ROW OVER 4 SCHOOL
Rev. Mr.. Sanft Objects to the
Project Of Greenville
Turner's.

1t has leaked out that Rev. William
Sanft, of Zion Evangelical Lutheran
Church, on McAdoo avenue, G%reenville,
has taken several members Of the Green
vile Turn Verein severely to task be-
cause of the recent story regarding the
dance, which some said was to take place
on Christmas night at the regular yearly
celebration of the society. What the
clergyman was angry about was the fact
that the programme contained a notice
stating that dancing would follow the en-
tertainment. Another matter on which
the pastor gave his views, so it was said,
was the plan of the Turner's to consum-
mate arrangements for opening a German
school on Sunday in the headquarters on
Danforth avenues. 1t was stated that Mr..
Sanft was adverse to the project, and
could not agree with the members of the
Verein. 1t is alleged hat he is opposed
to the school being held on Sunday, be-
cause it win be detrimental to his Sunday
school. The pastors exact words could
not be learned, as he was reticent when
seen by a reporter of THE News at his
home yesterday afternoon.
Did you say that if the members of
the Turn Verein insisted upon the Sunday
German school, they would either awe to
leave you church or the verein?' he was
asked.
That is a matter upon which I do not
care to be interviewed, ;, he said. 81 have
nothing to say
In reply to several. other questions he
gave evasive answers and always at
tempted to turn the conversation.
So D,e.;5..4 -
Turn verein, when questioned was not
communicative. He was asked if there
was any truth in the rumors regarding
Mr.. SAINTS attitude.
"Of course he said, ''he is entitled to
his own opinion, and if he makes any
public statement regarding the Sunday
German school then he will doubtless be
answered. But I do not know when the
school will be started. Perhaps never. 1
do not care to get into a controversy with
anyone, and therefore dislike to say any
thing
He was then asked the same question
that was put to Mr.. Sanft.
Il refuse to speak on that subject" he
said. He was asked if any remarks had
been passed about Sunday dancing. He
said the programme the
dancing had been prepared months ahead.
w have been celebrating Christmas"
he said. "for thirty years, but l cannot
reeollect dancing ever having taken
place"
did you resign from Pastor Sanft's
church because of the alleged state
ments?"
4 was never a member of the church
and do not know how many of the Turn
ers are affiliated with it,
The Turner's, it is believed, will let the
matter drop.
