CL|NGS TO CONFESSION
Father" Pyle, it is Said,
Will Hear Pretty Peni-
tents at His Hluje.

A meeting Of the Vestry of Grace P. E.
Church. Ocean and Pearsall avenues, is
scheduled for April 16 The rector, the
Rev. Percival c. Pyle, will be present.
He is expected to make the proceedings
exceedingly lively
1t is said that Mr. Pyle is very angry
because the proceedings of the last Yes
try meeting became public. 1t is said
that there was secret compact to the
effect that members should not divulge
any facts connected with the agreement
made by Mr.. Pyle to abolish the confess
sional Since the facts have become
known it is said Mr.. Pyle has openly de-
clared that he will receive confessions at
his house at any time of the day or night.
The previous agreement provided that no
confessions should be received in the
church.
Referring to this matter last night, a
member of the church said that if Mr..
Pyle persisted in this course, which is an
tagonistic to the wishes of the congrega-
ton, the vestry would probably endeavor
to devise plans to bring Mr.. Pyle to terms.
Since Mr. Pyle assumed charge OF the
Grace Church about three years ago, lie
has shown a tendency at various times To
change parts of the service, to CONFORM
with that OF the High Church. The OBJ
jections of the congregation were Sc
strenuous that Mr.. Pyle realized that II
harmony was to be maintained, services
| would have to be conducted according &c
| the wishes of the congregation.
Until recently he clung tenaciously Z
the confessional. without attracting mucf
notice. When the vestry learned ina
penitents from other churches came u
Mr.. Pyle to confess it insisted that hi
| should abolish this part of the Hlgf
Church service, as it was distasteful K

| Mr. Pyle has also assumed the title O.
! 'fFather,'' which also displeases part O
