CHAPTER VI Amos Savage was no mitch against Reuben Skinner with his knowledge of parliamentary law and with the rules and regu- lations of conducting a meeting and Savage requested authority from the church to engage an attorney to assist him in the reopened case against Skinner. With the alo of an attorney Sav- age sid he could prepare his case against Skinner and answer all charges made. The church officials thought the best way to answer Skinner was not toen- gage an attorney at the expense of the church. Savage was told to go before the Consociation instemd and request that some form of body be appointed to assist him in the preparation of a new case against Skinner. Skinner jumped out of his seat in a flash and deminded - that If Savage has any new evidence against him that he present it right there and then, He said thatthe society had the authority to go to the Consociation without any help from Savage.

Savage said that the mater of engaging m new minister was more important for the church than the Skinner - Savage squabble. All was confusioninthechirch and the meeting voted to adjourn to cool tempers and to try to bring Skinner and Savage to- gether and request that withdraw his charges aginst Skinner or give Skinner the op- portunity to be heard right then and there. Unable to reach a compromise, it was voted to adjourn until February 9, 1824. At this meeting the controversy started all over again and since Savage had authority from the trustees to obtain counsel from the Consociation it could not be recalled. Since Savage would not with- draw his charge against Skin- ner, the trustees decided that no progress could be made until Savage appeared withhis coun- sel from the Consoclaion to continue with the charges against Skinner,.

Then a member got up and made & motion that the case be thrown out altogether for the smke of peace and har mony. The motion carried with only afew dissent ing. The following resolution was presented and adopted: \Re- solved, that in view of the diffi- caities - which - have unhappily grown out of the state of the parties in this church, they all be buried in oblivion, and that in the future we will use our best endeavors in reliance on divine grace to live and act in such manner as shall cause the light of our Christian profession to shine, that those without shall be coistrainedtotake knowledge of us that we have been withthe Lord Jesus Christ.\ In the midst ofwhat threatened to develop into a more bitter - } QUEENSRURY 4NN | Glens Falls, N.Y. controversy than before and which was supposed to have been settled by the North Granville decision the church called Rev. John Whiton, on February 14, 1824, to come and settle with the society as its minister. Rev. Whiton was installed into office and it appeared that peace would be restoredand /actional feeling quieted down, at least on the surfare, and Whiton seemed to be the answer to the difficulties experienced by the church. With Mr. Rossiter gone and &a new minister in his place, the church was on the way toward proceeding as before the split caused by Skinner, who now was elected as a delegate on June 30, 1824, to the C onsociation as a _- representative from the Middle Granville Congre- gational Church,. While every one gave a sigh of relief and thought that the trouble was finally over, @ new element entered into the church, Young people who took their seats in the church gallery Sundays be- came noisy and restless during services. When several ushers were sent up to find the cause of the dis- turbance the young people said that the sermons of Rev. Whiton were too long.

Besides, an- other dark cloud appeared on the horizon in the form of an underground movement by some members of the church to change the church government from Congregational to Pres- byterian, Whena vote was taken on September 15, 1824, fifteen of the - committee - voted for & change and eight votes were cast against it, Deacon Skinner was up on his feet protesting the move and insisted on another meeting to be held, February 25, 1825, to expurge from 'he church re- cords the vo'e for a change. There were shouts of ''no, no,\\ In the meantime Skinner was contacting some of the church members to vote against the change but he didn't succeed. When the vote was taken it was twelve votes in the affirm» ative and nine votes in the nega- tive on the question of change. Skinner shouted that he was op- posed tothe change of the church government, But the change came and the Middle Granville society split Into two factions - Congrega- tional and Presbyterian,. A re- vival meeting was called for April 3, 1831, in an effort tore- unite the two factions into the original Congregational So- clety. But, there stood Skinner, like the Rock of Gibraltar, un- movable, and he waived a peti- tion of re-union to the quarrel~ ing factions. When the ballots were counted Skinner announced that there wore only four dis- senters out of a total vote of 30 to hold up the proposed reunion. On a cold winter night in De- cember 1831, Skinner joined in a conversation with a group of men seated around the stove in the Wood store in Middle Gran- ville and the main topic was 'the church,\\ In the group were several men who criticized Skinner for his causing so much trouble in the church, some using strong language in their Open daily 9 to 9 'Suturday - 9 to 6 Sun day 9 to 1 \ € of opinion.
