The First Christian church of Salem is divided into two factions, led, respectively, by Rev. Davis Errett, the pastor, and Rev. B. C. Black, and may result in Mr. Black being called to the pas torate. Yesterday the pastor's op ponents prepared written accusations charging Mr. Errett with Increasing the membership of the official board in order to retain his position, after lielng voted out. He Is also accused of charging Mrs. Silas Rlggg with appropriating church funds to her own use. The charge follows: "Whereas, Rev. Davis Errett has conducted himself In a manner un becoming a minister of the gospel, and has said and done things that not only marked him as lacking in many of the principles of a man, but has done the Church of Christ and the cause of Christ in Snlem untold injury, we, the undersigned think it our duty to notify the board on ministerial standing, that you may investigate the facts in the case, and administer justice as you may find that the facts warrant. "Rev.-Davis Errett has been guilty of harmful tattling and gossip among the brethren, in peddling stories and reoorts about, that have had the di rect effect of hurting the character of members of the church, and he has not only lowered his dignity as a preacher of the gospel, but has in jured the cause of Christ. "Rev. Davis Errett has, instead of preaching the gospel, used the holy pulpit of the church of Christ, as a place from which to lash his oppon ents, to pour out bitter investive and rebuke on all who did not Join him in INTRODUCTORY .New MILLINERY AND LADIES' TOGGERY Big reductions on Ladies' Silk Dresses, Pattern Hats, Suits, Wash Dresses, Silk Petticoats, Real Hair Switches and Turban Braids, Lawn, Demity and Linen Shirt Waists, Taffeta and Pon gee Silk Waists, Auto Veils, Silk Veiling, American Beauty Cor sets, very dainty effects in Jaboas, Ladies' Collar and Cuff Sets, Wash and Elastic Belts. JAMES A. PERRY Successor to the BELL SISTERS his scheme to retain his position against the will of a large percentage of the church membership, and in doing so has not only lowered his standing as a preacher of the gospel, but has reduced the dignity of the holy pulpit and of the church itself. "Rev. Davis Errett has accused a member of the church of dishonesty or the misappropriation of church funds, which charge amounts In every respect to that of embezzlement, without having produced proof of the said charge. He has greatly injured the character and good name of that member and, when confronted by the member against whom he made the charge, has denied making the same. In doing this he has told a falsehood to cover his guilt of the first offense. In the two acts last mentioned, he has not only shown himself unfit to be a minister of the gospel, but to be lacking In the honesty and integ rity essential to manhood. i In view of the foregoing, we ear neatly urge you, the honorable board of ministerial standing, to Investigate 17 , , . j VV" lM" L""'r" UI yrJ 1 BIIU r V , ,7k r 111,1 nl8 brother, Walter Meecum.
