A number of the citizens '
Lodi are attending court as wit-
ncsses or interested spcctators
in the church trial that has gained -
ed some notoriety from formcr
trials had at Callaway , an appeal
heiug tal < cn to the district court.
We noticc a large llUmber of thc
witnesscs are young Ipeople. It
appears from the statemcnt madc
, by tle , lawyers in the opcning of
le case that a Young People's
Organization of thc Christian
Endem'or had bcen holding their
meetings in t he J yangelical
, church and during the time hcld
socials by which a fund was
created. After purchasing song
hooks and a Bible for the use of
the congregation thc trustees
agreed with the Young Pcoples
Society to aid in certain repairs
ot the church. 'l'he ofi cers of
the church and the society did
not agree upon the kind of im-
provemcnts to be made and nothing -
ing was donc. 'l'he result of the
controversity the Young People
Christian Endeavor Society
changed place of meeting
to another church. The church
then procecded to organizc a
Keystone League to be govern d
by.the rules of the church and
demanded that the treasurer of
Young Peoples Society that had
formerly held its meetings in
their building turn the funds
over to th Keystone League.
'l'his the treasurer refused to do
and suit was brought to compcll
him to do it. The olel society
which holds the funds is said to
bc in a prospcrous condition with
50 or ( JO members , while the Keystone -
stone League has very few.
'l'he prosecutors are men of
mature years and it is surprising
that tIley would let their prejudice -
dice carry them so far from thc
teachings of the Bible , which
thcy are presumed to take for
their guide as to go to law ovcr
so small a matter.
'rhc young People , whether
they were justified in thcircourse
in changing their place of worship -
ship or not can not he censured
for defcnding their property interests -
terests since the suit has been
forced upon them b ) ' their seniors
in years. It would have been
cheaper for both parties in in.
trest to have thrown the money
in the fire. 'l'he cost has alreadv
exceeded a hundrcd dollats : h .
Y sidcs attorneys fees and the euc ]
is not ) 'et.
Whether the church instituting
e I the suit gets the mone ) ' or noi
it will bc looser as the effect will
.
-
continuc to exert its influence
against the spiritual progrcss 01
thc church throughout the pre.
