By thifed Press


MOUNT CARROLL, H.. Nov. IS.
Members of a tiny rural church
today came to the defense Of their
youthful pastor. charged by fun
damentalists with teaching that
miracles are myths and that bap-

Sixty members of the church sided
with their pastor in refusing to
bar admission to prospective parish
toner's who do not maintain absolute
belief in Christ's miracles and bap-
tism by immersion.
Limps to Witness Stand
Claims of the petitioners We're
typif1ed by testimony of William
Hawks, 10, who limped to the wit

and characterized Todd as that

Changes listed by Ames in the

ed the use of music and vested

churches now admit members with
out baptism by immersion.
He pointed out the First Christian
Church of Thompson and other
churches Of the denomination are

than the New Testament and de-
clared majority rule OF the congre-

Start of Controversy
The controversy started last June
when the youthful pastor, backed
by three trustees. admitted four
persons to membership without
baptism by immersion. Later in a
church bulletin, he said:
acceptance of the new policy on
baptism does not mean We will

we will be lenient, tolerant iowa I'd
