R0CkEFELLER'S MONEY
MISSION BOARD MAKES REPLY
Answer to Letter Of Protesting Minis
ters-Regret Harsh Tone Of criti-
eisms-Oo not PaIliate Wrong.

New Haven. Conn, May 17.-In n
letter acknowledging the receipt from
the committee OF protesting ministers
OF documents bearing on the recent ac-
ceptance of the Rockefeller donation
TO the American Board Of Commission
ers of Foreign Missions. the pastors of
Congregational churches In New Ha-
ven, with the exception OF Rev. A. j.
Haynes OF the United Church, have
Jointly given expression to their views
In the matter.
The pastors In their letter say that
while reluctant to express their views,
some extraordinary statements OF the
protestants call for an aswer. They
deplorc any unnecessary and harsh
criticisms OF missionary societies.
The letter says I'VE notice with
regret the following words: The
courts can be bought. the legislatures
can be bought. the churches can be
bought. but the American people
cannot be bought Such unqualified
words under other circumstances
might be passed by without serious no
tice. but when addressed by num-
Der of Congregational ministers to
their brethren, they cannot be left un-
challenged. This statement. so sweep
ing in its condemnation of legislatures.
SO calumnious OF the judiciary. so un-
just to our churches. we would repu-
diate as untrue in fact and socially de
structive in its effect.
1--WE desire also expressly to dis
avow the assumption that by the ac-
ceptance OF such donations. or by the
use of any mans gift OF that which Is
lawfully his own. the trustees of a
charity enter into an alliance with
him In his business. become 'yoke-fel-
lows with him In wrong practices. or
In any way compromise themselves
with questionable methods OF corpora
tions.
I'VE wish decisively to deny your as
sumptions that. while sustaining the
actions of the American board. we are
not free as We have always been in
our puipits to rebukc any wrongs that
mey be exposed In our economic sys-
TEN.
I'VE In turn must protest when you
insist that because of our customs or
principles concerning charitable con-
tributions. we are not In sympathy
with the working people. and that our
ministry has become the silenced wit
ness of any threatening social injus.
tice. You have no reasonable or moral
right to SO judge u.s."
