EFFECT OF DECISION OF TEXAS
SUPREME COURT FULLY
STATED.
ACT OF UNION BINDING
Extensive Property interests Involved
Which May Go Under the Con-
troll of the United
Church.

Dallas, Texas. March 1G.-Requests
for copies of the decision just rer-
dered by the supreme court of Texas
in the case styled William Clark ct
al VS. G. w Brown ct al are being
received from Presbyterian leaders
throughout the country. The decis-
ion in effect declares that the union
between the Cumberland ,Presbyter-
ian church and the Presbyterian
church of the United States was law
fully and properly effected, and THAI
all property formerly belonging ID
the Cumberland church is now the
property of the United church
The case originated in the town of
jefferson, this state. where the Cum
berand church sued to recover prop
erty which the United church claimed
ion. The district courts verdict was
for the defendants the United States
church, as it is called The Sixth Dis
trict appellate court reversed the
judgment, deciding for the plaintiffs,
the Cumberland church.
In the opinion just handed down.
the supreme court of Texas answered
two questions. Did the general assem-.
bly, of the Cumberland church have
authority TO cunsummate the union Of
that church with the Presbyterian
church? And what effect did the ur
ion of the two churches have upon the
property in controversy?
The opinion recites the facts of the
breaking away of the Cumberland
church for the parent church in 1910.
the subsequent attempts at reunion,
which We're consummated In 1906, AMI
showing that the union was cOnsum
mated in strict accordance with the
constitution. and therefore is bin!
ing upon all the members of the
church. The two contentious of the
plaintiffs, that the obnoxious sections
of the confessions of faith of the Un,-
ted States church, which were the
primary cause of the breaking away,
have not been eliminated, and sec
und that negroes may take part in the
of the parent church, ar
not considered in the opinion, il be
ing held that the general assembly OF
the church Is of competent iurisdiC
tion to decide these questions, and
that it has therefore decided them.
The second question, relating to the
effect of the union upon the property
of the Cumberland church, is answer
ed thus;
The deed for the property was made
to the trustees of the Cumberland
church at Jefferson, Texas. II eN.
pressed no trust or limitations. Itl
follows, we think, as a natural and
proper conclusion, that the church to
which the deed was made still owns
the property, and that whatever body |
is identified as being the church 20
which the deed was made must still |
hold the title.
THE local church was not disor |
ganized the lack of union. It re-
mained intact as a church, losing |
nothing but the name Cumberland |
from its name. Being a part of the |
Presbyterian church, the |
church was by the union Incorporated |
