OIL. KINGS GIFT
As. PIRATE BOOTY
DR.. GLADDEN. Says Church Pro-
claims Right to Take Money
Which Crime Has Gained.

Columbus, April 13.-When informed
of the final acceptance by the prudential
committee Of the Rockefeller gift, Rev.
Washington GLADDEN., D. D., authorized
this sta tement: Ill.,.
The prudential committee has placed
itself on tho broad and Ineligible posi-
ton that all gifts must be received, no
matter what may be the character of the
giver nor by what immoralities or crimes
his gains may have been gathered
No discrimination is henceforth to be
made. The pirate or the trainrobber
may bring his booty to the treasury of
the American Board, and it will be thank
fully received. and, if sufficiently large
will be described as a magnificent gift
BY the decision the prudential com.
mittee rejects the word of him who said
II hate robbery for burnt offerings" and
reverses the ethical judgment respecting
the rewards Of iniquity which has guided
Christendom hitherto. It openly proclaims
that money to which the giver has no
moral right may be rightfully given to a
missionary society if only his motive IS
to do good with it, and It assumes the
power Of judging the motive Of the giver.
1t knows and declares to the world that
there can be no motive but that of be-
,nevolence in the bestowal of this gift
That is a great testimony from such a
high authority From Inis decision the
appeal will now be taken to the con-
science of the Congregational churches
and the conscience of Christendom.
