GETS NO SYMPATHY
FROM PRESBYTERY
PREACHERS SUSTAIN THE CON-
GREGATI0N
Rev. r. P. Berry Defends Himself in
Lengthy Statement, but His
Pastoral Relations Are
Dissolved

Sharp personalities were indulged in
at the session of the Los Angeles pres
bytery yesterday at the Emmanuel
Presbyterian church in taking action
in the dissolution of the pastoral re-
lations of Rev. F. P, Berry with the
Highland Park Presbyterian church.
It was a called session at 10 o'clock,
as the result of a congregational meet
ing held at the church few weeks ago
which voted Rev. Mr.. Berry out OF the
pastorate. The presbytery upheld the
action of the congregational meeting.
1t was thought by many that Rev.
Mr.. Berry would accept the decision or
his congregation and ask the presbytery
to dissolve his pastoral relation without
further discussion on his part, but his
lengthy statement in vindication of his
pastorate and the protest against leav-
ing the church changed the aspects or
the situation.
In his statement Rev. Mr.. Berry laid
great stress upon the action of Rev.
John A. Merrill, DIR. Gordan and others
I'm creating the disturbances, causing
himself to be voted out of the pastorate.
"At first" said Rev. Mr., Berry, "Mr.
Merrill was quite profuse to me In his
praises of my sermons and work, which
seemed hypocrltlcal IN view OF ms dc-
tions afterward. He wanted me to put
him In as superintendent OF the Sunday
school. which 1 considered was not we'll
to do. His dissension continued and he
said that he would cut down his sub
scriptions to the church and place his
infuence and money In Occidental col
lege. He said that would not even
take a suggestion and he continually
tried to control me and my methods
He found fault with my manner Of
preaching and in many ways harassed
me. II the underhanded ways had not
been carried on this trouble would not
have occurred. A few dissenting ones
can always drag down the pastor when
he has no way OF defense. In all this
contention the wonder Is that l was not
decapitated.
Much stress has been laid upon the
