The Cumberland Church Case: The
question of the validity of the union between
the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.,
and the former Cumberland Presb>terian
Church, which has been pending in the
courts of Kentucky, was settled by a decision
handed down by the presiding ,ius:
tice of the court of appeals for Kentucky,
January 21. The validity of the union is
sustained at every point by KontucKy's
highest court. This decision reverses the
circuit court, which declared for The
rights of the Cumberland contestants. The
matter is final for Kentucky. The case is
stiH pending in Tennessee, where it has
been argued, but as yet the decision has
not been handed down.?The Westu.mster.
Chicago: In the Westminster, of January
30, Rambler tells of a Sunday in
Chicago. At night in Orchestra Hall he
* -?
aticuucu tt pupuiar meeting under the artspices
of the Sunday Evening Church Club,
and reports as follows: "The crowds are
composed of all sorts and conditions of
men, the hotel folk being the most distinctive
class. It was the Rambler's good
fortune to be one of the twelve hundred
nersons who heard a Chicago Presbyterian
pastor, Rev. Dr. Joseph A. Vance,
preach unon Tho noiii?inn <~?i
?VV.ID>VU UL uuua VyilCtJr."
It was an ideal sermon for that occasion..
Doubtless, also, it led many persons
to seek out Dr. Vance in his own
church to hear more of the same sort,
(t was a wholesome, vital, satisfactory
gospel, the sort that helps men and
women to live.'
