DELAY The CALL
East Orange Reformed Church Will Seek
Further knowledge Of Summit
Mans Doctrinal Beliefs.

Action on the selection of a successor
to the Rev. DR.. George S. Bishop, as
pastor of the First Reformed Church.
East Orange, was deferred at a meeting Of
the congregation and consistory last night.
DIR. Bishop, who Is pastor-emeritus, tele-
graphed TO the meeting to Elder Andrew
A. Clark to plead with the people and
consistory to defer action on the selection
of the Rev. w. Warren Giles, of SUM
nit. who was favored for the pastorate,
until such time as they were more per-
fectly satisfied as TO the r a9ctr w,ab a was
respected.
sistory favored calling the Summit clergy
man, but at a vote Of the congregation
1t was decided to await a closer investiga-
ton by the consistory as to the candidates
qualifications and doctrlnal leanings: Elder
Clark voiced the congregation when he
said: -
"Another reason for not extending the
call at this time is that sufficient thought
was not given to what may PERI PERHAPS ps,,, pc
have a far-reaching and perhaps adverse
effect upon the comfort aud peace OF the
congregation; for example, nothing seems
to have been learned as to the. views OF
DIR. Giles on the question of fairs, enter
tainments or other methods OF work Whicn
we have, always ,vehemently opposed, be,
1ieving them to be not only detrimental
but entirely u~nscriptural. Finally, l op-
posed this/ motion because that In the
opinion or certain members OF the cnufcu

have been heretofore considered vital, and
which, IL our suspicious are justified, would
In a short time tear in pieces and cast t.
the winds many of the principles earnest

whole pastorate.
II am not e~ndeavoring to influence votes
for or against DIR. Giles. All / plead for

responsible to God in an effort to guard
this pulpit from the pollutions of the
higher criticism or any other preaching
that would subvert the doctrines we have
us claim to love as we do our lives. Is
1t too much then that / ask your help
In an effort to postpone action until we
are assured beyond ~peradventure that this
man rings true?"

Schol Commissioned ]. Edward Fro
bisher, of the Kearny Board of Education,
voiced the sentiments of nearly every
member of That body at its regular meet
ing last night when he accused former
Supervising Principal Don c. Bliss of
unfair treatment of the board by his al
legged peculiar and uncalled" for actions
relative to his accepting a position else
where only two days after executing his
new contract with the Kearny board.
Commissioner Froblsher during his re-
marks upon the motion to defer action
on the resignation made by COMMISSIONS
Frank c. Plat, chairman of the special
instruction committee, said:
THE dcmeanor of Mr.. Bliss In this mat
ter is unusual. Mr.. Bliss saw fit to
bind this board for fear he might not
make connections in Brocton, and now,
after he has secured the place sought,
and the contract executed, he comes to us
abruptly and says he Is going away. His
action has placed this board in a peculiar
position. l am heartily In favor of lay
ing the resignation over
After e-President George Putnam had
Endorsed Mr.. Frobisher's stand, the mo
ing the resignation over"
While there were no further remark
outside of this hearty Endorsement of tbs
presiding officer. Vice-Preslden George
Rutman upon the question, the voting at
tested the feeling of the board regarding
the matter as 1t was unanimously car
ried.
Conferences before and after the meet
ing amorg the commissioners of the man
ner in which Mr.. Bliss Severed his con-
n~ectlons with the schools was warmly dis
cussed and many points brought out that
will prevent another such act If adopted.
THE Safe law hold that the contract
with Mr.. Bliss is void outside OF the
State" said Commissioners Frobisher, but
we can lay his resignation over, which
will prevent him from returning to the
State in school work"
1t was said that two days after Mr..
Bliss had executed the new contract he
advised President S, Arthur Brown that
he was going to Brockton, Mass, which
was the only inkling the board had had
OF his intentions. That his old position
is a coveted one is attested in the fact
that over sixty applications have been re-
ceiyed for the place, fourteen of the can
didates appearing before the board al
ready to press their lain The matter
will be taken up at a special meeting to
be called at an early date.
