Charlotte, N. c., May 26.-The Off
cial board of Trinity Methodist Epis-
copal Church today gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
1.-The official board of Trinity Church
have given their pastor, Rev. j. A. +.
Fry, at his request, summer Vaca-
ton, to begin at once. This will give
Mr. Fry an opportunity of carrying out
a long cherished desire to spend the
summer at some of the summer theo-
logical schools. He expects also to
attend the meeting of the Epworth
League Conference in Denver, Colo
RADIO"
1t is understood from an authorita-
tive source that there is a possibility
of Mr.. Frys not returning to this
charge. While he is honored and
loved here as man of high aims and
blameless life, it is thought that, owing
to troubles of a purely private nature,
his coming back would entail pain
from which he would naturally shrink;
therefore it is thought that he will re-
sign the pastorate and find u field OF
equal usefulness elsewhere.
