Mr.. ALLEN AGAIN.
Bergen Baptist Members
Angry Because Deposed
Pastor Doesn't Rec
ognize Them.

Certain officers and members of the
Bergen Baptist Church. at Clinton and
Madison avenues, are very indignant over
the treatment they are alleged to have
received from the pastor, the Rev John
c. Allen 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Allen was forced OF send his resignation
to the official board, to take effect on
April l, when he will have completed a
five years pastorate. Those who were
directly responsible for Mr. Aliens action,
are the ones who are now entering pro-
tests because he persistently ignores
them.
Various stories are current of pending
disruption in church channels. The resig-
nation of Dr. Frank G. Dessert, which
takes effect when DR.. Allen goes out, now
is said to have been occasfoned prin-
cipally because his sympathy for the
pastor. There are also rumors of lack
of finances occasioned by the falling off
in attendances.
Officers who are in position to give
undeniable facts are. the authority for
these statements. And it all arises, 1t is
alleged, from the position assumed by the
pastor.
An officer said yesterday that Mr. Allen
hau displayed very un-ChriStianlike
spirit in not showing d proper amount Of
respect for his officers and church MEM
bers An instance is known" said he,
where Mr.. Allen deliberately got off the
front of Bayonne car rather than pass
through the rear and meet church Off
GER. Again, at certain society meetings
he has tailed to respect members. He
refused deliberately to notice them This
is considered to be direct insult by
some, and he has been severely criticised
for his peculiar conduct
w hen the history of the recent pro-
ceedings is reviewed. there are ever so
many important matters that have not
come to light 1t was never the intention
OF the congregation or certain members
of it, to perseeute Mr.. Allen. All actions
taken subsequent to his arrival home
from the mountains after his usual sum-
mer vacation were sanctioned by him.
A certain committee waited on him on
his return and broached the. subject of
his retirement, which had been considered
at a meeting held in a members house.
Mr.. Allen, when the facts were presented
keep his word. Then we took action to
force him to do what he promised Be
fore our plans were put in operation his
resignation was handed in. Later, more
out of respect than anything else it was
voted to reject the resignation Mr.. Allen
that church no matter how the congre-
cation voted. He therefore forced his
sympathizers to accept the resignation.
TT nUw appears that be is attempting
to even up old scores by his actions He
has been told that his attitude was not
looked upon with favor, but he has noth-
ing to say.
This official was asked If ii we're true

said that It was only two true and that
