WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN THESE
One Believes in Kiss, the Other
Would XIII for the Bliss.

Would Kill for the Bliss.
UTICA, N. Y, March 8. - The
Right Rev. Charles T. Olmsted, bish-
OPP of the Episcopal diocese of central
New York, does not believe that a
clergyman should be forced to resign
his pastOrate for asking a pretty
young woman of his flock for a kiss.
Bishop Olmsted announced his at
titude in this regard in an interview
last night on the subject of the
troubles of the Rev. e. Warren Spa
hare of Syracuse. The bishop stated
that he would stand by the Rev. Mr.,
Spahare, who is pastor of All Saints
church, Syracuse, and who, after ad-
hitting charges in this direction and
presenting his resignation, has now
withdrawn it and will fifht to live
down the scandal which has resulted
from his reported action,
Bishop Olmsted said:
81 certainly shall stand with the
pastor. He came to Utica with his
warden on Thursday of last week and
laid the whole case before me. From
what / understand and know of It
there is no reason to think that the
request for a kiss was made by the
pastor in any immoral spirit. The
Rev. Mr.. Spahare is growing on to
middle age, has a wife and children,
and his tastes are most domestic.
There is no reason why such a small
indiscretion flor that is all it isl
should cause the man to leave his
church and his religion and ruin his
whole life's work know ministers
who are going around and kissing
the older women of their congrega-
lions and nothing is thought of it.
1t is accepted as a little pleasantly. "

young women of the First Baptist
church of East st. Louis have formed

formerly of Cairo. His opposition to
kissing, dancing and holding hands Is
the cause of their ire.
DR.. Bass became noted at Cairo by
his sensational sermons against mod.
ern women. He declared from the
pulpit that dancing was a cardinal
sin and that kissing before marriage
was an awful thing. The man who
kissed a girl should be shot. he said
