NEW JERSEY
Considerable sensation and bad feeling
ated at Paterson last week by the refusal of Rev.
George NJ Dorwsrt, Rector OF the Church of the
Holy Communion, TO allow the coffin of Samuel
Urmson to be drsped with the American flag at
the funeral services, which were conducted by Far
ragut Post. The members of the Post are highly
indignant and denounce the minister as a rebel
and traitor.
Mr. Dorwart publishes an open letter in reply to
these attacks, in which he says he is good Amer
ican and that he meant no disrespect to the flag
or 10 the Grand Army. He simply followed out
the rules of the Episcopal Church, which pro-
vide that decorations shall appear coffin
when il Is placed before the altar II a pail had
been spread over the flag and the caps of the pail
bearers ii would have been all right. But he could
more allow the services to proceed while the
coffin decorated than he could permit the
firing squad 10 stand 10 church with their caps
on. Secular organizations attending church fune-
rails when inside the church. are recognized mere
ly laymen and such are subject to the
Church's rules and regulations and in the absence
of any explicit rule canon, are subject to the
ruling OF the priest OF the parish.
