The Week in Religion
Lawsuits Involving Churches

particular religious organization to
which they belong.
Removed by Vestry.
1.-THE clergy presenting this mo-
ton seek an opportunity to defend
all religious beliefs from the inva-
sion of civil authority, and, speci-
fically, to establish the principle
that in matters affecting the af-
fairs of a religious organization
the state may not either directly
or indirectly provide rules or
penalties where the religious or
ganization has provided it's own
rules for the management of it's
affairs and the solution of con-
troversies within its organization.
and its own penalties for a breach
thereof"
DR.. Melish was removed from
his post at the request of vestry-
men of Holy Trinity Parish who
objected to the rector's approval
and support of the outside acti-
vities" of his son and associate,
the Rev. William Howard Melish.
The younger Melish was at that
time chairman of the National
Council of American Soviet
Friendship.
Should the Supreme Court re-
view the case of DR.. Melish, it's
findings probably will also affect
another important case involving
the right of civil court to decide
internal church matters.
The case in question arose from
the action of the Supreme Court
in Brooklyn, N. Y, blocking a
merger between the Congrega-
tional Christian Churches and the
Evangelical and Reformed Church
on the ground, among others, that
the Congregational General Coun-
Gil had no right to make commit
ments binding upon the Congre-
gational Churches.
Refers to Merger Case.
In an announcement last Oc-
tober of his intention to carry his
case to the Supreme Court, DR..
Melish referred to the merger case
as another in which a civil court
had imposed an Injunction "in a
specifically ecclesiastical dispute"
"In both these instances" DR..
Melish said, ''the civil court ig-
nored the authority of the exist
inc ace1ocio cfjool oroore of tI,~
UNCONVENTIONAL bodies involved.
Instead, it substituted decisions Of
the civil court that affect prac-
tees of the National Church bod
les of the two great Christian
communions."
1t is believed that leaders Of
the Congregational Christian
Churches will await the outcome
of the Melish appeal before I'M
dertaking their own appeal pro-
ceedings.
Meanwhile, the courts also are
ruling on cases involving the
question of religious liberty. The
Supreme Court recently ruled on
two such cases.
In one ruling the court de-
clared unconstitutional New
York City ordinance requiring a
police permit to hold religious
meetings in park or other pub
lie place. The second ruling held
that the city council of Havre
de Grace, Md, acted Illegally in
refusing two members of the
Jehovah's Witnesses sect the use
of a public park for a meeting.

with his standard announcement,

ished every game in three hours
and five minutes. Three local
players managed to secure draws
against him, but the other 81
went down in defeat, some a very
few minutes after the beginning
of play. Sam Schwartz defend
ed very strongly, and at one con-
juncture missed an ingenious
combination which would have
given him the whole point instead
of half of it. Karl A. Baer and
Martin c. Stark were, the other
District experts who withstood

He lost to the District champion,

the rest of the field with great

by winning the B section, TO.
There was no round in the
divan championship tourney last
weekend, but Florence M. Cam
pomanes finished two of his ad-
journed games. He could not
salvage a bad position against
Hugh c. Underwood, but won an
ending from Edmund Nash in
which he started pawn down.
This brought his score to SIS.
The Naval Gun Factory forti-
fled three points to the Divan's
B team in their District League
match on January "a. This was
too great handicap, even though
they scored 4-3 on the boards
actually contested. Sam Schwartz.
the N. G. F. ace, won on first
board from Fred M. Dubois. For
feits have been so common in
league motches lately as to sug-
gest the desirability of reducing
the minimum number of boards
from 10 to eight.
