SECT TENETS NOT
VII 111 MISSIONS
Dr. Mullowney Says Principals of
Christianity Are All
Important
That the churches attempting to
carry the Gospel to the Chinese should
not teach the tenets of their sects, but
should try to teach them the prin
ciples of Christianity only, is the
opinion expressed by Dr. John J. Mul
lowney, assistant chief medical in
spector of the State Department of
Health, speaking at the annual ban
quet of the Men's Brotherhood of
Covenant Presbyterian Church last
night
Dr. Mullowney was a teacher for
four years at the Union Medical Col
lege of North China at Peking. He
saw the interior of China in his work
for the Red Cross Society during the
Chinese revolution. He said the ex
penditure of money by the American
churches in building schools of "higher
education" !s wrong, in his opinion,
as the Chinese can take care of them
selves, and the money could better be
spent for spreading the gospel by
printed matter and preaching. He
showed views of the interior of China.
Will Kitchen, the entertainer, gave
half a dozen humorous readings, which
kept the party in a laugh. The Rev.
Harvey Klaer was toastmaster. There
were no other speakers. The Rev. C.
O. Bosserman, a former pastor, made
the invocation. He and E. J. Stack
pole were guests of the brotherhood.
Sixty-one were present.
Those present were as follows: The
Rev. Harvey Klaer, W. H. Kitchen, Dr.

VERNON R. MINNIS
Vernon Rufus Minnis, aged 54 years,

i carriers, died this morning at his
j home, 922 Penn street, as a result of a
i stroke. Death came shortly before

morrow.
Five weeks ago "Buck" Minnis. as
he was known, fell at Second ana
I Forster streets while making a morn
ing mail delivery, breaking his left leg.
j Close confinement to the house since

his bed, he showed signs of improve
ment. A widow. Mrs. Mary Mir.nis, i
and one brother, Emerson S. Minnis i
survive.
"Buck" Minnis weighed almost SOO
pounds and his frier,ds say he had a
heart in him as big as his body. Start
ing his duties early in the morning, it
was said, he was not only a distributor
of mail, but a dispenser of good cheer
all the day long. Ho was known one
end of Harrlsburg to the other and
will be missed by old and young.
"Buck" Minnis was born in Elk
Ridge Landing, Harford county, Md.,
May 3, 1860. At the age of 17 he
secured his first position in the Chesa
peake Nail Works as a nail plate
heater. He held that position for
fourteen years and later entered the
mall service as letter carrier, which
position he held until the time of his
death.
Mr. Minnis was prominent in frater
nal organizations. He was known as
an ardent baseball fan and one of the
best rooters Harrisburg had. He was
a member of the Knights of Malta
Independent Order of Odd Fellows
West End Republican Club, Post Office
Beneficial Society and the Paxton Fire
Company.
Funeral arrangements will be an
nounced later.
