The following is the title OF a
new suit filed: 'In the matter of ap-
plication for authority to sell real
estate, by the trustees of the First
Baptist church of McConnelsville,
TO-, corporation" The petition
was filed by j. B. Robinson, d. G..
/ Ralston and NJ L. Ralph, which Pc
tition states that they are the duly
and legally selected and acting trus-
tees of the church. These petitioners
represent that at business meeting
duly held by said Baptist church on
Dec 13, 1921, it was decided by
members and officers of said church,
by resolution duly adopted that the
church property be decided to The
Ohio Baptist Convention, the reason

ises had ceased to be used for the
holding of religious services, and

! Convention had become entitled to
have the title to said property con-
veyed to it. Whereupon the petit
oners pray for authority to transfer
by deed, title to said real estate to the
said Ohio Baptist Convention, or if
that cannot be done, for authority
! to sell said real estate as provided
by statute in such cases, and further
pray such other relief in the premi-
ses as may be necessary or proper.
