In a difference of opinion upon doctrinal points. Dr. Jackson la pns'or of the Fountain Street Haptlst church ami has boon for tlio last four yearn. Ho came from tlio vnti, Is polished, eloquent and popular, and In his views takes advanced ground, holding that man cannot ho saved by faith alone, but that fnlth Hhall bo backed and nub.slantlatod by works. Ills church Is thn largest In tho city, one of the moat fashlonabk', and tho wealthiest, ami the litigation, while It has naught of tho scandalous In Its make-up, will not lack In Interest, and will not fall to draw a crowd If It Khali ever como to trial.

Mulhern, ono of tho oldest clergymen of tho Haptlst faith In tho state a gonial, gentle, kindly old man, on tho Hupornnuntcd list, somewhat reduced In finances, but rich In the esteem and friendship of a wide Haptlst circle. Miss Mulhern Is nbout !50 years old, probably on tho shady side of tho half century mark. Her temper Is not tho sweetest, from all accounts, and It la Bald nho Is Homewhat "sot," In her waya nnd dogmatic In her opinions. Slio cannot bo accused of having an un due allowance of personal charms and It cannot be said sho is popular, but tho kindly Interest felt for her good father found employment for her to do tho local missionary work for tho Foun tain Street church. Sho was tlrat paid by subscription, prominent members of the church chipping In to make up tho necessary amount, and while her work was missionary in Its nature her posi tion, some say self-named, was th.it of "assistant pastor." Sho was em ployed originally under Hev. Dr. Kerr 1. Tapper and ho bequeathed hor to Dr. Jackson. The method of support ing her by subscription continued until two years ngo and then the church trustees wero Induced to put her uumu In Jio budget and for a year her salary was paid by tho church. A year ago tho trustees decided that her services could bo dispensed with and sho was dropped, and not until after tho action had been taken did Dr. Jackson know of it. Tho relations between tho pastor and tils assistant hud not been harmonious from the beginning. Iiroitght up under her father's pulpit, a disciple or tho old school Haptlst, Miss .Mulhern was of tho hard-shell variety, while Dr. Jack son with his modern Ideas and liber ality, might bo described as a "noft Bhcll."

She remonstrated with him nnd argued nnd protested, thou, as tho story rocs, lost hor temper. She be gan "hackcapplng" tho pastor among tho people and endeavored to Injure him by Insinuation and Innuendo, When flho was dropped from tho pay roll sho blamod Dr. Jackson for It, nnd a few wcekB later, at a church meet ing, arose In hor seat nnd charged him with it, and thereby created 11 sousa Hon.

ISocotnlns weary at tut of dancing attendance oa the accuser, the commit tee reported tho charge to be without foundation and recommended that Mlsu Mulhern b" dropped from the member ship roll of the church.
