YOung..FuIkersOn.

At thalf past nine Thursday morning
a simple wedding, yet one of the
prettiest OF the season, occurred at
the home OF DR.. ]. ]. Fulkerson in
East Lexington, when Miss Lillian
Fulkerson was united in marriage to
Mr.. Felix Young. The details we're
faultlessly carried out and the cere-
mony was exceedingly impressive.
There we're about seventy-fve
relatives and intimate friends of the
bride aud groom assembled in the
home, tastefully decorated in pink
and green when tie beginning of the
ceremony was announced by Mendel-
ssohn's Spring Song, played on the
piano by Miss Lavinia St. Clair This
was followed by Wagner's Wedding
March from Lohengrin, to which the
bridal party entered. The garland
bearers who carried garlands of
honeysuckles we're Misses Lucy Mans
deld, Theresa Wilson, Elizabeth Jean
Young and Elizabeth Farrell. Miss
Blanche Fulkerson, the maid of honor
and sister of the bride, preceded the
bride, who entered on the arm of her
father. The groom accompanied by
his best man, Mr.. Barnett Young,
met the BRIDE at the improvised al
tar, They stood under a canopy of
green, lined with white.
DR.. E. G. Gordon, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, performed the
ceremony-a modified form of the
Episcopal service, using the ring.
The couple knelt for the benedictiou.
During the ceremony Miss ST. Clair
played softly Schumann's Traumerei
and afterwards Mendelssohns Wed.
ding March.
The bride never looked lovelier
than she did in her gown OF white
null and lace in princess style. She
carried shower boquet of white
roses and sweet peas. The maid of
honor wore white and pink and car
ried boquet of pink roses.
After receiving the congratula-
tions and best wishes of the guests,

Supreme Court of Missouri
Decides That PreSby.
terianS Can't Unite.
HITS NEARBY CHURCHES
Court Through Judge Graves Holds That
Without Revision of Creed the Cum
berlaOds Must Remain Separate.

A supreme court decision of inter-
est to church members throughout
the state and of special moment to
several churches in this county was
hand down through Judge Graves
last Tuesday morning in the case of
Boyles ct al. vs.. Roberts ct al.
The suit grew out of the union of
the Presbyterian church and the Cum
berland Presbyterian church in the
year 1905, and involved the church
property formerly held by the Cum
berland Presbyterians at Warrens-
burg, Mo. Boyles, and the other
plaintiffs, were formerly. Cumberland
Presbyterians, but when the nnion of
the two churches was declared, they
cast their lot with the Presbyterian
church, U. S. A. The defendants
were Cumberland Presbyterians who
refused to recognize the union and
the question was who held the right
to use the church property.
The opinion is of considerable
length, reviewing the great number
of previous church cases throughout
the country, as we'll as the church
creeds of the two churches trying to
unite.
The court holds that under the con-
stitution of the Cumberland Presby-
terian church, the general assembly
had no authority to enter into this
union, without first amending its
creed and constitution, which was
not done. The court, after quoting
section 4S of the Cumberland Presby-
terian constitution, says; "The con-
stitution has dealt with the manner
of enlarging the church and in a
manner which does not indicate that
there should be a surrender of the
church organization, the church
name or the creed. Authority to
receive unto itself does not mean
to 90 to another. The written
instrument having mentioned the
specific way by which mergers or
unions can be formed with the
church, viz, by receiving other
bodies under its jurisdiction, excludes
the idea of enlargement, by such
church going in under another orga-
nization.n
The court also takes up the pro-
ceedings of both churches and shows
from their reports that neither
church claimed that there was
idenity of belief, faith or doctrine.
1t also compares the two church
confessions of faith and catechisms
and shows that there was not identity
in belief, faith and doctrine.
The court further holds that even
if the constitution of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church had permitted
union Of that church with another,
yet no union of two churches could
be made which would carry the
church properties, unless there was
substantial identity between the two
creeds or confessions of fai b, and
that there was not such identity Of
creeds in this union as would carry to
the new church property, or property
held In trust, for the Cumberland
Presbyterian church. On this point,
the court says: "The universal rule
is that where there is a schism in a
church, those remaining faithful TO
the tenets Of the church at the time
Of the dispute, whether they be in
the majority or in the minority, are
entitled to hold the property"

The climb to the Castle can be made in 40 minutes and the trail leads through q forest of prl' mcaval pines. All are welcome.
