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

"Tho orflco of the church build
ing contains private property he
'longing to mo. Tills orflco bns
'nlso been unlawfully entered. Wo
do not know, of course, whether
