Rev. DR.. c. W Wendte has returned
from his wedding tour, and states that he
has an idea OF leaving his Oakland pas
torate.
a few weeks ago Rev. Father Clarke
made some remarks about DR.. Wendte
that created much comment. Regarding
this circumstance he said: II had very
nice letter from Father Yorke before /
went East apologizing for the slurs of
Father Clarke, and stating that upon the
first occasion which presented itself
Father Yorke would publicly square
things, so to speak. This / see he has
done. / answered his communication and
thanked him for his offer. With regard
to Clarke, this is not the first time he has
attacked me. 1t has occurred several
times already and you cannot tell what
he might say.
az do not think these religions contro-
versies do any good whatever, but instead
injure religion in general and cause hard
feelings. Then the other side has not
been inclined to deal gentlemanly with
the matter altogether. | think we have,

discussion whatever on the subject unless
it can be friendly and ali these ungallant
personalities eliminated. am not through

party to any more controversies. I may

though in different form. have several
new facts and phases or the question. and
when l have time I believe I shall use

"Our principal sojourn was in Boston,
where filed the pulpit of the Rev. NJ. J..
Savage in Unity Church. There l spoke
seven or eight times to large congrega-
tions.
II noticed that telegrams have been
sent over the country announcing my in
tention to accept call to the church, but
/ the only truth in the statement is that Mr..
| Savage, who is warm personal friend of
mine, said he would like me TO be his sue
cessor after he accepted his call to New
/ York. This he has done, but l have 40
| intention of taking the church. for prefer
/ my own parish and my sphere of useful
ness in California"
Speaking on the political conditions of
! the country, DR.. Wendte said: ut is quite
curiosity to see a silver man again. 1t
/ may seem strange, but during my entire
! trip East l did not run across one ex-
! ponent OF silver anywhere and / was
around a great deal. II is gold so far as
/ the East is concerned. Coming out West
/ the silverites are more plentiful. In the
Middle Western States they are well rep
resented and there will be the battle. /
firmly believe if the question were put to
vote to-day, that silver would win out.
However,we are going to see great strug-
gle between the East and the West"
