STUDENTS OF TRUTH.
ANOTHER SPLIT IN THE CAMP. MARRIAGE OF A. B. WORTHINGTON. A few weeks ago Mr A. Bentley Worthington, the teacher of the body known aa the Students of Truth, paid a visit to Australia, and ever since hie retain it has been freely stated that he was about to be married to a young woman, a resident of this city. All doubt as to the truth of the rumour was Bet at rest at the usual weekly meeting on Thursday evening, by Mr Worthington announcing hiß approaching marriage. Having made the announce* ment, he was about to close the meeting, when Mr George Simpson, who has been closely associated with Mr Worthington in the teaching for a considerable time, mounted the platform and essayed to Bpeak, but waa prevented from doing so by Mr Worthington and waa promptly ejected from the building, as was also a lady Student who wished to protest against the marriage. Mr Simpson and several other leading Students then held a meetiiig, and it waa decided to form an independent society of the Students of Truth in order i to carry on the teaching, and arrange- ] ments were accordingly made for the open* ing services, which took place yesterday.
