AT BAR OF JUDGMENT.
pr. Gladden. Talks of Rockefeller and
 Standard Oil.

Standard Oti.
 Columbus, O., April 22.-Rev. pr. Washington Gladden., Moderator of the General Council of the Congregational Church, will meet with the committee which presented the protest against the acceptance of MT. Rockefeller gift to the American Board of Foreign Missions in Boston next week. when steps will probably be taken to secure an expression from the church at large on the matter.
 Dr. ~adden's reply to Dr. Lyman Abbott, who took the position that the church has no right to judge the giv- CTS of gifts, will be published in an Eastern magazine next Monday. Dr. Gladden. will say in his reply that 1t Is not only his right and his duty to sit in judgment on Rockefeller and his methods, but that 1t is also the duty of every American citizen to do so.
 Of course," he said. it Is under stood that John D. Rockefeller Is q factor in the economic. political and social life of this people with whom we are dealing.
 MT. Rockefeller is not simply a pri- vate person. He Is the representative of a great system, which has become a public enemy. It is our duty as a people to judge this gigantic monopoly. The Congregational people must bear out their part of this responsibility. Because they are judged. they must not accept gifts from those whom they are called to judge.
 Tt Is true that this company is not the only one now at the bar of judg- ment. But this aggregation is first and worst of these spoilers and the man at the head of 1t Is the incarna- ton of the spirit and the methods with which the people of the United States have a deadly warfare to wage in the years before us. It is Idle to say that we can take this mans money and then turn and fight him. It is not an honorable thing to do. It is not dealing fairly with MT. Rockefeller, He does not give this money with any such understanding; he would not have given 1t if he had expected us to set ourselves in array against him"
