In a congregational meeting held yesterday morning at Grove Street Baptist Church a unanimous vote was' recorded making that church unsectarian in spirit and unde nominational in form and changing the name to Grove Street Church. Leaders of the church declared that this step was the consumma tion of a movement pending for several months, taken after much consideration and prayer, with all love for those who may not see the necessity or advisability of It. They stated further that It has become a matter of deep conviction with this congregation. As to the general policies of the independent church formed, It will continue to maintain the ordinances of baptism by Immersion and the Lord's Supper, the latter being open to all believers. Its financial support and gifts are to be purely on the free will offering basis, and the congregation registers its pro test against all fairs, bazaars, sup pers, drives and other worldly and compulsory methods of raising money for the Lord's work. The In dividual Christian Is regarded as support, and this church will trans mit through its regular channels the offerings of its members to any evangelical Christian work which the giver shall designate. A brief summary of the articles of faith covering the fundamental truths taught ln the Bible was adopted and will be signed in ink by each one becoming a member. The Import of these articles is a definite stand taken against what Is known as "modernism," "human rationalism," as applied to the Bible, destructive criticism, evolu tion, and all skeptical tendencies that usually go. with these.

Julius C. Martin, attorney for Mr. Richardson, stated last night that he will take the case to the Su preme Court. It will nrobably be several months before the Supreme Court acts and the Superior Court verdict affirmed or over-ruled. It was asserted In the complaint that Mr. Richardson purchased property from Mr. Jennings with the privilege of boatina- and fish ing in the lake and the lake added to the property materially as a Summer residence. After the lake was wasted as a result of the floods during the Summer of 1918, 'Mr. Richardson entered suit for $20,000 damages or to compel Mr. Jennings to re build Lake Toxaway. A total of nine cases with practi cally similar suits, It is asserted, known as the "cottage cases", have been standing for some time and it is expected that further action will be halted by cottage owners until the outcome of the Richardson caHe ln the Supreme Court. Whether Mr. Jennings will re build the lake hag been a matter of speculation for several months, however, It was learned some time ago that the lake would be rebuilt as soon as the "cottage cases are settled, but no recent announce ment has been made by Mr. Jen nings or his representatives. What effect the non -suiting of the Richardson case will have on the future plans for the lake is a matter of speculation. , cinnatl, Lebanon and Northern train No. 11 met in head-on col lision with a negro Sunday School excursion train carrying more than 200 persons, jit Lestern Station, a suburb of Cincinnati.
