THE REV. Mr.. CRAFTS AND HIS CHURCH.
One of the prominent members of the Church OF
the Christian EndeavOr Brooklyn, who Is opposed
70 the administration of the Rev NJ. Crafts, said
yesterday thai the ,ote taken at the church meeting
held last Tuesday night was not, in his opinion,
true indication of tho feeling of the church. Many
who were entitled TO IL vote were not present OF
did not vote IA. Al, -
. As to the vote of the society, taken after the
vote of the church, being of any significance salu
he that is all nonsense. 1t was taken Oy accla,
nation after the other vote had been taken, ana
those opposed to Mr. Crafts either did not vute OF
were not willing to set themselves up as voting
against the apparent will OF the churcR Inc quGs
ton of orthodoxy and heterodoxy-w whatever Mr..
Graft NAV say docs not enter into this discussion
at all No one, whether lie belonged to the church
before 1t became Congregational or mas oned slnee,
ia Obliged to subscribe to the Creed MT ClaiIS
does not know that those who voted against MN
were the hcterOdox members VI tue churcIi, ior II
was n closed ballot. The trouble is that MI Graits
has tried to spread himself out too thn II NC
had been content to fill the pulpit well anu leave
the management of other affairs OF the chnrch 10
the a,mcn he would have got along all rlIht;
When he says that he never personally requested
any member of the Sunday school to leave IT, ne mas
forgotten. He requested me TO resign. Inc
Roard of Trustees, which sent notices TO others IN
the Sunday school to resign composed Largely OF
new men, several of whom have told Inc since that
thev did what they did because Mr.. Crafts wished
them to- and that they did not know their rights IN
tile premises. The outcome of il all will probably
be that Mr.. Crafts Will consider that he has been
yindlcated by the vote of the church ana society,
and not insist his resignation being accept"u
Those who are opposed to him will quietly drop OUT
and 90 to church elsewhere There.will be, am sure
no effort made to form another church odt OF the
disafected members OF the Church OF the CHRISTIAN
Endeayor."
