PASTOR DEFENDS IT Dr. Grammer Says Interchurch , Federation Can't Sustain Bishop Berry CRITICIZES COMMISSIONERS The Itev. Dr. Carl K. Grammer.' president of the Inter-Church Federa tion, docs not agree with Bishop Joseph 8.. Berry, of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, and with tho Rev. T. T. Mutchlcr,- of the Philadelphia Sabbath Association, that the federation should protest against Sunday sports in Fair mount Park. Bishop B6rry in a statement denounc ed tho Park Commissioners for permit ting Sunday athletics during his absence from the city and called upon the fed eration to denounce the commissioners. Doctor Grammer, who, is rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, has this to say, however, regarding the call : "Tho Iptcr-Chureh Federation can speak only when its members ngrce upon a courso of action. The subject was considered at a meeting -of the execu tive committee and there was a diversity of opinion. I was not prebent at the meeting. "Personally I do not agree with Doc tor Mutchlcr. However, I nm opposed fo having the Park Commissioners at tempt to abolish the law by their own edict. I would like to see the law set aside in n legal way." Prof. Lightner Wltmcr, of the Uni versity of Pcnnsylvnala, adds his voice to the controversy and asks whether the Presbyterian, Methodist nnd Reformed ministers, who linvc planned to prench against Sunday recreation this coming Sunday, "should not be considered hypo crites and cowards." Bisjiop Berry's Views After dcclnring that the controversy is not between Doctor Mutchler and the Park Commission, but a matter in which all Christian forces nrc concerned, and predicting that a "wide-open" Sunday will follow the Sunday sports in the park, Bishop Berry iu his statement said: "We have In Philadelphia an organi zation of which I am proud to be a member, representing the united Prot cstaut churches. I refer to the Inter church Federation. It has as its presi dent the Rev. Dr. Carl 13. Grummet, one of the broadest aud ablest clergy men in the city.

Is It not a little sur prising that In view of the vital moral issues Involved this great organization has had nothing to say? I hnvo been expecting n call for n conference of the leaders of tho federation on this tre mendously Important matter. "Possibly the leaders are not yet ready to act decisively. But permit me to cxprets tho hope that before long we may have some rlngiug cxpressiou of dissent concerning this flagrant viola tion of the law by persons high In au thority who should be the last men among us to bredk the law or defy the Christian scnthncut of the city. Wltmcr's Views Professor WItmer in his statement says: "Will these clergymen please tell us, when, they preach from the pulpit next bundayagaiust this nctlou of the park commissioners, why we should not con sider them both hypocrites and cownrds? "The Master, whoso teaching they profess to follow, said: 'The Sabbath was made for mau and not man for the Sabbath.' These clergymen have made not attempt to molest golfers playing on Sunday nt tho Philadelphia Country Club, within the city limits. TheyMiavc mndo no attempt to stop -the sale of tobacco and soda-water ou Sundays, nor do they try to close the social clubs of Philadelphia on tho Sabbath, the rccrcatiou places of the well-to-do. Sajs They Oppress (he Poor "If It is not cowardice that makes them confine their efforts to the simple recreations of the poor, is it because the institutionalized church represents privilege? These clergjmeu obtain money from the well-to-do nnd arc em ploying it to oppress the poor. If they arc neither cowards nor hypocrites they will begin first with the well-to-do members of their own congregations, who arc spending n part of Sunday joy riding in automobiles or playing golf on private grounds. Are the children to be compelled to stand on the confiues of the Philadelphia Country Club and see some of the well-to-do members of these congregations nlayiug golf, while they are denied the enjoyment of base ball and tennis? ' New Democracy's Demands "The institutionalized church is con trolled by privileges, as are tho schools of Philadelphia aud the University- of Pcnnsjlvanin. Equal opportunity to work, equal opportunity to play and equal opportunity to secure nu educa tion these are the minima demands of the new democracy. "The way to keep bolslicvism out of America is to make bolslicvism unnec essary. Are the claw-cs who enjoy a liberal and' professional education, a liberal treatment of their recreation nnd many other privileges to deny this right to the many who are poor? Is it going to be necessary for revolution to wrest from tho hands of privilege an equal opportunity to work, to enjoy aud to be educated?"
