PREsBYTERY RETAINS CHURCH
Appeal Prevents Winning Faction from
Taking Charge of Old Westminster.

The contest for the $500 OG0 property now
used by the West Twenty-third Street Pres
byterian Church. near Seventh avenue but
which the court decides belongs to the
Westminster Church Is to continue the
New York Presbytery having sgnifed its
intention to appeal. Yesterday several per-
sons attended the church services with the
expectation that the winning faction would
have charge, but the notice of appeal acted
as stay.
The trouble is of several years standing
and grows out of differences in the govern
ing body OF the church. The Presbytery took
the property well as the church organi-
cation. IL has no right to the property, so
the civil court says. but the Presbyt erian
court decides II has a right To the organi-
cation. Henry Rrownlee, trustee. said
yesterday:
We realize that WE are liable to be put
OUT, but such action will not come at once.
on account OF the appeal The organZa-
ton Is secure. and If elected from this
property it might go across the street or
10 some other part Of the city. All that
is in dispute is the tile to the $500 Ono
We hope can keen II. and feel sure "A
higher court will give If 10 us. There is
nothing the matter with this dew ntown la
cation our whole difflculty has arisen
from having too many persons In author
ity, and they differing among themselves.

MAN AS A RELIGIOUS ANIMAL
Presbyterian Pastor Says Neglect of
Religion in Schools Is Shameful.

The Rev. DR.. John Copeland occupied the
pulpit Of the North Presbyterian Church
yesterday morning, and referred incidentally
to the matter of religious education in the
public schools.
Il am sorely tempted, said the preacher
ito digress A little from the main line of
our thought and speak SOMEWHAT Of the
shameful neglect of religious education in
public schools. Understand, am not
merely speaking from the standpoint of a
minister alone nor the alleged sectarianism
OF the clergyman, nor even of the religious
teacher
Il am speaking simply from the stand
point of the natural inherent Unborn rights
as much for instance. as the right to
breathe. Man is religious animal, who
has religious needs and school Is or ought
to be, the place where. far as possible
these needs are met
