Moss to his place. M. Robinson, Maynard Ketcham, Clarence Tebo, Rex A. Thompson and Ernest F, Morris, went Pastor Whitcomb's home yesterday after- noon and led him to the church, Mr, Robinson and one or two others took seats behind the pulpit and regarded the trustees as they dropped in for the afternoon service with Christian but determined fortitude. President Harry D, Smith and Will- iam Tozer of the trustees held a whispered consultation with the Rev. Mr. Moss in the church cntry and determined to allow Mr. Whitcomb to continue until he was tired out rather than have an open break by sceking to eject him. This plan was discarded, however, when women members of the pas- tor’s party appeared after he had ex- tended his remarks on the text until 8 o'clock and laying a cloth on the table in the pulpit, set out a light hot lunch for him to eat while the congregation was singing a hymn, At this point Mr. Moss, accom- panied by Mr. Smith and Mr. Tozer, advanced to the pulpit and asserting the property rights of the trustees told Mr, Whitcomb he was a tres- passer and asked him to leave the building. He firmly refused, President Smith went out and came back with two policemen, who went to the pulpit and took the sightless preacher ‘by the elbows. At this point there was considerable confusion.
