USED CHURCH AS
CONCERT HALL
Bronx Congregational Society
All but Disrupted.
PASTOR OBJECTS STRONGLY Y
Nearly 200 Members Threaten 10 Leave
Il the Union Is Barred, and Others
VIII Leave II II Isn't.
PASTOR OBJECTS STRONGLY

New York, Oct. s.--The decision of the
Congregational church. at One Hundred
and Sixty-sixth street, declaring that the
Bronx Choral union would have 10 cease
using the church as public concert
hail. has caused hard feeling among the
congregation, and more than 200 OF them
threaten to attend some other place OF
worship.
The Choral union was organized two
years and a half ago. 1t was originally
intended that the union be extended to all
churches in the Bronx, but this plan did
not succeed. and the Bronx Choral union
became identified only with the Forest
Avenue Congregational church. 1t has
about two hundred members, many OF
them singers OF local fame we'll known in
Bronx society.
A rehearsal was held every week in the
church and six or seven concerts were
given IN the course OF each season. About
| a year ago the first bit of opposition
from the members OF the church who did
| not belong ITO the union was manifested.
| This was when the union gave grand
concert and reEsoved the pulpit and erect
| ed a stage In its place.
The Rev. DR.. Reuch pastor of the
| church. expressed himself very forcibly.
| He said:
1--WE cannot tolerate the use OF this
| church as a concert hall. A theatre would
| be more fitting.
He had many followers, as did the
| union.
| An appeal was made by the dis
| grunted members TO the board OF trus-
| tees. They were asked 10 put a stop to
| the concert hall musicales and to re-
| quest the members OF the union to @hold
/ their concerts elsewhere.
The board OF trustees let the matter 60
| through their next meeting without any
| action This resulted In an entire new
| board of trustees being elected TO office
| last spring There was much talk at the
time, and break In the church aimos'
| resulted.
Edwin d. Knowles. chairman OF the
new board, was most active In agitauns
| the move to get the Choral union TO va
| cate. He succeeded last Saturday night
| when the board OF trustees met. In get
ting his fellowmembers TO act on th'
troublesome question. The board decided
| that the Choral union must get out, ant
| yesterday ordered the secretary TO SO In
| struct the members Of the union.
| No end OF talk has been stirred UP b.
| this decision of the board. The union ha
many followers who wish them TO hol'
their concerts in the church. And tn
| other faction Is equally large.
The members OF the union have decides
70 ioin another church. where they vii
| be allowed to hold their concerts, an
| many of their adherents have promise
| 10 leave the Forest Avenue church an
| go with them.
