The Matter Discussed and Acted
Upon at a Meeting of Minis
tiers.
The evangelical ministers held a
meeting yesterday morning. When the
meeting was called 10 order it was dis
covered that DR.. d. j. Burreli was alb
sent, This absence was made the sub
jeetof some discussion and criticism.
Itswas expected that the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the Sunday law
1observances and lack of obseryances
would make report. In the absence
ofDr. Burrell no official report could
be made. DR.. Tiffany, me mber
ofthe committee. said that if the COM
mittee had concluded to secure the
services of an attorney to more fully get
at the facts in regard to the observance
-Of the Sunday laws in this city. 1t had
then adjourned to meet at a subsequent
time and further discuss the matter.
The second meeting had been held. The
attorney was present, but DR.. Burrell
was absent. DR.. Burrell, it was
thought, had taken great interest in the
movement. DR.. Tiffany could not un-
apparently ignore the committee, and
had abated. Mr.. Gjertsen moved that
committee be appointed to see that the
former committee, of which DR.. Burrell
was chairman, get move on" so to
speak, and perform its work. DR.. Hoyt,
as the nominations were being made,
requested that the move be reconSid-
cred ana DR.. Burrell asked to act as
chairman of the committee. The new
city authorities would outline their pol
icy during the coming week, and it was
necessary that the work OF the commit
tee should be attended to at once. DIR.
Hoyt's suggestions were adopted, and
DR.. BurreH will be chairman of the
committee.
Rev. Mr.. Dunfee, the colored pastor
pastor, arose and said he very much re-
GREETED to say that III his neighbor&ood
certaiH petitions were being circulated,
to which numerous signatures had been
affixed, asking that the limits of patrol
be extended. Among the signerS were
numbers of church members, and the
reverend said their unchristlan action
In the manner grieved him sorely. The
reverend said that the excuse for circu
lating the petitions was that it would
benefit the business of the pc
titioners to have the patrol ex-
tended. On being requested for a
list of the names of the persons
who had signed Rev. Mr.. Dunfee said
he would leave it at the office of
pharmacist, where ali who wished
might at leisure peruse it. The patrol
limit scheme was then discussed. AS
result committee was appointed, of
which Rev. NJ. +. Gjertson is chairman,
and Revs. Wells, DR.. H. H. French, DIR.
Wayland Hoyt and DR.. Skogsbergh,
of the Swedish Tabernacle. are mem
bers. to draw up set of resolutions in
regard to the matter. The resolution
was drafted, read and adopted with
out dissent. 1t provides that commit
tee of five be appointed to draw
up petition to the legislature
which is to be handed to the pastors
of the congregations of the city churches
for signatures. This petition will then
be presented to the Hennepin delega-
ton. This petition will in no way in
terfere with local petitions now being
circulated on Franklin avenue and i'll
other localities. 1t was thought that
the mile university circuit on the East
side made the appointment of minis
ter from that side of the river unneceS-
Sary.
