Missionary Cossum Snubbed For His
Criticism of Rockefeller.
PITTsBURG, May 26-The Baptist an.
niversarics, which have been going on
in the Fourth Avenue Baptist church
since May IL, are ended.
All who have attended these ami
versaries say they have been the most
profitable and enthusiastic of any held
for many years.
Before the final meeting was for.
mally opened all foreign missionaries,
with one exception, were invited to
the platform. This exception was Rev.
w. II. Cossum of China. This omis-
ZION is believed to have been no acci-
dent. Mr.. COssum is the missionary
who caused the only unpleasant in CT
dent of the anniversaries by his impu.
tation on the character of John ID.
Rockefeller, and the opinion of many
was that the failure to invite him to
the platform was a further protest by
the officials as to the remarks made by
him.
Rev. Mr.. Cossum occupied seat
close to the front and there was
rather set expression on his face.
The missionaries made addresses ON
their work.
The nomination committee made
