CHURCH MAY TRY ROCKEFELLER
If Congregational Charges Are Proved
Baptists Can ExpeI Him,

If Congregational Charges Are Proved
Baptists Can Expel Him.
Under the laws of the Baptist church,
John d. Rockefeller may be placed on
trial on charges of extortion made by
Congregational preachers and if the
charges are proved Mr.. Rockefeller may
be expelled from the Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist church, according to a New York
dispatch.
1t is the duty of the church, of its own
motion, to put on trial any members who
have been accused publicly of a misdeed
of any character. The same obligation
that rests upon the church as a whole
rests upon each member of the church as
an individual.
This being the case, opponents of the
Baptist doctrine declare the members of
the Fifth Avenue church will not be
faithful to the church law if they do not
institute proceedings against Mr.. Rookie
Teller at once. Aside from this, it is the
imperative duty of Mr.. Rockefeller, ac-
cording TO the law of the Baptist church,
to demand an investigation.
