IS SEIZED BY THE F REGULAR LUCK The rollKloun iflimililjlii Hint Iiiih burned since- liiHt Vrtofoor bolwoon fiift Ioiih or tlio llupllHt faith In Ash land, flurcd anew Wednesday when members of tlin Ahlund I!it'nt church, hnldliiK to thfl tennis of the established IluptlHl, church, took pos session of the church, which hud been held by the First Haiitlst church. which cIIiiks to the "Ainieo Mcl'her son four-square gospel." Kill nun c to tho-church, except In public meetings, Is denied all followers of the "four square Bosool." 'I'ho Hev. II. C. Miller. leader of this creed, Is still in the parsonage, however. According to Itev. Miller, no action will he taken by his flock to rcKnln the house of worship. Tho rollKlous row has been In tire courts since Inst Ueccmber mid ami ninnts on a motion to strike and eluci date on curtain paragraphs of the oriKlnal complaint havo been called for next Monday. What effect the latest action will havo on the legal procedure Is not known. V. O. N. Smith, hanker and leader of the established Ilaptists, in a state ment said: "The people supporting Hev. Miller have maintained through out that It Is wrong to go Into court over tills matter. They havo hold that It Is contrary to the teachings of the lilhlo. Now we shall see whether they will . live up to their assertions or whether they will bring the matter Into court. At any rule, we are now holding the building. "The church doors havo been locked, and we will not admit the members or the opposite wing to enter the building, except In pub lie meeting. It would he wrong for us to do so, for we would then lose imssesslon of the property which we bellcvo rightfully be longs to us. "Kntrance to the church is now being denied anyone who Is not a mombor of the congregation which refused to accept the faith pro . pounded by Hev. Miller. The doors of tho cdll'lco are locked and tho key can bo obtained only by members or the 'ousted' emi gre Ration. "There hnve been charges mndo thnt those In possession of the church now hnve taken over pri vate, property belonging to Hev. Miller, ir thorn Is any or Hev. Miller's private properly in tho church, wo will hand it out to him, hut we will not allow him to enter the building." Tho Hnv. II. C. Miller, lender of the othor group, said: "It was a great surprise to mo to lenrn of the action or tho Smith faction of tho church in unlawfully getting possession of tho edifice ns they wero tho first to appeal to the law. "If anybody ought to set an ex ample or law keeping It Is Chris tian people or those who pose as such. If wo wero to Interero with the duo process of the law and retake the church by violence, or other unlawful means, we would boenmo lawbrenkers and criminals. "'""The properly belongs to the First llaptlst church, or which 1 , am the pastor. I hellevo the courts will so decide n they un j 'nnlmoualy havo done In such cases. The fact that tho Smith faction . took possession or the building Unlawfully Is an admission on : 'their part that they know they '.. will bo deroatod.
