LIFE OF UNITED BRETHREN

Webster City, March 15.-There is a
bitter fight on in the United Brethren
church in this city. The pastor, Rev.
F. E. Clark, has left the city, nearly
half the membership have withdrawn
their church letters, and the differences
have reached so tense stage that the
life of the church seems threatened.
The matter all started when Rev. Mr..
Clark refused to serve the country
charges at Mulberry Center and Oak
Glen. Last fall he notified the con-
ference that if sent back he would lot
serve the charges named. He was re-
turned. and when he refused to go on
with his country work, the church
board asked for his resignation. 1t was
sent in, but later the matter was
patched up and Rev. Mr.. Clark went
on with his work here.
+ Part of the congregation sided with
the minister and part against him. The
trouble which was patched UP refused
to down, and matters went from bad
to worse. Finally the board again de-
manded the pastors resignation. Rev.
Mr.. Clark. however, refused to comply
with their request unless they gave
him a bonus of 500 to leave the
church. Then the Ladies' Aid Society
got into the muddle, aud finally split
over the bonus asked by the pastor.
The church board refused it .outright
but the ladies' aid, of which the min
isters wife was secretary, made UP the
sum and paid it over The anti-Clark
faction in this society are now threat
ening to force the return of the mon
ey, claiming that it was illegally talk
en-.
Having gotten his money, Rev. Mr..
Clark has left the city to accept a
pastorate at Cambridge. He refused,
however, to formally file resignation
here. Hence he is in reality pastor both
here and at Cambridge The local
church has pastor but he does not
preach here. The feelings between the
church factions is intense.
