LOCAL CHURCH FACING
A PECULIAR SITUATION

Christ Episcopal Church, Milford
seems to be facing the most peculiar
financial situation that has faced
church Of that denomination in the re
ligious history of Delaware. 1t seems
it's one Of the long standing, but the re-
cent ministerial change has caused the
matter to suddenly become q matter
on public conversation and to become a
sphiect for the deliheratiOn OF attorneys
Last year the rector, Rev John
Leighton McKim, who was the rector
in all fOrty.twO years, resigned A
month or go ago Thomas c. Frame Jr
Of Dover. sent letter to the vestry Of
the church on the question Of settling
the financial situation between the late
pastor and the church. The debt was
quoted at 81 600 with interest amount.
ing 10 81 $780, making a total alleged
Indebtedness Of 81 500 on the church
property which is valued at So 500.

counsel representing the westerly Of the
church and the two attorneys are work.

10 get the records Of the church straight.
ened out to the satisfaction Of all.
The Rev. Mr.. McKim was called to
the church for the first time ia 1862
and was the rector until 1879, at which
time be is reported to have resigned
from the church with the intention OF /.
leaving permanently. The year 1894 |
finds him returning to the church as
the rector, and this time he remained
until 1909, last year, at which time he
resigned under the alleged discu ssions
among members Of the congregation,
and the resignation was followed by
the presentation Of the claim against
the church.
The records Of the church are being
searched on the question as to whether
he loaned the money in the recOnstruc
tiOn, which was made between 1855
and 1857, the early years OF his first
term as the rector. 1t would seem
nom the allegations that he loaned the
nOney to the church during those
years to assist il the rebuilding. aud
that the money WAS loaned on a mort
gage, the papers for which are said to 9
still be 10 the hands Of the rector. Arch q
deacon q. II. B. Turner, Of Lewes, has '
been sent to the church by Bishop F C
J. Kinsnan to untangle the financial b
Affairs and prevent foreclosure pro-
'eedings. 4
The statistics Of the diocese show s
hat the church has about seventy z
and that the value Of E

Of 81, 500 and an indebted n
