PRESBYTERIAN DISPUTE.
CHURCH PROPERTY DAMAGED.
s A 38ociation -Electrie TeleeraDh-CoDyrlffl (Received Monday, 9.10 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day.
When the congregation attended the Presbyterian Church iu South Melbourne it found all the doors and windows barricaded, and, after forcing an entrance, discovered that an organ, valued at £IOOO, had been broken and the wooden pipes removed and nailed to tho walls to barricade the windows. The night service was conducted with the aid of candles, placed on the ends of the seats along tho aisles.
The trouble is stated to be the result of a dispute with another church in the vicinity to amalgamate the two Presbyterian Churches. The congregation at the church where the trouble occurred refused to do this, and for the last six months has been conducting services without the aid of a minister.
