ST. STEPHENS CHURCH

The following are the official
minutes of st. Stephens Church
meetings held in May, 1910:
1.-THE arrival of Bishop E. A.
Roberts in Key West on May
18th. for the purpose of settling
the dissatisfaction in regards to
the way the church was OPP
Grated. On Sunday, May IL, reg
ular services were held.
"On Monday night, May Is, the
first session convened. The first
session was a session of contempt
shown to the officers and mem
bers of the church. No one knew
anything save Bishop Roberts
and Miss Arimentha Nicely. The
balance were not considered. The
two changes he said carried no
weight. He was asked to have a
hearing of the members but it
was also denied. We came out of
the first session far worse than
before.
"On Tuesday, May. IA, the
second session was far worse
than the first, so that out of Al
members. "a decided that they
would quit the church rather
than have such contempt shown
towards them.
1.-The question was asked
among the four trustees what
shall we do?' So, it was decided
by the "a in majority, to come
out from Bishop Roberts diocese
in order to save the church. On
Sunday night, May 10. it was an
nounced from the pulpit that on
Tuesday that all members must
be out in order to make a gen.
eral decision. 1t was ignored by
some of the members, and the
preacher in charge did not ap-
pear so the chair was occupied
by the secretary.
''The treasurer at the same
time made motion seconded by
Brother Pinder that st. Stephens
withdraw from Bishop Roberts
diocese. The motion was arrested
by Miss Nicely, which was IL
legal. The motion was placed to
the members which came out, 10
voting to leave the diocese and
two to stay.
Signed, ELKANAH SANDS,
Clerk"
''P. S. Please note that this
group has financed this church
since May nth"

Britain Orders Slash
In Whisky Output
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb 29-Food Minister
w. S. Morrison announced yesterday
that Britain's whisky production
must be cut to one-tfird of the 1899
output because of the shortage of
grain for livestock.
Similarly he said, consumption of
sugar by breweries must be reduced
80 per cent.
The restriction of whisky produc-
tion was said in informed quarters
to be unlikely to affect the price or
supply of whisky for several years.
Breweries will be permitted to con-
tinue production at last years level
in spite of the smaller supply of
sugar.
