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.
