Trouble is brewing In ST. Andrews
Brotherhood of Christ Episcopal Church,
al Clairmont avenue and Clerk street.
Many of the young men connected with
the guild, ir is said, held a meeting be-
hind closed doors one night last week for
the purpose Of devising means to get rid
of their president. who is the rector Of
the Church. the Rev. Mr.. Hewitt. Ac-
cording to these young men Mr.. Hewitt
is very unpopular. When the society
was organized they say. he took upon
himself the presidency of it. aud has
been running its affairs to suit himself.
They have asked him several times to
resign but he has refused TO do so. Tn ey
now threaten TO get out.
REV. MR. HEwLITT's VERSION.
The Rev. Mr.. Hewitt WAS seen this
morning by a JERSEY CITY NEWS re-
porter in eRa TO the trouble. He
stated that, as far as he was aware, til ere
was no trouble. Last spring. he said. he
collected Il number of young men to-
gether for the purpose OF organizing a
society to bring the young men from the
street Into the church. About thirty re-
sponded to his invitation. aud the St.
Andrews Brotherhood OF Christ Church
was formed. II was only a temporary
organization at first, but his intention
was to make ii permanent In the future
and join the st Andrews Brotherhood
established organization IN the United
States. Mr.. Hewitt appointed him
self its Chairman. as it was
really DO established organization
but opIy a meeting of young men under
his supervision. They had not draw uD
any bylaw VS. or constitution, and no dues,
fees or assessments OF any kind We're
ever paid by any OF the members. En-
tertainmeuts were given once q month,
and collections were taken up to defray
the expenses.
DIDN'T LIKE THE NAME.
Things ran on all summer like this
until some members. about u month 20,
wanted to establish it permanently and
change the name. as they did not like
the idea of Brotherhood. So last
Thursday they held a meeting and
elected their own officers, although it
was understood that Mr.. Hewitt would
have 10 approve OF them before they
could take their places. Although they
know have their own officers. Mr.. Hew-
lit still continues to be at their meet
ings, and IL things occur which he does
not approve of, objects to the proceed.
ing. II is probably on account of this
thut the secret meeting was held to re-
quest him to resign from the or9auiza-
lion, for. rs rector Of the church, the law
of the Episcopal diocese gives him
the power to act as chairman of all church
organizations. Mr. Hewitt said that he
would still continue to attend their meet
ings as the young men were a pretty wild
set aud were liable 10 do things which
would he deIrine ntal to the church's in
terest: and that they neeaed some one to
look after them. AS rector of the church
be would take upon himself that re-
sponsibility.
