YjOfn in* 13 of the Presbyterian and Cumberland Presbyterian church throughout the country are deeply interested in an Injunction suit that came up for hearing today in the appellate court of this city. The injunction seeks to prevent the union of the two religious bodies and was filed 'ey Mijfhers of the Cumberland Presbytojan church. No apparent opposltionmto the un ion exists among the mernVrs of the Presbyterian church of thV United States. The general assembly of herland Presbyterian church annual meeting held In 1903 at Bash ' ville. Tcnn., passed a rtscUition'suh mlttlng the question of union of the two branches of the denomination to a vote of the membership. At the general assembly held In 1905. at Fresno, Cal., the vote of the Cumberland membership was can vassed and showed a majority in fa vor of union. At the meeting of the general as sembly of the Cumberland church, held last May at Decatur, 111., the proposed union w4s decided upon. There was a minority report, how ever, as many members of the Curn iierland Presbyterian church are bit terly opposed to the merger with the Presbyterian church of the United States. The minority report recited the fact that a total of $7,390,560 worth of property belonging to the Cumberland church, or under its con trol, would revert to the Presbyterian church, and the objecting members held that there was no authority in the constitution of the Cumberland church which sanctioned such a step. On the contrary,, they held that It was directly opposed to both the spirit and the letter of the fundamental laws of the church. James Milliken university, of De catur, 111., is one of the institutions controlled by the Cumberland Presby terian church, and as the last general assembly of the church was held in that city, injunction proceedings to prevent the consummation of the un ion were commenced there by mem bers of the congregation who are op posed to the change. It is these proceedings that are now up for hearing and the result, of whlcn is awaited with keen interest by the members of the two churches every where. ONLY ONE VACANCY ON THE POLICE FORCE.
