ALL WITH
THE PASTOR
Test of Declaration in the Evan
gelical Church Yesterday.
A FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE !
Rev. Llchtenwalner Declares This Is the
Position of Evangelicals Oproscd to
Government by the Bowraanites.
The services In the Evangelical ohuroli,
on West Cherry street, yesterday, were of
more than tho ordinary character. The
meetings were something akin to revivals.
Tho worshipers seemed to hnve special
Inspiration and tnero was a distinct spirit
of sadness among ninny of them which is
only observed when something extraor
dinary hnB occurred, or Is about to occur.
Tho decision of the Supreme Court
granting to tho Bowmnnite faction of tho
Evangelical Association all tho church
property was referred to by tho pastor,
Rev. Llchtenwalner, whoso voice trembled
with emotion at times. At tho morning
service a test of sentiment was mado and
there was a unanimous declaration that
If tho pastor should bo compelled to va
cate the church under the decision, the
congregation would accompany him. A
test was also made in the Sunday school
yesterday afternoon with similar result.
Last evening the church was crowded,
the members evidently turning outstroug
becauso they had reason to believe that,
as antl-Bowinanltes, it would be the last
Sunday evening ou which they could hold
service in tho church, the trustees hnvlng
been notified that the Bowmanites would
In all probability claim the church prop
erty during this week. Some of the
members ore Inclined to make a stand for
the property until the last legal resort in
this county can be exhausted, but others,
with the trustees and pastor, are not In
cllned to hold out after notice to quit the
church is legally served any longer than
necessary to secure a place of worship.
During the service last night repeated
reference was mado In the prayers and
sermon to the unsettled condition of the
church's affairs. Rev. Llchtenwalner
read the lesson from the XLVI Psalm
"God Is our refuge aud strength, an ever
present help In trouble, x x x Tho Lord
of hosts Is with us, the God of Jacob Is
our refuge." The text for the sermon was
taken fiom Ephestans III, 14 10: "For this
cause I bow my knees unto the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ."
Upon the conclusion of his sermon Rev.
Llchtenwalner stated that he wished to
m'ake a few remarks regarding the effect
of tho Supremo Court decision on tho
church. He said that while the Bow
manltes were right In law they were
morally wrong. In reference to tho
manifests published In yesterday's Phila
delphia Press, the pastor criticised Bishop
Bowman and other signers lor pntrolnz
lng Sunday newspapers. As to the Invi
tation for all churches to enrol themselves
under the Bowmanlte banner, Rev,
Llchtenwalner said that could not be
done without a sacrlilce of principle. The
pastor then asked for an expression of
sentiment. Tho congregation arose in
the pews In a body and It was announced
that the decision was unanimous to stand
by the pastor.
Tho organ of the church was removed
last week by trustees of the church who
are. personally responsible for some in
debtedness and aro holding tho Instru
ment as security. The singing during
tho services were therefore without ac
companiment yesterday. In case the
congregation is obliged to quit the church
arrangements will bo made to hire a hall
until arrangements can be made for the
purchase of the old edifice from the
Bowmanites, or the erection of n new one.
A member of the congregation said to a
HERALD reporter last night : "The facts
with reference to the status of the contro
versy in the Evangelical Association, as It
effects the Shenandoah congregation, are
clear. The congregation never has ac
cepted the interpretation of the discipline
as given by Bishops Esber and Bowman
They hMve never signified their willing
ness tonblde by the tyrantcal measures of
the 'majority' In the present struggle.
They have always believed that Bishops
Esher and Bowman were legally tried and
suspended from office, and hence they
could not -and would not receive the
preachers appointed by them to All the
Shenandoah pulpit. They now stand by
their former declarations and resolutions.
To do otherwise would mean little less
than the sacrifice of manhood, saying
nothing of religious convictions. They
believe the time has come when every
lover of religious freedom among them
onght 10 assert his rights to think and to
act according to his own convictions.
Tho congregation, therefore, with, tho
exception of, possibly, half a dozen
members, are willing and determined to
stand by the principles of the fathers of
tho church, property or no property.
Principle la intlnately higher and more
valuable than property. No one can see
the justice in the proceedings which will
wrest the property from about 150 mem
bers In good standing and place It In the
hands of six. Tho Supreme Court decision
affects the Reading Sixth street church
alone. Other churches, nnd the Shenan
doah among them, can only be gotten by
due process of law. Every one of the
one hundred and fifty Is willing nnd
determined to nbido by the law hs any
good oltizen would nnd as every truo
christian does. They will, therefore,
proceed to worship Gndnsheretoforeuutll
compelled by law to vacate the church.
When that time comes the congregation
will be found Intact nnd reuriv to show In
not how much faith they have In God.
Tho congregation l encouraged by
the f hoc that public sentiment has
always been with the 'minority'
In this unhappy struggle. They
will build if need be. ITow they will
build is not decided. Where they will
build Is not yet known, these are mat
ters which the thouithtful nnd careful
business men of the ofllctul board will de
cide. We have utmost confidence In the
official board, whoso united aud heroic
actions should, nnd will, find universal
approval and support. United notion Is
necessary. They hope for the continua
tion of the respect nnd sympathy of the
other churches aud of the community In
general. The future they will leave lu tho
hands of a Just providence "

HE BATTLED
WITH THREE
Walter Czryko Successfully Pighls
With Three Highwaymen.
THEY WERE GLAD TO SKIP
The Victim Was Followed From Ring-
town and Attacked Hear the Ceme
teriesRobbery the Motive.
Walter Czryko, a Polish resident of the
First ward, was a victim of a felonious
nttaok on the highway while walking
from Hlngtown to this place, last night,
but by making n hard fight he eventually
succeeded In turning tho tables on the
highwaymen nnd putting them to flight.
Czryko Is n heavy built man with con
siderable muscular development and has
had somo experience In "scraps" through
his connection with tho special police
force of town.
Ho says he spent yesterday visiting
friends nt Rlngtown. On tho way home
he Btopped at a hotel and while thero had
a ten-dollar hill chnuged. Three young
men whom he recognized as residents of
Shenandoah, but of whoso names nnd
exact residences he is in Ignorance, were
In the place at the tlmo and eyed him
closely as he received his change.
Czryko again took 'up his homeward
journey. After ascending the mountain
road for some dlstnnce he looked back aud
saw he was being followed by thotbi-ee
young men ho had seen In the hotel. As
they wero some distance to the rear ho
pnld no particular attention to them. The
followers gradually gained on tho lonely
traveler and when near the Polish ceme
tery they pounced upon him. Czryko was
knocked to tho ground by a blow on the
head from a heavy club. He was momen
tarily dazed, but quickly recovered him
self and, In spito of repeated blows and
kicks, succeeded in regaining his feet. Ho
made a desperate fight and fired pieces of
rock with such precision that the assail
ants were glad to beat a retreat. Czryko
sustained a severo beating, but he saved
his money nnd Is not dangerously Injured.
No arrests have been made.

account of Festy Toole, of Win. Penn, be
ing nrrested for refusing to pay his fare
on one of tho Schuvlklll Traction Com
pany's cars and charging tho conductor,
Michael Gallagher, with knocking down

nbout concerning the charge. He says
when Gallagher came tn collect fares he
dlil not persist nut pant tils tare as a
model passenger should. He and Galla
gher have been the ben. of friends nnd on
the strength of their existing friendship
accused Gallagher iu a f -lendly manner
of knocking down fares, whereupon
Gallagher had him taken before 'Squire
Green, of Wm. Penn. where both parties
agreed to an amicable settlement. Mr.
Toole hns always borne an excellent repu
tatlou as a law-abiding citizen in that
community.
