'. Demanding dismissal of the injunc

" ' costs be made against the plaintiff a and
indicating, that the trustee ana mem'
hers trf the First Methodist church who
are attempting to. prevent the consoli
dation' of the Taylor street and Grace
t burche, Rev. Benjamin Young, pastor
of the First church, today filed his an
awer to the Injunction suit. , 4 ; : ".',
- In breezy and pointed . language he
indicates that the so characterised "se
cf sulonlsla'" are ' malcontents, trouble
makers and Inciters of sedition and be
tums up the entire situation by declar
ing the controversy Is of the kind that
a civil wurt should not be called upon
1, , Authority Za Cite. ' :
He insists on the . Other hand, that
the quarterly conference is the highest
authority in church affairs as far a
t onoenis the Methodist Episcopal
. church and that It and hot the civil
courts . snouia ue- caned upon to :
', i-lde. In this connection he points out
t the fact that the last quarterly confer
; euce,: meeting September1, 1812. approve,!
ilia decision of the board of trustees of
. each church to consolidate, and that the
; conference has not as yet revoked this
.' ' approval. S'.-
He takes the stand that he as pastor
; lias done everything according to the
ruies ana regulations or the church and
: that the - trustees and the . eonfeni
, both approved the two principal points
, r contention, nameiy. thu the consoll
oatea cnurcn should te khown as thv
"First Methodist -Church" and the place
- of- worship should be t Twelfth and

' tn summing up Ills aids of the "ease,'
Dr. Young ; says: ' There is only one
pastor and a single board of trustees;
and that, if it were not for the "malcon
tention, secession... sedition and schis
matic .influences pf the plaintiffs and
their Tesort to the adoption of tha tac
tics and influences contrary to the dis
cipline of the Methodist . Episcopal
church of the United States," everything
would have been effectually and advan
tageously accomplished as originally in.
tended and authorised v ' -s .-. - .
Further he says: .. m does not lay In
the mouths of these plaintiffs to allege
or assert in this court the intentions ,or
purposes in repudiation of - movements
and courses lawfully Initiated and car-:
riea out to t majority of the members
of the consolidated societies, nof to be-
near a ; w. auege that ? the matter and
, things done by the majority of the mari
bers are not properly or legally done
with reference to the will of the mem
bers, the pastor, and others of tha got
erning body, and It is denied that any
step has ever been taken to subvert or
abandon the lawful exercises and appli
cation of cnurcn practices upon the
property pf the consolidated society,"

The answer also denied that there are
existing articles of , incorporation pro
