Sevctal jrars ago Hev E. W. Allen came here ns a joung man. endowed dewed with a large share of personal magne tism and personal aggresslvcntcs , and used his powers to the fullest In building up the church. He succeeded admirably , and within a year had ono of the largest congregations In the city. Dissensions arose , however , that crippled his ministry to such an extent that all teallzcd that It waa host for the general good for him to relinquish bin charge. Ho did BO , but not before a great deal of personal feeling was awakened among the members , and two factions with active partisan leaders wcro created Subsequent pastors have not been altogether able to cover all of these bit ternesses with the cloak of Christian char ity , and the factions have had more or less trouble with each other and always Involving the church. The prcecnt minister , Hcv. E W. Cole , Is a voting man onlj 23 yean old , and when he came here less than four months ago ho had not had enough experience In the management of church factions to be able to control the lively ono he found here in n good recuperative state of health. After the regular church -.crvlces on Sunday a btislncoj , meeting was called , and a set of resolutions presented by the official board , which the congregation was asked to vote upon The renolutlona declared' Whereas , A numncr of the members of this congregation have become dlssuisfled with our present pastor , E vCole , to the extent that they have vv Until iivvn Ihelr suppoit from thu church , thereby itinl.'iip I- Impossible to raise the necessity funds for the expenses of the church and to carry out the work In a harmonious in inner , nnd Whereas , Ilrothcr Cole appeal * to have taken the stand ) of a p-irtls.iu in the ex'st- ' Ing ti cubic of the church ; and When us The olllclal board has been petitioned In writing by a number of the members of the church to request the resig nation of ttrotber Cole ns pastor , tbeicfore , Itcsolved , Thnt for the best Interests of the chun li , llrother E W. Cole Is hereby lequcsted by the otllclal bo trd to tinder his resignation us p.istor of this church In consideration of which ho Is to receive all back pay to date , together with thirty dnjs' pay from May 2 , 1607 , Drothcr Cole to be relieved from bis duties us pistor after May 2 , Ii37. A majorltj of the congregitlon voted to sustain the icsolutlons , when It was explained that the joung minister approved them with the understanding that he was to receive , In addltlo.i to the month' J salary l advance , a sum of back pay amounting to $11950 Dur ing the course of the debate considerable strong feeling was aroused on both sides , and an amendment waa offered to the resolutions deelailng that the congregation sustain the minister. This passed by a vote of about nttj to thirty , and the partisans on the other side , emboldened by their success , proposed another icaolutlon calling upon the official board to resign. Before this could be voted upon nttentloi was called to the constitu tional provision requiring the congregation to give the board two week's notice before call- lug for the resignation of the members Ono condition of the joung pastor's resig nation was that the back pay was to be placed In his hands by 6 o'clock last evening The board was unable to moot this part of the obligation , and the pastor's assent to the resignation was consequently withdrawn. This leaves the conditions very favorable for a continuation of the unpleasantness. The pastor feels that It Is his duty to remain and vindicate himself and the olllclal board and ai largo number ot the prominent members are I convinced that the wisest policy Is to remove every disturbing element , even If It Is neces sary to sacrifice the young preacher. A busi ness meeting has been called for Thursday evening , at which It Is hoped the trouble may be settled. Fresco designs furnished. IS No. Main et. OK THE CITY cou\cii > . J. M.

During the debate some very chilly re marks were made on both sides The Coal & Ice compcny was declared to be an Omaha corporation and that the Ice was cut on the Omaha reservoirs. The Inst part of the charge was admitted to bo true , but the manager for the company explained that It was necessary to use Omaha Ice In the bids because the council had called for bids on reservoir Ice and Gilbert llrothcrs controlled this output In this city.
