A heated council debate over church property and disestablishment pits Lord Provost and supporters against critics. Proposals seek to report legal positions, shift stipends, and potentially suppress two city charges to ease rates, with calls to wait for broader disestablishment outcomes.
The North British Daily Mail notes speakers defend a scheme while arguing rate payers are bound to bankrupt churches. Bailie Collins and Mr Morrison press the issue of lump sum payments, but critics counter that these churches belong to citizens and legal obligations are questioned.
The article argues for political freedom within Methodism, warning against turning the church into a political machine. It stresses open discussion on disestablishment, preserves unity in Christ while differing in public action, and praises political Dissenters for civil liberties and reform.
