Civtwn. hid 110 orgauitittion before.
Let us now lo.k at some of the ditacul- The ,.8eu, of ,he jIMjge, decinion, if it
ties in the case : bd bwn given belore Rev. Sherrard hid
1. Presbytery hss no riaM t. divide con- regjgned. an-t while he yet .icenpied the old
jrv;s?ion without iheir consent. The con- ! church, would bare been to stop his preacb
greeili..uin this c-e did t.ot give jng ii, the ct.ureh, ard I suppie. leeajlv,

trj ra void as a division, bat iuaj be valid
, x eparite org.tr.nirii.n. j
Thit tbe c..rgre;:ation at Mitflintoan j
arid the congr-gsiu u at Lot Creek, although I
componirig one and the sa uie church, (the , Cel Sprj, Church, ditiitd iroiu the Lost
Cedr Spring Church.) were separate and Crwk brilI,cbj by act f pvtery, the de
distitct congregatiuns already, and could ! cUlon f the court ; hl. ,hem- tter
not be divided as such. The power con
lerred upjn Presbytery to divide congrega
tions bat reference to united congregations,
worshipping in the same place. It would
be too much to ssy that congregations in
tiiii case meant churches.
t. That tutse two separate congregations
compose! oue snd the same church and was
chartered ss such by the name of tbe Cedar
irpring Church ; aud by that charter each
hsd certain cpecided duties to perform to
Itself and to the other, over which Presby
tery bad no control. Presbytery cannot an
na! or repeal civil law, nor even alter It.
Those duties were nit imposed upon them
by tbe cburch organization, nor by Presby
tery, but by the charier grained theui at
tlieir oc request. While that charter re
nuint in force, any (ven two or three) ad
hering to it, can require its fulfillment. This
loet not deprive any or all from going out,
bjt in going out, they leave the charter and
all its benefits or advantages behind.
4. The positions taken by Lost Creek are
entirely .untamed by the court, unless this
be an exception, tbe legal organization of
tbe chnrch worshipping in the chap A. This
niay be saved by the clause in the organi
zation (or divmion) which declares that it
is not to interfere with the rrghts of prop
erty. That is, it is to be an organization or
a divition, as circumstances may require.
This is really the best interpretation we can
put upon it. It was certainly a blunder in
Presbytery (or its committee) to divide,
ben they were snuply asked and sent to
orgimze.
6. There is another difficulty in the way.
The Cedar Spring Church had its existence
belore the charter was granted, and was
chartered as such. It is uot in the power
of Presbytery to destroy it as a chartered
church. Tbey may disown it ; they may
drop in name from their book or their rec:
ord, but it still will exist as a legal corpo
ration, with the right "to sue aud be sued."
Now, as judgment has been obtained
against the church now worshipping in the
chapel, it follows that the Cedar Spring
Church can by law recover rent for their
property while nsed by the church now wor
shipping in the chapel. The legal right to
sll the property belonging to the Cedar
Spring Chnrch, at the time of what is called
the division, adheres to those who are now
hat remains of the Cedar Spring Cburch.
This will be trno whether you go to tbe
chapel, or the chapel comes to you.
Sow let toe speak plainly. Naboth'i
vineyard is too convenient sometimes. This
whole dsScnlty cornea through covetous
aess. Tbe chnrch worshipping in thechapi-1
cnr.civd tucy tad the ri,:ht to the bouse
at liifiiintown. They may have bad the
moral right if this b possible where there
is no legal right ; but ihst is doubtful. To
prevent sny future difficulty, let the matter
he settled with Lost Creole, or what remains
of the Cedar Spring Church. It will not he
enough to let them take the old cfcrrrch.
They have a Zip claim for tbe use of that
chnrch, which, if they should push, would
he a greater evil than the suit just passed.
I do hope that all concerned will be dis
posed to do right, and follow the things that
make for peace. I know you are ready to
set. It is honorable, it is glorious to for
give, and to be superior to little things.
May God give all parties wisdom and grace
to do right.
Tours with great esteem and respect.

RoeoraOB, April 16, 128 1.
Din BaoTBtB : Tours ot the 11th in St.
w received on last evening. Ton ask per
mission to publish my letter of the 11th!
!, f you, obrvlng, you think it wffl do
good. Too hava my fall permisstoa to pub
lish list and this also.' I live for Jena and
hia people.
Ton say you I ally concur in all I say, ex
cept ai to the organisation of the chapel
cbnrrti. . t don't think we differ ao much
here. I have probably nsed language a UU
tie ambiguous, not to conceal iriy thoughts,
but to express them, the thing itself was
cmsignoas. The Huntingdon Presbytery
did divide the congregations of Mifflintown
and Lost Creek, and they did not divide
them. That may seem contradiction.
They did Wot divide them, for thecivil court
aays, in effect, an ecclesiastical court baa
no power to divide a corporation joined to
gether by civil law. If they bad power to
divide the congregations, they bad power
to divide the property. If they bad power
to divide the congregations, they had power
to say you and the many who agree with
you shall go with the chapel branch ; that is,
they bad power to deprive you of your
chartered rights without your consent,
which is contrary to common sense, as well
aa common law, and the court baa set aside
their act, ao far at least aa it interferes with
the congregations of Mifflintown and Lost
Creek who adhere to,' and claim the protec
tion of their charter.
And yet they did ditidt. Presbytery aays
so Synod says so ; the General Assembly
says so ; and you can go to no higher eccle
siastical court to hve thit decUidb revers
ed. It is now the law ol the church. The
decision of the civil court set aside the ac
tion of Presbytery, Synod and General As
sembly so far as it interfered with the char
tered rights of the people of Mifflintown
! snd Lost Creek who claim the protection of
toe charter. It ia a verr treat Ditv that
p.uk.i j .v...: ... i .
forMkin(t the jginj piln of organiajng m
new cnupch in Mifflintown. All the wrong
of the cnarw branch was in trying to take
the property of the corporation wiib them
when they went out of it.
The question whether those worshipping
in the chapel have a regular organization
will depend on the opinion as to what con
stitutes an organization. Taking the action
of the two courts, the civil and the ecclesi
astical, together, all of the ecclesiastical
action not aet aside by the civil, remains
h ive irever bf n orgauiied regularly into a
chsrch, but Presbytery has recognised them
as a church. Elders have been elected and
et ei,tirely the actton ! Pre.byterv ; j
bn, M ,Iley hav Mt ,bt! cburch, and have j
r,jr tirn). bn wrhippii.g in a chapel
of tbt,ir ow w.,t ther rjreanjsUuc-, not !
necessary to mention, it mav well be asked.
Dut.t tbl, aH the case , ' lr they now
caim to be the Mifflintown branch of the
have no existence aa a church, separate
from Lost Creek and her friends In Mifflin
town, anil the very chapel they have built is
a part of the property of Cedar Spring
Cburch.
If, on the other hand, we consider tbe act
of Presbytery, not as a division, which was
set aside by the court, but as equivalent to
a separate organization, they now acquies
ing in tbe decision of court and relinquish
ing all claim to any property of tbe Cedir
Spring Church, can you deny their right to
exist as a cburch, and to control their own
funds, at least those accumulating since the
decision of the court.
If Presbytery should accept the decision
nf the court in its broadeat sense, as set
ting aside their act, then the chapel people
are just where they were before the divi
sion, and all the acts of that cburch are
void. Their election and ordination of el
ders, ard tbe calling of the lortner and the
present pastors are null. It is painful to
think of the evils and litigations that might
spring out of tbe present state of things.
Ali that I have said of the probabilities that
might arise, are intended as a reason why
tbnre should be a reconciliation and a com
promise. 1 do bepe tbe cbapel cburch will
be as ready to neet you, as you are to meet
them. One wrong step leads to another.
Witness tbe evil that bas proceeded from
the "rfirutoa."
With regard to tbe criticism on the Judge's
opinion and decree, they are uncalled-for
and unjust. It is very silly to think, not to
say, that bis Honor endeavors to conceal
bis thoughts ty bis wards; or that be doea
not have clear thoughts aud express them
clearly.
I do hope the cbapel cburch will lake such
a course aa w ill lorever put it out of the
power of any one, whether member of tbe
corporation or not, to bring s civil action
against them.
There is one thing more I would like to call
tlieir attention to. Let them not do any
thing to make the position of their present
excellent pastor unpleaaant, or to injure bis
efficiency.
To all I would ssy, Jesus is one ; His peo
ple are one in him. We are members of
bis body, and members one of anoibur. If
one meit'ber suffers, the whole body suffers
with it. Be kindly aflectioned oue toward
auother, in brotherly love, ia honor prefer
ring one another.
Yours, in our common Lord.

the appearance of having been suffocated.

A man, while driving a cow through one

bill of damage, which was right. A man
bas no right to trespass and damage men's
property in town. But now turn tbe case
around. How often does it occur that town
people turn out their stock to wander out
to trespass upon farmers, and when they
are spoken to in regard to tbe matter tbey
t'trn and display their own bad Character by
hurling villainoi's language at tbe man who
baa only spoken in favor of protecting wbat
is his own. Again, bow often doea it occur
that people from town, when they go abroad,
do not stay iu tbe road, whicb ia made for
all men to travel on, but become trespas
sers on the farms, throw down fences, break
falls, tramp down tbe grass and young crops,
and when spoken to in regard to the tres
pass, reply by abusing the people on whose
property they trespass. Tbe farmers should
treat tbe town people as tbe farmers are
treated by. the town people when their
rights ire trespassed on.

tbe Did Testament bas not yet been com
pleted. Tbe work of the reviaion of tbe
Kew Testament bas been completed. John
Horning, of this irarough, i agedl for "The
Student's Revised New Testament, bein
the Anglo-American Revision, completely
reprinted and exhaustively compared with
King James's version." The Testament
that Mr. Horning is agent for, is not only
a publication of tho revi&ed work, but it
contains a foot-note on every page, wherein
is published the words that have been
changed. The reader and t Indent of the
Divine Word can ibervby see what word
changes hare been made. When Mr. Horn
ing Calls witb the prospectus' of the book,
tbe value of such a publication will be seen
at a glance. Rev. Oeorge Benangh, Pastor
cf the Presbyterian church at this place,
aays of it : " Having examined tbe Pros
pectus of the proposed edition of the Re
vised Version of the New Testament Scrip
tures, I heartily endorse it, and would co:u
RieurT it to every student of tbe Bible.
Evbry one will be anxious to see the changes
thai have been made. This book proposes
to give a :03pi"te and corrxct reprint of
the Revised Version, together with all the
changes whicb have been made. Tbere
ought to be a copy of it in every family."
