| The Religious Herald OF next week
VIII take exception to the statements
made by the Rev. Herbert NJ. Hope upon
the floor of the recent Virginia Confer
ence, concerning the payment to the pa
per OF sums of money for services rem
dered IN connection with the movement;
to Increase the endowment Of Randolph
Macon College. The Herald will say In
part:
OF course. no well-informed reader OF
the Religious Herald needs to be told that
these statements are without foundation
In fact and we are at q loss to know why
they were made We did not charge or
receive one dime for the space used in
the interests Of the Rockefeller movement,
nor one dime for any service rendered in
forwarding that movement. The only
college money that was paid into our
treasury was paid to defray the actual
extra expense incurred for white paper
End printing in four 22-page editions.
These extra pages were rendered neces-
sarv by the great pressure OF editorial and
contributed matter in the interests of the
college movement. which was then at It's
climax and the bin was rendered for the
exact amount which was paid out by us.
The college also ordered $50 extra copies
OF the Herald to be sent In single wrap
pers to special addresses. The whole bill
vas s13t.66. If we had charged for space
and services the bill would not have been
less than $500.
I'VE regret to have to enter into these
details. but we cannot consent to run
tie risk of having any of our brethren
suspect that we are so mercenary as to
demand money for services in a course
like this. AS for the General Association
number the statement of Mr.. Hope has
no foundation intact.
las these statements were made in the
presence of hundreds of Virginia Metho-
dist minister, whose good opinion we
value, and since they. honestly misled.
may repeat them to their Baptist friends
throughout the Commonwealth, we ask
the Advocate. the Recorder and the Dam
vile Methodist to make the needed cor
rection in the interests Of truth and JUS
tice.'
