Dispute at Cedar Rapids eliminates
In Arrest Of Pastor.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa. June 1S.-A
church scrap which has been matter
of public gossip for several months
has just eliminated in the arrest OF
Rev. B. H. Morse, for the past year
pastor of Bethany Congregational
church, this city. Something over a
year ago Rev. Vinton Lee. then pastor
of Bethany church, was called to
sOnawa, Iowa. The congregation call
ed Rev. Mr.. Morse, of Ohio, to be his
successor. Morse, it is alleged. soon
began running things with a high
hand. He objected to sociables,
ladies' aid societies, church entertain
ments and other such things as affairs
of the devil. and those who did not
agree with him he proceeded to read
Iout of the church. He attracted to
his support, however, a number of
people, mostly of the holiness belief,
The older, conservative members of
the church have been trying to regain
control of the church and GUST Morse.
| On last Sunday the conservatives
secured temporary injunction re-
lstraining Morse from holding services
in the church building, the conserva-
tives alleging that Morse has not been
legally elected pastor. Yesterday
Rev. Mr.. Morse met one Of the con-
servatives on the street and, it Is al.
legged, called him perjurer and as
serted that the said conservative
would soon be in jail. For this the
conservative had the minister arrest
ed on the charge Of disturbing the
peace.
How long the war will continue is
la matter Of guesswork The con-
Iservatives claim they will soon GUST
i Rev Mr.. Morse by legal means, and
the radicals. led by Morse, asserting
4 that they are acting entirely within
| their rights. The sympathy of the
j Davenport and state associations was
with the conservatives, but the matter
was not featured in the association
meetings because it was hoped quiet
way could be found to GUST Morse.
