RECTOR RAISES A RUMPUS.
Jersey City Pastor In Hot Water For
Censuring His Flock.

New York, Nov Rev. Pereival c.
Pyle. rector of Grace Episcopal church.
in the Greenville district of Jersey City,
created decided sensation among his
parishioners on Sunday morning. In his
Sermon he charged that the church was
deteriorating with startling rapidity.
When I came here, four years ago, he
said, 1.-The old vestry had nearly wiped
out the church debt. Then a. new vestry
was chosen. and they have done nothing
but increase the debt, until 1t has almost
reached 8. coo. The congregation does not
do its part toward sustaining the. church.
Some of the men, I am told spend
their money on tobacco and in saloons in
stead Of giving one-tenth Of it to the sup
port of the church which is sadly in need
of its tithes. I have made calls through
out the parish, as my duty commands.
and in some places I have had the doors
slammed in my face. have even been
stoned in the street and have been SLAM
dered in public"
One of the members said that the rec
tors assertions were wild and unreliable.
las to the use of tobacco, he said, that
is all nonsense The rector himself is
addicted to the use of the weed. The
members of the church are sick and tired
of the whole business He has made trou-
Bile for US before and we do not intend to
stand this sort of abuse any longer"
