Makes Apologies.

Council Bluffs Presbyterian Pasto
Makes Apologies.
Special to Times I.epuhllcan
Council Bluffs, Jan. 27.-Rev. Mar.
Gus P Mcclure. pastor of the Frs
Presbyterian church, where the meet
ing was held one week ago last night
which was addressed by Attorney Cen
eral II. w. Byers on law enforcement
in his sermon yesterday morning made
Il lengthy apology to his people for the
turn the meeting took, and for th'
personalities which Rev. McClur.
spoke of as having been indulged ir
by Mr.. Bvers.
Rev. Mcclure, in stating his position
upon the matter, said that arrange
ments fo. holding the meeting were
hurriedly made and that he did not
consult the session, as was his custom
in such matters, but assumed the re-
sponsibility of inviting the other mem
bers of the ministerial association to
hold the meeting there. He said that it
never occurred to him that any per-
sonalities would be brought out. He
said that every lover of the church and
the church itself should share her re-
sponsibileies. Mr.. Mcclure said he
wanted TO take the responsibility for
it all, ard said that "there was not a
man with whom he had talked. and
they were many. but who had eN-
pressed regret that there was anything
political or personal in the meeting"
Reference was made to sermon
preached by him one year ago on law
enforcement, when he took the po-
sition that If the laws We're too Sc
we're they should be repealed, but be-
lieving the laws should nevertheless be
enforced. He said, however, that he
did not indulge in personal attacks in
support of his position on law enforce
ment.
Rev. Mcclure said that General By
ers was responsible for what he said
and that he (the pastor) was respon-
sible for the meeting having been held
in the First Presbyterian church, a
responsibility he had no desire to es-
cape. He drew an illustration by say
ing that sometimes people were dis
appointed and hurt by guests in their
homes, in which case the guests and
not the host We're to be censured
