Atkinson of blame.
The nrguments over tho proposed sta

Director Tnylor later made application for
a certificate of public convenience to per
mit the construction of another section

talk about it."
NHWS FINDS I.IIAK.
Apparently, however, there 1.1 u leak
homewhere. for It has become kmmu that
one of the causes of the wholesale seces
ulnti wns the "blackballing" of a mull,
rt ho was it candidate for membership,
and who was considered highly deslin
hie by the majority of the members. One
black vote was east against blip.
"Tim trouble Is,," It wns eplained,
"that one person was trying to run
things, and the members would not stand
for it."
It wns saiil that one way in which this
pei son demonstrated her deslro to run
things wns by habitually voting against
the udmlsslon of membeis.
"Was this person Mrs. Kcene?" one of
the members Has asked.
"1 will not say who It was," was the
response.
Among thofce who are behind the move
ment to form the new lodge are Harry
Cooper, Paul Armstiong, Wllllnm H.

Mrs rtaff, formerly worthy matron of
St. John's Chupter.
Chew is an undertaker at 192S Federul

that when her husband was proposed for
membership ho was blackballed. Chew Is
not a member of the chupter. but he ad
mitted that ho Is one of those leading
the movement to form the new chapter
Some of the members have hinted about
plans for u special meeting by one of the
wurrlug factions. All of the members, It
Is said, were not notified, and this caused
further indignation. Some of the nutlonul
ottlcers were communicated with and their
opinions asked as to what should be
done.
Finally, as an outcome of the dispute,
came secession. ThU took place at tho
very next meeting after the one at which
the dispute occurred.
At tho meeting tonight In the Parkway
Building, ottlcers of Covenant Chapter
will be elected, a meeting place decided on
and other routine matters transacted. It
Is expected that many of the old oltleers
of St- John's will be elected to positions
in the new lodge. Tho members say that
the matter of the dispute will not be
discussed, but will be allowed to rest In
oblivion. The organizers ui;e determined
that strife shall have no place In the af

Philadelphia were granted permission by
the school roard last evening to hold a
meeting lu the high xchuol audltoiiuiu
Sunday evening, January !. It has been
persistently lumored that the Cuitarlana
would launch a campaign in this city
during the Sunday revival, in order to
combat the attacks which Sunday hurls
at their doctrines In some of his sermons.
The application for use of the auditor
ium wus mado by the Joseph Priestly
Confeience of Philadelphia, upon a writ

Otfcar it. Hawes as "sponsor."
During Sunduy's Patersun campaign,
tho Unitarians of that city held special
meetings lu order to answer the vitriolic
criticism Sunday hurled at their church.
Also In Philadelphia, during the Sunday
campaign, they let theli opposition be
known to his arraignment of their beliefs.
Having lu mind the breach between Mr.
Sunday and the 1'nltariuns. Commission
er Bullock, at the school board meeting
last night, questioned whether it would
be advisable to giant the use of the audi
torium to the Unitarians while the Sun
duy campaign is In progress.
Mr. Hullock said he would not press
the point, merely desiring to cat) the
board's attention to tho feeling between
Sunday and the Unitarians. The board
granted the application without comment,
as It Is customary to permit, the use of
school buildings for rellgtou purposes.
. There Is no substantial organization of
Unitarians In this city, though there are
many who are adherents of the faith and
It was said last evening that the purpose
of the meeting was to organize a church

'LIVING CHURCH' PUTS
SOME SHARP QUERIES
TOG. WHARTON PEPPER
Comments on Churchman's At
' titiulo Toward Episcopal
Periodicals, Quoting Let
ters to Bishop
ECHO OF PANAMA ACTION
The current number of tho l,lvlng
Church reviews In nn editorial nrtlclo a
pamphlet Juil published by the Ithhop of
Marquette, ono of tho llvo members of tho
Uplscopal iloard of .Ilrslons who resigned
bemuse of the Pnnnmn. nctlon. Iilshop
I Williams calls his pamphlet "The Lcgni
! Discussion of Iho Panama Congress," nnd
reviews the differences between him and
George Wharton Pepper, of this city.
The Illshop holds Hint the Hoard of
Stlislons Is tho agent of general conven
tion In missionary propaganda ami that
Its rights and duties are such as arc
recognized III the law of agency. Mr.
I Pepper denies that tho board Is legnlly
tn ngem or general convention, inoiigu
adding: "I very much wish that this
really wero tho legal situation."
The Living Church comments. "It li
75 jcars too late for Mr. Pepper's thor
oughly erastlan doctrine to bo accepted
by the Amcrlcnn Church. For three-quarters
of 11 century It has been assumed by
the Church nnd by tho Hoard of Missions
that tho latter, though incorporated so
thnl It could legally administer trusts,
wns an eccleslnsltcal organldatlon, cre
ated by General Convention nnd subject
to the dfieCtloh of that body. As such It
has received innumerable bequests:
It has, through Its officers and many of
Its members (including Mr. Popper), te
pentedly avowed that Its work Is 'the
mission' of tho Church."
.Mr. Pepper" wrote a letter to the Rlsliop
of Mniquette containing this phrase, "As
I seldom see the Church papers." The
Living Church says In regard to this:
"We quite rcnliio that In these words
Mr Pepper eloquently expresses hi opin
ion of the American Church press. It is
not it fnvorablp opinion, nor Is it ono to
which ho has arrived only recently. It
can only bo true that lie 'seldom sees the
church papers' because he does not deem
them worthy of his perusal All nlllcc
they nro waved aside as containing noth
ing that Is- or Interest or of value to.
him Our own respect for Mr. Pepper Is
so much greater than tils for the church
press that we shall venture some com
ment on that view: not. Indeed, for his
own eyes, for bo will not see It, nnd be
cause obviously no view that wo oan ox
press on nny subject will be of value to
him."
The editorial proceeds to demonstrate
Mr. Popper's leprescntotlvo position lu
the church by enumerating thc positions
lie holds on various commissions nnd
boards. It argues that Mr. Pepper Is tho
representative of the whole number of
American churchmen who "are his con
stituents." "Now how Is the constituent to com
municate with his representative?" The
writer s:i.s, "He may treut our opin
ions with contempt, and, indeed, that may
be all they are woith."
Tho personal letter Is considered to have
disadvantages. It Is suggested that the
columns of The Living Church nre one
of the places wheie one would imtuniliy
llnil tho opinions of Individuals.
Tho Dean of New York and tho only
living ox-presidciit of the House of
Deputies, with others, wiote on subjects
lelati-tl to the work of the Hoard of Mis
sions to tho periodical. "And nre they
not men of sullUient dignity for Mi
Pepper to deem them tit to Hiibnilt sug
gestions to him?" asks tho editorial
it says "tup exaggerated Individualism
of Mr. Pepper's varied positions on the
questions that come, before the church" Is
probably Iurgol "due to his unwilling
ness to put himself in touch with the
thought und the knowledge of tho woik
of the cliuich."
