J1 THE MJNCAff CASE kj First A. R. P, Presbytery li Affirms Action oi Called I! Meeting in Relation to Rev. Wm Dyncan. Gastouia special in Charlotte Observer. May 5: By a vote of 40 to 22 the Firit Presbytery of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church of the South today affirmed the action of the called meeting iu February when * pastoral relations whioh 1 nave been existing for about four years between Rev. William Duncan and the -First church of 7 \ i Charlotte were dissolved. The Presbytery also ruled, after au exhaustive discussion of ecclesi* astical law, that the appeal to Synod, which Mr. Dnncan and - hit followers had given notice of, -1 . #as not in order and that the 1/ matter could be carried to the . higher court only as a complaint, the book of government providing for appeal only in judicial I cases when either sentence or ' i censure has been passed. FoU ; lowing closely on the heels of \ I these two courses, the Presby tery adopted without division a resolution introduced by President J. 8. Moffatt, .)t'Due West, S. C., asking tor the appointment of a committee of three { to look into the iniimatioua ! ' * which have' gained wide eirculation in regard to Mr. Duncan and advise the Presbytery as to the wisdom or necessity of preferriur charges against him.
