Members of the Mt. Moriah Baptist
church. colored. decided Friday night
by a vote of II to 81 to declare the
pulpit of the church vacant, according
to an announcement Saturday by Miss
Agatha Saulter, 1914 Sheridan street,
secretary of the board of deacons of
the church.
Miss Saulter, as secretary of the
board. Saturday submitted the follow
ing statement:
"That the public may know the
facts as TO the disturbances at the Mt.
Moriah Baptist church, the board of
deacons held meeting for the pur-
pose of giving out the true facts. This
statement is made by the deacons and
trustees. The congregation of the Mt.
Moriah church has voted to dismiss
the pastor Rev. C.. c. Coins, and he
refuses to give up his place.
ALBERT Conrad is chairman of the
board of deacons and is one of the
aged and respected citizens of Rich
mond He has spent his whole life in

William Arnold, Thomas Doty. John
Gates, and Andrew Walker are re-
spected colored citizens.
st is the wish of majority of the
members, as expressed by their vote,
that the pastor discontinue his serv-
ices
The congregation has suffered In
justice by being refused vote at the
regular church meetings. The pastor
has insisted on presiding over meet
ings and has refused to entertain any
motion to declare the pulpit vacant.
"In the present trouble meeting
was called to declare the pulpit va
c2rt with the result that the pastor
ordered the congregation from the
church whereupon the members were
forced to appoint a secretary and con
duct the voting with the result that
II voted to declare the pulpit vacant
and 81 voted to hold the pastor.
THE signature of each voter has
been recorded and legal papers are in
preparation for presentation to Judge
William A. Bond to restrain the pas
tor from forcing his pastorate upon an
unwilling congregation.
The trouble began two years age
when an investigation was conducted
after reports of improper conduct anc
the report of the deacons' board rec
commended the resignation of the pas
tor. A copy OF the recommendation
was sent TO him. The church ap
proved the action of the deacons ask
ing for Rev. Coins resignation, hence
the petition filed in circuit court yes
terday for a restraining order.

Mr.. Wishart OF Barre, who had not
been present when the bill passed in
