the recovery OF about $4,000. which
the plaintiffs held was an overdraf'
made by O'Connor, has been with
drawn In Judge Murphy's court. The
defense maintained that OConnor
was entitled to the amount for sal.

was verbal agreement between the
late Joseph Berry and certain officials
Of the company to the effect that they
were to get extra money In addition
to their regular salaries, and the
plaintiffs. In the face of this argu.
ment, dropped the proceedings, not

OPPOSED TO LODGES
FOR THEIR PASTORS
Lutherans May Keep Ministers
From Secret Societies.

PHILADELPHIA, May ia lively con-
tention over the question of permitting
ministers to belong to oath-bound Sc
cret societies is anticipated at the
166th annual convention of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Ministerium of Penn
sylvania and adjacent states, which
opened in old ST Johns church, Race
street, below Sixth.
In his sermon at the ministerium' s
opening religious service the president
of the body, Rev. DIR. E. T. Horn, OF
Mount Airy seminary, characterized as
one of the dangers to the church the
temptation which, he said, leads min
listers to join associations with spe-
cial ritual and different obligations,
which perhaps put Christ on a plane
with Mohammed and made a separa.
ton in the congregation between those
whom they called brothers" and those
they didn't.
An amendment to the constitution
eliminating all restrictions against
ministers joining secret societies was
proposed at the last yearly meeting of
the ministerium at Bethlehem, Pa.
This is to be acted upon at the pres
ent session.
Another proposed amendment would
substitute for the present restriction
the following, which is much briefeT:
mo minister belonging to the minis
terium shall be a member Of any oath
bound secret organization or ORDER
Rev. Dr. J. A. w. Haas, president
q Muhlenbers college, Allentown. was
