ROCKEFELLER GLASS
 MAKES PROTEST
Its Notices Come b5 Postal Card and the Irreverent Make Small Jests
 Want Envelopes Used

Protest has been made to President 1roxell of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church Bible class, led by John D. Rockefeller Jr., that some of the Rock, efeiler Bible students are being "guyed because they are members of the class, says the New York Times. At the same time MT. Troxell has been informed that the cause of this may be easily removed.
 The secretary of the class sends out postal cards to the members. These bear the printed information that they come from young Rockefeller's pet Sabbath institution. As many of the members who receive them live in boarding houses and mingle with out siders who have tendency to scoff, they have been guyed from time to time by their unholy fellow lodgers.
 The postal card notices cost cent each, exclusive of the cost of ink and the labor of filling in the blank spaces. A cent more spent for postage and a few scents more spent for the cost of paper and envelope would mean the end of the "guying' of the class members by their unconverted boarding house friends and acquaintances.
 President Troxell, however, has not been pleased by the complaint because it suggested that there were members of the class not of the mold heroic eonugh to withstand the batting of the seoffers. Young Mir. Rockefeller has been cartooned and made fun of all over the world because of his Bible class and his Standard Oil affiliations. But he has not flinched and has ire guently declared that he would go ahead and expound the Bible to his class despite the gibes of outsiders.
 He has been expounding right along, too, and the class has been trudging to the church through rain and shine every Sunday morning without com plaint, until the constant flow of Bible class postal cards in the boarding houses of some of the members began to cause trouble.
 John H. Smith, one of the old time members, man of Scotch descent, poor but a thinker and devout, said yester- day that it began to pail on him to have the man in the large front room ad- joining the hall bedroom to ask him regularly every time he got postal card how many shares of Standard Oil he got for attending the Rockefeller classes.
 "These minimizing people bother me-" he said, "as they do no doubt many another member, whenever I get postal card. I am going to try to have the secretary of the class use en- velopes and writing paper next year, and when we meet next week l Tn going to bring up the natter
 Yesterday was Mir. Rockefeller's $ last day at Bible teaching until next fall. He said, however, that he did not care to say goodbye now, and had been thinking over some form of entertain ment at which all might gather for the farewell After careful thought he had decided to call meeting for Monday week, at which they could discuss the work of the last year and the work of the year to come.
 The members will therefore gather in the lecture room of the church a week from tonight and wiring the hand of their leader in parting. While MT. Rockefeller leaves town for the heated term most of his fellow class members will cling to their boarding houses and lodgings.
 Mir. Rockefeller suggested in his talk yesterday that the members take for their motto this summer, "Wateh and Wait. v
