John D. Rockefeller's donation to the
Congregational body was accepted and
/ has been disbursed in spite of the op-
position, which materialized too late to
prevent the reception of the sum.
The gift was not tabooed by all in the

partments of the church should be en-
riched

penses, but was designated for certain of our
educational Institutions in India. Japan and
Turkey for buildings and equipment They
are institutions devoted to the training of ma
tive converts for evangeistic and other forms
OF Christian service.
It does not help us on our regular appropria-
tions, but is of very great value in improving
our educational plant.
do not wish to criticize those who object
to our receiving this money, they en-.
titled TO their own opinions. which are un-
doubtedIy given with the utmost sincerity.
All aspects of the matter were carefully con-
sidered over a month ago by our prudential
committee at Boston when the money was first
offered, and the gift was unanimously ac-
cepted with gratitude under sense OF its en-
tire propriety.
This is not the first time Mr.. Rockefeller has
contributed generously to Congregational in
sttutions. In recent years he has made hand
some donations to Oberlin University in Ohio;
to Mount Holyoke College. Mass. and to
Wellesley College near Boston
1t is of course, known. that Mr.. Rookie
feller has contributed to the Baptist Foreign
Missionary Board something like $500, 900 a
year Those who would have refuse this
money would practically require US to take the
position of censors of these other institutions
and the whole Baptist denomination of which
Mr.. Rockefeller is member in good and regu-
lar standing.
The gift has already been appropriated to
the Institutions designated by Mr.. Rockefeller.
