PRESBYTERIAN J
UNION UPHELD
UNITED CHURCH WINS LONG,
STANDING DISPUTE WITH
CUMBERLAND CHURCH

The union of the Presbyterian
church in the United States OF Ameri-
ca and the Cumberland Presbyterian
church. effected In 1906. was upheld
by Judge A. 8. vanvalkenburg In
the United States District Court in
Kansas City Saturday. Members OF
the Cumberland church we're forever
enjoined from interfering with the
use by the United Church of church
property In Missouri.
Title to all property OF the church
In Missouri Is quieted In the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
of America under the decision. The
property involved amounts to ap-
proxibately $1,50O,00O.
There we're two separate suits In
stituted In the Federal Court In Kan
sas City by the United Church In the
fall OF 1909. One known as the
church case was begun ON behalf
OF James NJ. Barkley OF Baltimore.
moderator OF the United Church.
against Hugh Hayes OF Marshall, a
trustee OF the old Cumberland church.
The latter claimed the union OF the
two churches was Illegal. This was a
general bill TO quiet title to church
property and to enjoin the Cumber-
land members from interfering with
the United Church. The second suit
was instituted on behalf OF the Synod
OF Kansas OF the Presbyterian Church
in the United States and was d.
rected against the Missouri Valley
College OF Marshall. and other de-
fcndants. II was Instituted because
the Cumberland members attempted
To gain control OF the college and
opst its officers. The suit was In
siituted to enjoin the Cumberlands
from interfering with the college.
The controversy followed the union
In 1906 OF the Presbyterian Church
In the United States and the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church. A strong
minority OF the Cumberland members
opposed the union and declared the
church properties should not be de-
voted to the use OF those who con-
tlnued to adhere to the separate or
ganization and who claimed to be
the legitimate representatives OF the
Cumberland church.
In many small communities In
Missouri. after the union. when
ministers OF the United Church went
to country churches TO hold Sunday
services. they found the Cumberland
churches padlocked and committees
waiting to tell them that they could
net hold services. The United
Church officials soon tired OF these
tactics and instituted suit.
Similar suits to those involved In
Saturdays decision have been heard
in the highest courts OF twelve
states. In ten OF these courts the
United Church has been upheld.

+ LAND DRAWING

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Aug. lG.--
Nearly 1900 i60-acre farm homes
win be drawn by the "lucky ones"
as the result OF the throwing open OF
i,345.o00 acres OF land upon the FIT.
Peck Indian reservation In northeas-
tern Montana next month. This is
the last great land drawing Uncle
Sam has to offer his people and one
OF the greatest In the history OF gov
ernment land openings Ia point Of
fertility. Government agricultural
experts estimate that when this vast
stretch OF virgin soil Is titled II will
add about 25.o00.000 bushels OF
grain annually to the production Of
the United states-enopgh to feed
an entire nation.
The Interior Department is max
Ing extensive preparations to rush q
big corps OF clerks to Glasgow,
Havre and Great Falls. Mont, which
are to be the registration points.
These land offices will be open Sep
tember I next and the work of I'LL
ing for this land will then begin.
The people will have a chance to
continue filing until September 20.
The vastness OF the area opened to
white settlement Is expected to make
this one OF the most alluring land
openings ever presented to the people
inasmuch as their opportunity Of get
ting something in the drawing will
be much better than In any previous
land opening. For instance when
the Coeur D.Alene. Flathead and
spokane land drawing were held last
year a totai OF 10000 people filed
and drew for the lands In those
three Indian reservations. the total
area OF which was about one-fourth
OF the area to the opened upon the
TT. Peck reservation. Government
Officials do not think that more than
$4,000 people will file for the FIT
Peck land. Hence the chances OF
drawing a quarter section In the Ft
Peck reservation lottery" are about
four times as good al they have been
in previous government land draw
inss. The actual value OF this land
Ia said by government agricultural
experts to average about s25 an acre
However. the governments appraisal
