the country began 70 pour in upon the members OF
me prudential committee which had the mat
ter IN charge some protesting against accepting
the gift and others urging its acceptance. Some
letters ripped John d. Rockefeller into shreds
metaphorically. while others praised him as a
Christian gentleman. Stin other letters gave
the advice Of the hungry farmer-''Take all YOU

jority Of the letters protested against the gift.

the belief that the hoard would hold on TO II.
The denunciations were not confined to the
Congregational denomination but Baptists

expressing their opinions on tainted money!

II am deeply thankful that Christian min
listers are protesting against receiving Mr.. Rock

way have protested against Mr.. ROckefelAer s

The Rev. HERBERT S JOHNSON. Warren

road rebates and other unjust methods a

IN a personal letter to Mr.. Rockefeller reflected
strongly on the methods by which Mr.. Rocke-
teller acquired his wealth. According to Mr.
Johnson. the letter ran in part as follows:
You are getting to be an old man now John
and you must soon die. Your duty is to meet
the charges which brought against you, or
unable TO do that, acknowledge frankly that
you have sinned, repent and return to those
you have injured the money you have acquired
by unfair means"
l. F. HOOPER, Melvin Village, n. H-The
divines in censuring John D. Rockefeller claim
that the money has been squeezed out OF the
pockets OF the poor and that his method Of
making money has broken many hearts Yes,
the inhabitants OF this remote village Of New
Hampshire have had their hearts broken
through the squeezing Of their pockets by Rock
efeller's method. We can remember when kero-
sene was S1-50 a gallon. For long time It
was fifty cents. When the Standard Oil Trust
was established kerosene went down. To-day
we buy II for fourteen cents gallon, and It Is
OF far better quality. The methods Of John D.
Rockefeller which enable US to purchase oil
for fourteen cents a gallon, have broken our
hearts.

to take the matter seriously to heart. But among
the church people themselves who have to sup
port the little churches and keep up the re-
ligious fervor and enthusiasm all through the
year the doctors story Of decline is heartily
assented to and approved.
They see the Sunday Of their fathers desc
Grated in their estimation. week after week in
such a wholesale and systematic manner that
some of them are inclined to stop and question
the orthodox views of John Wesley and his fol-
lowers in. regard to Sunday observance In addi-
ton TO that many of these excellent and devout
church people are themselves engaged in the
all absorbing business of keeping summer board
ers or thev cater to the wants Of the summer
visitors in various ways In fact large part
OF the annual income of many Of these church
people is obtained IN just this way. And they
increase their facilities for such entertainment
every year. Nor they as rule inclined 10
refuse any service assistance to such Of their
visitors or guests desire to spend Sundays
outside Of the churches and in recreation and
snort not in harmony with the rules of the
sanctuary.
II will he seen therefore that this matter pre-

the present liberal trend of Sunday observance
and the twentieth century notions thereof which
now prevail.
