TAKE THIS GOLD
Final Action on ROckefel- :
Ier's Gilt Deferred.
The Committee Recommend its ACcep'
tance, But the Protestants Ask
Two Weeks Delay and This
is Granted.
~ the Assoclated Press.) }

Boston. Mass, March 29.-The
American Board of Commissioners for
foreign missions announced today that
its prudential committee had accepted
a report of the subcommittee, recon-
mending the acceptance of the gift
of 100000 by John ID. Rockefeller,
but that final action on the matter
had been postponed for two weeks.
The report of the subcommittee, in
the language of statement issued
by the board today was received and
accepted as expressing the unanimous
Judgment of the prudential commit
tee and the executive officers, and
was to the effect that the committee
could not accede to the protest of those
who objected TO the acceptance of the
gift The report also stated that the
gift was offered by Mr.. Rockefeller
and unanimously accepted by the pru-
Dental committee ON February IA
last Ii SAYS that i'm accepting the gift
the committee followed the universal
custom of the church in the past, lin
receiving upon its affairs the gifts OF
all who were moved to lay them there
on"
The reports holds that the accept
ance of a gift involves no expression
on the part of the committee as TO
the character of the giVers and 10 re-
fuse a gift made TO others in order 10
express an opinion seems inwarrant-
able"
The reason for deferring final action
is given as follows:
"Inasmuch as the protestants have
requested delay. the committee will
hold final action in abeyance for two
weeks
Summing up the arguemnts of the
different proteStants the report says
they practically declare that the donor
of this gift is believed TO be Identified
i'm a conspicuous way with great
evil i'm this country and that therefore
the board should refuse the gift in
conspicuous way, thus striking blow
at the evil. I'VE feel" says the report
on this point, that the protestants
have other ways of making their
views known and that the blow should
not be struck at the expense of the
people i'm the non-Christian world.
Rev. Mr.. Evans. Chairman of the
protesting committee, said today:
"A meeting of the committee has
been called for tomorrow TO discuss
the report ana TO decide upon the
next step. The protestants are grow
ing i'm number throughout the coun-
try. both inside and without the Con-
gregational church. More and more
representative men are coming over
to our side. The matter is not settled
by any means.
