aid that a. many invited guests from
broad entertained views entirely at variance
, hose expressed by the speaker lie
that it would be d~iscourteOus. unlike
americans, and unchristian. to permit the
i>cp>>ion 10 continue. The voice of the
hartman was drowned in cries for Curry
N. Curry rose ard said in response that he
aided hy the decision Of the Chairman as
~.lgdrd the rule Of elimination, yet he wished
4o>i cinplaticaliv 70 protest against being
c:mrd By the Chairman either "unchris.
or discourteeus.' A terrific uproa,
Dr.. Crooks finally persuaded the
1di"ncc TO become partially reconciled, and
in explanation that he had been in
'gned by ii visiting friend that the discus
on was very painful 10 him, and he doubtet
u that it was to many others. Personally
Il Chairman said that he agreed with the
.cws Of Nj. Curry, but respect for the feel
:, OF guest, Of The Alliance made it i'm
that the discussion should cease al
~ point.
The World speaks Of the "tumultuou

ulrncc to demand that the right to exceed
