over the fact that the ladies, Goo
speed them, who are the insigators o
the Charity Hospital enterprise, in
augurated ball in the interest of the
hospital fund. To this mode of pro
ceedure the clergy objected and som:
of them denounced il from theil
pulpits and the Ministers Alliance
protested against the ball. The clergy
are in it for war, and from the follow
ing it will seem the people, especially
the ladies, are here TO stay. Read the
interviews:
Justice Fisher-The manner in
which the announcement WIS made
had tendency 10 antagopize large
number, and | hope the ladies will
yet modify their plans and leave off
the public ball part of The programme.
Adam Fischer-There can possibly
be nothing wrong in the proposed
charity ball. l hope the ladies will
realize good sum of money.
Mrs w. III. Evans am in SYM
pathy with the ladies heading the
charity movement and don't think it
is any of the business of the preachers
to interfere.
Capt. Il. P. Archer said-Never in
the history of my life have l known
of case where the ministry opposed
a similar measure especially where
the object is bo,h for christianity and
humanity.
Recorder Pilkington.-The ladies
should be upheld in their very Iauda-
BILE efforts in the direction Of securing
apublic hospital, and l hope the ball
will be browning success.
Dick Olmste The ladies are gen
orally right, and they are emphatical-
ly SO in this case. son with the
dance and let Joy be unconfned."
Capt. L. G. Gunn-The preachers
are right and the ladies are right.
The preachers are not opposing the
charity ball, but they are opposed
TO church members taking any part.
Joe Sicher Havn't thought much
about it, but the ladies are doing a
noble work in the matter OF the char.
ity hospital, and should receive an
earnest support.
A. l.. Burr think the Alliance
is stretching itself point in this mat.
ter. notice similar action on the
part of the ministers of Mexico, Mo,
but in that case the objections are
based on the day-Christmas eve.
Tom Prentice-The action of the
ministers was entirely uncalled for.
The object is most worthy one, and
the ball will be a success now more
than ever.
TIL. Kehoe-It is all right. The
large cities have charity balls every
year and the best and wealthiest peo- !
pie attend, attesting by their presence |
that it receives their hearty and IN
qualified endorsement.
G. d. Minter-The charity ball has
my sympathy and shall have my pat
ronage. Charity should be thankful |
to have the help of the best ladies and !
gentlemen in Sedalia.
w. d. Fellows-I believe that all
churches in Sedalia should be more
careful in such matters, but l do not
see the need of making fish of one and
flesh of another. If members of
churches are not permitted to dance
one time they should not be another
and vice versa.
Ira misunderstanding is a nice
amusement, i am with the ladies and
the preachers are not in it.
Mrs. Ira Hinsdale-I enjoy seeing
young people dance and since the ball
is to be conducted in proper manner
1 can see no harm in it.
Mrs. Henry Sinnett L do not
condemn the ministers FIR their
action, they probably thought they
were acting tor the best, but | do not
think they should use such dictatorial
methods TO accomplish an end.
Mrs. E. Z. McClellan-I am of the
opinion that the ministers have no
right to dictate in matter which at
the best is a question of conscience.
A. n. Maliby-I think the minis
tiers are set of cranks in some things
and they should get into their holes
on this matter of the ball.
Miss Florence Lamy-I think the
ministers did right, but of course those
ladies who do not agree with them
have no right to be condemned.
Mr.. Carl Guenther-It looks to me
as if the ministers are acting very
silly in this matter-they want to call
q halt.
Mrs. Carl Guenther-I am sorry
this question came up, but certain 1
am, my minister is too wise to sympa.
thize with any cranky movement like
the one in question.
Judge George Heard-I believe
