The tumult in the church was to all intents and purposes settled last Saturday in court. when Judge Ne- hemiah Candee lifted the injunction Earris' dcacons had obtained against his pulpit services. but . peace was not declared. The story of the Wednesday fra- ‘ was, gradually developed by its par- ticipants. is that the Rev. James , Norwood. who has been the rebel leader. led his handful of colleagues. about 20 in number. into the meet- ing deliberately planning to wreck it by force. only a few days before the same group had tried to break up a session but that time by set- ting up an opposition service. the ,detaiis of which are told below.

Harris admits. Norwood de- clares a monthly business meeting should be held every month. llarrls sees the Justice in this but says ac- .' cording to precedent established by «omel- pastors the business meeting was held evcly three months. It follows. Air. Harris declares. that when he failed to call the monthly meeting as often as Nor- wood desires; the latter looked about for a handle to his weapon of van- geance and seized upon the sugges- tion of moral turpitude. * .
