FIGHT ON RECTOR pfl
MAY GO ID COURT & d
Charges of Vestrymen et St. HH:M 4'S
Jude and Nativity Get HP!K' 'm' '-HB
Denial flKlaHV'XlE';flH
MAY WRECK CONGREGATION
Instead of resigning from their posi
tions as vestrymen of the Church of St.
Jude and the Nativity, Eleventh nnd
Mount Vernen streets, as requested by
n majority vote of the congregation, the
six vestrymen who yesterday started
open warfare against the Rev. James C.
Crossen, rector, may start legal proceed
ings te reninvA the minister.
This wns intimated today by V. J.
Smith, secretary of the church, when
asked te make public the charges the
vestrymen were holding against Mr.
Crossen, in the nbsence of C. William
Speiss, accounting warden of the con
gregation and leader in the fight agalnRt
the rector.
"Inusmuch ns this institution is a
corporation under the laws of the State
of I'ennsyivnnia," Mr. Smith said,
"whatever charges we have te prefer
against Mr. Crossen will be made In
the usual manner."
Mr. Crossen said he was net seri
ously concerned ubeut the plans of the
vestry.
"The church is the corporation," he
said, "and the vestry is supposed to te
represent the church, net misrepre
sent it. The corporation, which is the
church, has gene en record in this
question by supporting me in this con
troversy. As for resigning, I don't in
tend te tnke such a step new or In
the near future. I have received many
messages of support from members of
the congregation iu the last twenty
four hours."
The ether lpstrymcn are D. A.
Knight. A. IJ. Melville, (J. Ersklne nnd
E. L. Maize.
The original trouble, it Is charged by
i no vestrymen, started when the Rev.
Ci osen, who came te the local church
from Trinity Church, Celllngsdnlc, last
October, brought about the resignations
of R. Nerman Stokes, organist, and
Miss M. V. Slauuli. nurish worker.
shortly after his arrival.
The controversy wns brought te n
head June 28, when u congregational
meeting wns culled and, nt the request
of the pnster. n "vole of confidence"
wns taken. The vote in favor of the
rector's policies was l.'l" te .'. with
thirty-eight members net voting.
Opposed by Splcss
The Rev. Crossen today denied that
he was responsible for the resignations
nt tne organist nnd the parish worker,
and further charged that he came te
the church against the personal wishes
of Mr. Speiss. who had several ether
ministers In mind nt the time.
"Hut I wns warned by the Rlshep
before coining here that I would have
a fight en my hnnds. Thnt is the
reason the Rev. Mr. Caley left here
two years age. He saw the hnnrtwrlr.
lng en the wall.
"It was net long nfter I came here
thnt I discovered thnt Spiess and ethers
had formed a clique of their own by
which they sought te run tlte church
te suit themselves. Rccnute T would
net de everything they dictated te me
they decided, they would mnke it se
het that I veuld want te leave, nut
I'm net quitting. When the storm
broke some time nge, the Ulshep told
me that I had better cot out. ami
premised me ether wetdc rlsewhere.
Rut I decided te stick and see the
thing out.
Passes the Lle
"Spless' assertion that I forced Miss
Slough te resign is n falsehood. When
I came here I nindn n summary of
conditions ns I found them nnd pre
sented them te the vestrymen at a
meeting. It was from one of these
reports that some of the vestrymen
thought it ndvihoble te nsk Miss Slaugh
te resign, but I told them that we
should net he hasty, and thnt I wns
in favor of keeping her for n while,
nnywny. Spless evidently carried that
te .Miss Blaugh. and rearranged it te
mean that Miss Slaugh was te be asked
te resign. At any rate, she did re-
sign,
"TllO ereaillst Olllt becnilMn nn nnn

In which he makes his resignation nnd
gles the renten. There wns nothing
but a friendly spirit between us.
