HOLDS PRAYER A LIBEL;
ASKS $1,000 DAMAGES
Minister After Asking Lord to Rectify
Wealthy Farmers Faults" Re-
fuses TO Stralghten Matter.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. July 4.-Rev.
r. B. Fisher, pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church at Neoga. ILL.,, has been
made defendant In $1,000 libel suit,
following his refusal to tell the Lord
that he had wronged Jacob Stroll. a
prominent and wealthy farmer OF that
community.
20 Lord, make Brother Stroll bet
ter man; cause him to pay his debts
and have him cease backbiting." fer
vently duplicated the minister In a
prayer which startled his congregation
and started Stroll upon line OF
action eliminating In the suit for libel.
Other faults" OF the parishioner we're
recited in the minister's prayer and
Divine interference was asked to rec
tify them.
Now, you'd better make another
prayer and straighten things up with
the Lord" declared Stroll when the
pastor concluded his prayer. But DR..
Fisher refused
II can give the Lord no further light
upon the character of Stroll" he Is
credited with saying.
The "sDat" between the minister
and Stroll is looked upon as the out
come OF trouble that has existed ever
since the consolidation of the Presby-
terrain and Cumberland Presbyterian
denominations. Several years ago the
Cumberland Presbyterians, OF which
Stroll was a member. built a church
near Neoga, and this property later
was taken by the Presbyterians, the
Cumberlands being refused the use OF
the building.
Bitter feeling followed until recent
| ly, when Stroll asked DR.. Fisher 10
preach the funeral services of one OF
the Cumberlands.
I'VE will take part in the services
and then talk things over with the
Lord" suggested Stroll. The minister
agreed and the service was held
Stroll opened II with a prayer for
unity between the churches. He was
particularly fervent In asking for
more grace for the pastor. Fisher fol
lowed with the prayer that has
brought about Strohfs suit for dam
ages for SANDER.

Vaughan CHASER and his splendid

worthy OF the occasion. II was moth

starring vehicle next season and
Lyceum patrons are fortunate In be-
ing able TO obtain the FIRST view
of II.
The story told is a gripping one,
dealing as II does with the struggle
between capital and labor, which has
come to be the most vital sociological
problem OF the age. And through II
all runs q most absorbing love story:
centering around John Stoddard, the
bridge builder, and Janet Van Nest,
the pretty daughter OF Stoddard's EN-
ployer, a railroad president. In the
role OF Stoddard, an exemplihcation
Of the highest type OF manhood, Mr..
Chaser has one OF the best opportuni-
ties OF his career and Miss Courte-
ney's Janet In revelation. II il q
play admirably suited 10 the versatile
talents Of the CHASER organization as
a whole, and the success Of the pro-
duction under Mr.. Glaser's capable
direction, seems already assured.
The bridge scene In the second act
is perhaps the most remarkable ever
shown on the Lyceum stage. and 10
realistic to a high degree. The
workmen are real men, and they go
about their make-believe labors In a
way that shows familiarity with such
an undertaking. A particularly strong
delineation is the anarchist of Hardee
Kirkland. James Hester Is a typical
walking delegate, and Martin Wood
worth gives splendid account Of
himself as Sevick, Bohemian labor

child Is one of the most affecting side
features OF the story. The women OF
the cast are well assigned, the work

girl and OF Miss Kenyon as the snob-
