PECIALA
Chicago. Feb. 23.-From fellow-min!sters
the Reverend Frederick E. Hopkins has
brought a storm of criticism upon himself
because in his sermon Sunday evening at
Pilgrim Congregational Church he scored
Hetty Green for foreclosing a mortgage OF
sl2.O 900 on the old Fifth Presbyterian Church.
The subject of the sermon was:
rs the Church a Failure? Or the Differ
ence Between Hetty Green and Christ's
Friends. Mary and Martha"
Said the Reverend Clarence Abe,, pas-or
Of Trinity Church,:
1.-The church has not asked Hetty Green
to cancel the mortgage. nor is such a thing
expected. A church debt should be as sa-
cred as any other debt To pay is simply a
what a lot Of ROTH said the Reverend
NJ. P. Boynton, pastor of Lexington Avenue
Baptist Church: ITO expect the holder Of
grounds of Christianity, after the money
has been borrowed in good faith. is nothing
less than a hold-up."
observed the Reverend NJ. NJ. Parkhurst. at
the Monday meeting of the Methodist min
listers; H does not know what he is talk
their debts.
Many money lenders will not advance
money on church property unless rich mem zen,
ally responsible. simply because of the feel
ing that seems to prevail go often that a

good Christian unless he makes the church
a present Of it when it falls due. This sort
of thing should be stopped"
The Board of Trustees of this poor little

Mr.. Hopkins is as follows: President, H. N.
Higginbotham secretary. William Alton,
treasurer, Hugh Heron: Judge A. o. Hart0n,
NJ. A. Allen. Myron L Pearce. J. B. Devlin.

The list of members includes some of the
wealthy and prominent citizens of the city.
Furthermore the church haa at least three
times the sum required to meet the debt
