EXtraOtdtnary Statement of a Rev
Haven Preacher.

Haven Preacher.
New York WOrld.l
A sensational episode occurred
in the Baptist Church at New
Haven, Conn, last Saturday, which
is attended by the members of the
Winchester family, whose large
works for the manufacture of arms
are located in that city. The COM
pany has an extensive contract for
supplying the Turkish army with
repeating rifles, which are now
rapidly manufactured for shipment
to Constantinople.
Last Sunday, several members of
the family being in attendance at
the services, the officiating minister
took for his subject the war troubles
in the East. Reciting the stories
touching the barbarous treatment
of the Bulgarian Christians by the
Turks, the preacher denounced the
Turkish people, and gave it as his
opinion that all Christians should
unite in behalf of their prosecuted
brethren in their struggle for re-
ligious and political liberty. Then
he referred to the fact of the Turk
ish contract with the Winchester
mandatory, and said that "keep-
ing a house Of prostitution was a
respectable occupation compared to
furnishing arms which would be
used for the massacre of the Chris
tians.'
Those of the Winchester family
who were present were, naturally,
greatly outraged by this direct al
lusion to them from the pulpit, and
there is much feeling in New
Haven on the subject
