Canada. Later she will curtan her

Gets All Property.

Little Rock, Ark, July 12.-The
state Supreme Court held to day
that the union between the Presby-

Cumberland Presbyterian church,
in 1906, was valid and that the Pres
byterian Church, U. S. A, succeeds
to the title of all the property
held by the Cumberland Presby-

This decision differs from that Of
the courts of Tennessee and Missouri
which held the churches united on a
common faith, but retained their
