on the part of ministers in its mem.
bership. To avoid further publicity
Of this sort. presumably. and to avert
whatever harm might result from ad-
ditional exploitation Of these unsavory
matters, the conservative element
among the preachers was able to dis.
pose of the various cases without hav.
ing all their details published to the
world. The more radical element was
not pleased with this course Of action.
but was not strong enough to compel
any other. The series Of conference
acts which provoked most controversy
eliminated in the vote by which John

Avenue Church in Chicago. was per.
mitted to withdraw from the ministry
and from the membership Of the
church. In addition to that, Perley
