The Penn's Grove record., 1894-07-13

S. r. LEAF.
ANOTHER EXPLANATION.
On May Sth delegates of the NJ. Z.
Sunday Schools (Emmanuel) PENIS
Grove, 'PedricktowD, Bridgeport, Re-
paupo, and Thorofare, met at Bridge
port and the five Schools from different
territories with equal voice and vote
agreed to unite to make an excursion to
Ocean City, July 18th, and stand an
equal share of the responsibility. l
was authorized to print a certain num-
Der of posters and tickets and divide
them and the expenses equally between
the Eve schools. Not till June LIST,
after all arrangements had been made
without the necessity of another meet
ing of the committee was the excursion
announced in the RECORD.
Mr.. Leap called on me as stated
above. 1 did not consider it wise on
my part to tell all the plans and ar
engagements Emmanuel School had
made. He wanted to know il it was
too late to join the combination. l
told him then, L could not say. He
asked if Mr.. Helms, of Repaupo, had
written 10 me. 1 told him he had (but
did not tell l had written fist, April
10th, before anybody had taken action
or agitated this year a combination X
%cursion). lie said he had written to
him. 1 asked, "This year?" He re-
piled, 'last year." st. Paul refused to
join the combination last year. EN-
manuel did, but not through knowledge
from any one in Penn's Grove. BY be.
ing in last year and having written pre-
viously about it Emmanuel was the
only School in Penn's Grove notified of
the meeting to form a combination.
| published the letter as an advertise
meut, OH request as it is my business as
a publisher, it not at all interfering
with orders for the combination excur-
sion printing. There had been ample
time for the withdrawal of the adver-
tisement between getting out the pos
ter and publishing the RECORD on Fri
day afternoon.
l did not consider it my business as a
Publisher to question his authority, as
he did not and had not said a word in
regards to the excursion since the first
call and as he did not request or say a
word to nae in regards to the excursion
printing it Vas mere presuming on his
part TO think that 1 should put st. Paul
on the posters, when l had no order
from him nor further orders from the
committee thai ordered May Sth.
1t was not Emmanuel Schools bEsi-
ness to seek a negotiation until asked
or her rights had been trespassed upon
and the rights were not trespassed upon
until il was published that st. Paul
was in the combine without Emmanuel
consent, which had never having been
asked for. Then the School took action
to see by what authority they were 60
ing to claim a share of profits in the
territory pre- empted by prior arrange
ments and agreement with other
schools. Then the objections were
made known by Mr.. Crompton, l hay
ing not been present when the School
took action. At the interview Mr..
Leap admitted that he was aware that
Emmanuel School might object, that
he thought lie was under no obligations
to consult with the school, that it had
no authority, and that the persons who
called upon him had referred him to
ME in regards to the printing. On the
statement by Mr.. Leap that st. Paul
did not seek this excursion for pecuni-
AIRY benefits, but merely as an outing
for the School, Mr.. Crompton made the
proposition that st. Paul ~patronize the
excursion and that Emmanuel treat
their children as their own. 1t was
rejected.
| wrote the chairman of the excur-
sion committee and be wrote me, II
want 10 say in the first place st. Paul
have never been invited by me or any
one else. They asked permission 10
enter the combination which was
granted, not knowing of any objec-
%tions."
AS st. Paul's admission was not i'll
terfering, in the least, with the two
schools out of five which had granteds
the request nor did it concern them, it
was a mere act OF courtesy on their
part, aud if Mr.. Leap was not, he
should have been referred to Emman-
uel School for satisfactory arrange.
ments. That was never sought and
Emmanuel was never recognized as
having any authority oil rights in the
matter.
AS the controversy ends with St.
Paul's withdrawal aud as Emmanuel
School acted only in self defence to
maintain her tights and best interests,
we trust their will be no hard feeling
and welcome every uay ON the cXcur-
sion. w. A. SUMMERILL.

Leap insisted ou his explanation l
