CHURCH DISSENSION
A stormy parish. DEMONSTRATIONS AT ST. CUTHBERT’S. London, February 13. The demonstrations at St. Cuthbert’s, Darwen, culminated in an extraordinary scene. Mounted and foot police guarded the church and the congregation of 800 r emained quiet until the vicar, the Rev. F Laurin, went into the pulpit, when he was unable to make himself heard owing to laughter and shouting. Tho vicar went into the street and returned with police officers. Amidst ironical laughter ..nd singing the police accompanied the vicar as he moved about the church, taking the names of hundreds. People trooped out and the vicar, from the chancel, announced that owing to blasphemy. the service would end. When he went out into the street again there was an outburst of booing. Mounted police escorted him to the vicarage. Legal proceedings will follow.—(A. and N.Z.)
