Il assume that the present authoritative
test Of Democracy is the Chicago platform
of 1896. Some. al least. OF the men who
make this objection To NE are men who op-
posed that platform. As for myself | have
defended and advocated it for four years in
nearly every State in the Union and before
more pecpi. than anybody except Mr.. Bryan
himself. So far as the new issues. so-caIIed
are concerned. no man, in my opinion. VIII

sympathize with the spirit OF the Chicago
platform.
'All Of the issues are only specific forms

Attempt by the Reverend Doctors
Burnham and Patton to Con.
ciliate Them Fails.
MAJORITY HAVE WITHDRAWN.

ThemSciyes-COnncil to Look
Into the Case May Meet
in the Fall.

The forty-four members Of Hope CcnSre.
gati9nal Church who Withdrew from the
ccnG-e cation few weeks ago On account OF
the enforced resignation of the Reverend A.
Lincoln Shear. met by invitation last nfxft
1T the home of l. II. Geisler, No. 53S3 Eas-
ton avenue
The meeting was arranged at the request
Of the Reverend Doctors VI. Burnham and
c. II. Patton. who hoped TO find some means
OF adjusting the differences. Instead Of do
ing so. the peacenakers learned that tweur
ty-four additional members are on the point
OF reEisn;ng: which means the church win
be left with less than half of its communi-
Cants
IL is claimed by members Of the with
drawing majority that they represent much
more Than - per csnt of the financial
strength OF th. church. as we'll as the
working element"
Numerous spiri;e, addresses were made
at the meeting. and both Doctors Burn
ham and Patton appealed to the dissatis-
fed ones not 70 fOrsake the church in itS
present condition These addresses and
pleas had the effect of bringing the ques-
tion down 10 a practical basis. and Il was
finally agreed by the dissruntied ones that
they would remain. provided five leading
members or the congregation were forced
bringing about this end. an agreement was
found impossible and nothing definite was
accomplished.
As final appeal. Doctors Burnham and
Patton asked the withdra wing MEMBERS not
to connect themselves with other churches
at present. and X was decided to form them
into a temporary organization for the re-
malndoT OF the summer. This plan met
general favor. and Il was agreed that the
sixty-eSht would rent hall in the neigh
boThoUd OF Belt and Easton avenues and
arrange to have preaching regularly.
This temporary organization may form
the nucleus OF a new Congregational Church
in the West End. but it Is still hoped that
some means of bringing them back into
Hope Church will be found.
As n last effort TO this end it Is probable
a church council will be called in the fall
to consider the whole case and to hear
charges which have been prepared against
the five members against whom the great
est objection Is raised.
