THEN AND NOW IN TIVE CHURCH.

The elders of Presbyterian church
recently called the congregation to-
gether to pass on charges made by the
board against the minister. The elders
demanded his resignation because:
He conducted prayer meetings with
out an opening prayer.
He does not prepare his sermons be-
fore going into the pulpit.
He does not adhere to the bible.
Attendance at service has fallen of!
He has been lax In the matter Of dis
cipline regarding amusement.
He has paid too much attention TO
the social side OF the church and not
enough to the spiritual.
1t has been charged that persons
have not been helped by his sermons
However the congregation not only
refused to vote Tor the pastors
resignation but unanimously voted a
resolution to increase his salary $3.50
year. Then the elders resigned.
Whatever the charges against the
preacher the congregation seems tc
think he's about the kind Of preacher
it likes and proposes to keep. It may
be that he might better have opened
