in seventeen Missouri
counties has been filed with the
United States circuit court here.
The complainant is the Presby-
terrain church of the United States
through its officers, James NJ.
Barkley, moderator of the general
assembly, and William H. Roberts
clerk of the general assembly and
secretary of the executive mission.
The case will be heard by, Judge
John F. Philips in the January
session of his court.
According to the petition, the
Cumberland church became ANAL
gamated with the other in 1905.
The merger, it is alleged, was ac-
cording to law and with the con-
sent of the management of both
parties, but a certain dissenting
faction not only refused to recog-
nize the new arrangement but al
so refused to give up the original
church property, valued at over a
million dollars in Missouri alone.
The petition further charges
that A. M. Buchanan, w. Green,
l.. F. Clemens, j. w. Duval and
R. L. Lawr.an, representing the
synod of the former Cumberland
Presbyterian church OF Missouri
have been engaged actively in in
citing and furthering a conspiracy
to take the property OF the Pres
byterian church of the United
States for their own use and BEN
eft.
The counties where the proper
ty is located are: Saline, Clark,
Linn, Dent, Greene, Lafayette ,
jackson, Charlton, Lawrence, Ma
con, Schuyler, Buchanan, Vernon
Bates, Randolph, Henry and John
son. 1t consists mainly in build
ing lots and church buildings, but
several farms are included.
In the early part of the last
century the rapid growth OF the
original church and the high stan-
dards adopted for its ministry
brought about a condition OF at

ed in front Of the heutenant's desk It

his story.
Man Left Bundles.
He was walking home in the rain
about O'Clock this evening when at the
corner OF Catharine and Monroe streets
he met a man carrying two heavy pack
ages on his shoulders. The man, who
looked ike Jew. stopped and asked the
Totaro boy whether he wanted to earn
cents.
The youngster answered that he would
be glad TO earn nickel and the man
told him TO follow along. They walked
up Catharine street 10 Madison, and then
turned up Oliver street until they reached
one OF the gates Of Public School No. l.
There the man turned TO Totaro and told
him TO watch the packages a few min
utes and that he would be back right

The boy stood there for half an hour
and the man did not come back. He
kept watching for the return Of the man
who had left him there, but the man
was nowhere in sight.
