LIBERAL BRETHREN WIN. The liberal Party of the United Brtthrti in Christ Invested with AU the Church Property. * A church suit involving all the propert of the United Brethren in Christ in. thi and foreign countries—amounting to mil lions of dollars—was last Friday decider . by the supreme court of Indiana, affirmin ,the decision of Special Judge Bundy in the case of Milton Cain et al (liberal) vs* Charles Lamb et at, (radical ) This case is of special interest to al) churches holding its property in entirety and not by congregations. For several years the United Brethren church has been divided into two clashes known as t‘*e Lit erals and Radicals and for the better understanding of the cast these terms are given to the parties in the pleadings. The church; though organized prior to ißo>, had no Written confession of faith until 1815, and no constitution until 1537, when the general conference on its owe • motion made a new constitution whicl con'iuued as the constitution of the churcl , until 1889. The constition of 1841 made no provision for lay representation in the conference andrit provided by sec. 7 that “There shall be no connection with secret combinatipns.” I'i.e radical element of the church con str e<) 'his clause of the constitution to prohibit its members from belonging to any kind oi society having a secret password or bond of fellow-ship, and so for years in most places the Sons oi Temper ance, the Grange and Grand Army and ahrost all benevolent societies were excluded from fellowship in the church. At the general conference of 1885 a com miss‘on was appointed to amend th> constitution and to revise the confession o' lai h, so as to embody, without essentia' change, the long established faith of the church, as contained not only in the old conkssion but also of the rules of the dis* cipliWe touching doctrine. The commission met and prepared an amended consticution and a revised confession of faith as instructed by the general conference of 1885, and these were submitted to the vote of the membership in N tvember, 1888, and were adopted b; a vote oi more than 50,000 for, to less than 40,000 against them. The general conference of 1889, com —■“"gSTed of 130 delegates, adopted the amended constitution, and revised confession of faith by a vote of no yeas to 2c nays, but of that 20 nays three were declared by the committee on credentials not entitled to their seats. (The commitee though ready to report did not report until after the vote and the adoption of the i.ew constitution and confession of ■fa th ) Wherefore, in tact, there were 113 of the delegates for and only 17 opposed t tl ear. ended constitution and revised confesion of faith. A 1 ter he vote was taken of those op-po-e ! to the adoption of the amended constitution and revised confession of fa h, fi t en wnhd<ew .from the general Conference, k.eluding the :hree whom th comrnit'.e 01 cede itials hat declared not < keted. These fifteen persons went out and orgar ized in another plan what they called the general conference of tne church ot the United Brethren in Christ, elected bishops and editors of the church papers and filled the important committees oi the church and went home to take pos session of all the church property. Several trials to quiet title to real estate have been had and all have been decided in favor of the liberals.* The case now decided is the only one passed upon by a supreme court. Judge Bundy found that •‘the amended constitution and the revised confession of faith have been lawfully adopted bv the general conference of the church and by the requisite number 01 members of the church in good faith, and that they const tute the true constitutior and confessing faith of the church of th« United Brethren in Christ.” •I conclude that the law is with the plsintffs, and I find for the plaintiffs ” .(The plai '.tiffs were the liberal party.) 1 It is the decision of Judge Bundy briefly. Stated, that is to-day affirmed by th-' court of Indiana. 1 Stepped Down and Out. '' On the first day ot November John D Hale turned over to John H.

This is a beautiful city in a fine country ind a dilightful climate. The sun is very warm, the flowers are in bloom, the leaves are green, the birds are singing like spring; also the mosquitoes, but they are not very bad. There is a great amount of business done here for a city of 90,000 inhabitants. It reminds me of Chicago, in a small way, more than any othe r city I have been in. I have seqn more cqtton since J left home than I expected to see. One ware house on the East Tennessee R. R. handle nothing else but CQttOR which I think would cover five squares. Nearly all the street cars run bj electricity. I have seen the great Grady monument, and it is fine. The people here love Henry W. Grady more th?n any other man in the entire south, and revier his memory , ire m the least tn the greatest and the greatest work ofriiis Ute was- to unite the : north and sou’ti and stamp but the sectional prejudice create*! and kept ug by the p dititions qf the North The exposition is a thing yf the past, and was a success j*rane : aly a» they cleared about 1 sio. oi.
