! nacIe Must Come Down.
The eight ministers who invited Rev
! Sam Jones TO Savannah and supported
him during the meetings he conducted
in this city. held a meeting yesterday
! morning at the pastors study at Yves
ley Monumental Church. Those present
were Rev Ed. f. Cook of Wesley Rev.
Bascom Anthony OF Trinity Rev. John
D. Jordan of the First Baptist. Rev.
D. S. Edenfield of the Southside Baptist,
Rev. ". A. Nisbet of the Second Pres
byterian Rev. Osgood f Cook of Grace,
Rev. j. A. Smith of the EpwOrth Metho-
dist and Rev. william McCorkle of the
First Presbyterian Church.
There was no law and order discussion.
One of the ministers said after the
meeting that the ministers have abso-
lutely nothing TO do with the Law and
Order League. They are members of it,
but that is all. They are not on the Elk
ecutive Committee. One thing. he said,
however, that he does know about the
organization, and that is that it has 2S00
members, and not twenty-seven MEM
bers. as he had been informed one OF
the board of aldermen has stated.
Rev. Mr. Nisbet said that it had been
agreed by the eight to have "a little out
ing al Tybee next Monday The party is
not to be exclusive however. The eight
framed it up, but any other members of
the Ministerial Association, Mr.. Nisbet
said. who may care to take the trip with
them, will be cordially welcomed. 1t is
the intention of the ministers 10 get down
by the ocean and talk over~matters, shape
up new plans for the very stout compe-
tition they have started with Yheir
friend, the enemy, and hold a meeting
for the discussion of any matters that
may be regularly brought before them.
One of the very agreeable features of the
day will be fish dinner.
The ministers want to carry out their
contract with the city and have the Tab
ernacle removed from the Park Exten-
sion. One of them said that he doesn t
care particularly about the city but that
he would like to see the Tabernacle TAX
en- down because of the military, to whom
he feels under greater obligations for the
use of the ground than to the city. In
structions were issued to Mr.. j. G. Blaine,
representing the owners of the building,
to have the building down by next Fri
day. If it is not down, then one of the
ministers said, they will pull it down
themselves.
A committee. with Rev. DR.. Jordan as
chairman, was appointed to draft suitable
resolution of thanks to all who were in
any way concerned in the success of the
Sam Jones meetings. There was some dis
cussion about leaving out the City Coun-
ell, but the dissenting VOICE did not pre-
vail. and the Council will come in for its
share of thanks.
DR.. IT. S. Clay has suggested the estab-
lishment of a mission similar in scope to
the McCauley Mission of New York and
has asked the ministers to take the mat
ter up President Nisbet of the Minis
ters' Association appointed the following
committee to look into the matter. Rev.
DIR. Jordan, Rev. Ed. f. Cook, and Rev,
Mr.. McCorkie. The committee will make
a report at its convenience. The mis-
sion, It is suggested, should be establish
ed in the eastern section of the city, on
or near Oglethorpe avenue, east.
