the Rev. Mr.. Curtis's First Church is one
of the wealthiest and most influential Of
the Presbyterian churches in New Eng
land. Its loss would be a severe blow to
the denomination. Mr.. Curtis for some
time heard that there were rumors of COM
plant about the dog. salad and potatoes,
but regarded the matter as too absurd and
trivial for serious consideration. Not un-
til the vote of the Presbytery to throw him
out Of the church did the clergyman dis
cuss the matter.
"Malicious-minded women" Mr.. Curtis
calls the ladies who signed the complaints
against his conduct.
Malicious females!" he repeated.

evening we had salad with our dinner Mr..
Curtis raised his eyes to heaven and clasp
ing his hands he prayed.
40 Lord, we thank Thee for this salad,
he said fervently.
MRS. Curtis, his wife, thought 1t was
funny, but she knew 1t was improper.
"'Oh, my little love- she said to Mr.. Cur
tbs, that was naughty blessing
Then they both laughed. A queer idea
of a joke, picking out one little salad for
a blessing and not thanking God for the
rest Of my good meal.
Another time, o Lord, we thank Thee
for the fried potatoes, he said"
Mrs Porter and Mrs. Harvey compared
notes and discussed their experiences with
Rev. Mr.. Curtis Then they decided to
take the matter straight to the Presby.
terry. And the Presbytery deposed the min
lister, finding him guilty Of the Buster, the
Salad and the Fried Potatoes charges.
Under the laws of the Presbyterian
Church the authority to assign a pastor
rests with the Presbytery and the Presby-
terry does not want the Rev. Mr.. Curtis
But the congregation of the Rev. Mr. Cur
tis's church has, for the most part, been
loyal to him and feels that he has been
punished with undue severity. They in
sist that they want Mr.. Curtis as their
pastor and threats have been made to
bring the matter into the courts.
A motion has been passed giving the
vacancy and supply committee, which In
augurated the action against Mr.. Curtis

"You are familiar" he continued, with

because knew that the noise was from
a very few of my people.
81 came from England, and without
seeking any preference among them, they
received me into their hearts and desired
my ministry. But that did not prevent
me from being regarded as an usurper and
an outsider by a section of the Presbytery.
During the year Of probation incumbent
upon any minister of another denomina-
tion coming from foreign country, the
bulk of the church has, because OF its
choice of pastor, received no sympathy
from such ministers as we're appointed by
the Presbytery to exercise control over 1t.
"On the other hand they have through
out lent their support to the Insignificant
minority in the church in their efforts to
block all progress according to the rule
Of the majority. The complaint Of the
majority is that Presbyterial oversight
has been unsympathetic and autocratic,
Individual ministers attempting to force
their will upon the majority. contrary to
the peoples reason and judgment The

and supply committee, leads the fight for
the removal proponents, while William
Clark, elder for twenty years Of the First
Church of Brookline, leads the opposition
forces.
DR.. Young declares the credentials pre-
sented by Mr.. Curtis were not signed in
ink. but on typewriter, and therefore are
invalid.
Elder Daniel Marshall admits that he
has sent the ex-pastor's photograph to
England to find out II he is the man he
claims to be. And Elder Marshall swears
he has his doubts.
The feeling among some of the Rev,
Mr.. Curtis's loyal followers is bitter and
threatening. Slander suits are being dis
cussed and many unkind things are being
said about some of the members of the
congregation who signed the petition to
the Presbytery suggesting the trial and
removal of the pastor. II is said that one
OF these complainants never gave but
eighty cents to the support Of the church.
1t is also alleged that one of the promi-
nent Curtis ousters bought a desk for
$40, which he sold to the new minister on
his arrival for s50-a case OF unchristian-
l'kN nrofteer'ng thev alleged.
