Or. Burdette's Letter
REV. A. p. Graves Member OF Pulpit
Committee Temple Baptist Church.
'My Dear Brother Graves:
s5efore 1 go away, 1t is borne in upon
me- as the Quakers say, to write to you
and, through you. to the pulpit commit
tee and If the committee deems it well
through that body to the Temple church
concerning my feelings in the matter OF
the pastor for our church.
"Daily this question is in my heart and
thought and daily do go TO the source
of all wisdom seeking right guidance
lest 1 be moved by mere personal I'M
pulse and preference. l try to place my
heart and mind In condition Of absolute
dependence upon and acceptance OF the
will OF the Holy Spirit, and often as l rise
from my knees my heart is filled with a
longing that God will send to our beloved
church our brother, J. Whitcomb Brougher.
'I find IL difficult to select a second can
didate in my preference. / go over the
names of Baptist pastors and preachers
men of great strength OF character and
successful lives. But again and again L
find myself returning 20 Brother Brougher
as the man most peculiarly htted Tor this
pastorate. Personally, my relations with
him always have been pleasant 1 love the
man himself. He would be most cordially
acceptable to me as the under-shepherd or
this flock and as my own pastor win
the conviction that my feelings are guided
by wisdom higher than my own, l com
mend j. whitcomb Brougher to the love
and loyalty OF Temple Baptist church,
pledging myself TO unite with all the
church In extending call to him, and
piedging also my sincere and anectlonate
cooperation OF heart, mind and strength.
should he. under Gods direction, become
our pastor.
'.In the severe trial through which
Brother Brougher passed when our first
call was extended. had and do have the
sincerest sympathy. We cannot at this dis
tanee fully appreciate his experience. Not
only tho loving strength of his own people,
but the influence OF the leading men and
the civic organizations OF Portland brought
to bear upon him a tremendous pressure
Had he been an archangel he would have
resisted all this easily. Being only man
he is very human. While we are in this
body want a man for our pastor-Very
human very sympathetic; very loving; very
much touched with our humanity and
human needs. man absolutely infex-
ible and granite to resist is apt also to be
granite to feel.
MAY the dear Lord lead us Alright and
to His praise In all that we undertake In
His name.
'Faithfully yours,
ROBERT ]. BURDETTE."
Following the session last night the
following telegram was sent to Dr.
Brougher by the pulpit committee:

DIR. BROUGHER IS
URGED TO COME
Rev. DR.. Robert J. Burdette Adds His
Voice In an Eloquent Tribute to
Pastor of oreaon's White
Temple

DR.. ]. Whitcomb Brougher. pastor of
the White Temple. Portland, Ore, has
been asked by unanimous vote to re-
consider the call extended to him by
the Temple Baptist church to its pas
torate last September. This action was
taken in an executive session last even
ing, following the weekly prayer meet
ing, the communication to be sent
through the pulpit committee composed
of the deacons and trustees OF the
church and five members elected for
that purpose.
refused the first call to the Temple
through a misunderstanding brought
about by several letters received from
Los Angeles intimating that his cali
had not been unanimous, and as he
had promised q definite reply TO the
invitation at a certain date, and as he
did not have time to communicate at
length with the church on the subject.
he refused the call at that time. IL IS
hoped that he will reconsider his de-
cision. and 1t is confidently expected
that the unanimous action or the
church lastl night will result in Rev.
DR.. Brougher coming as the successor
of Rev. DIR. Robert j. Burdette.
Following the prayer meeting, az
which Rev. =. S. Henson the stated
supply, presided, Mattison Il. Jones
was selected as chairman of the eXecu-
tive session, and after the hall waf
cleared of non-members the denbera-
tions began behind closed doors. ID.
X Edwards presented the report or
the committee in place OF c. c. Boyn-
ton chairman of the committee, VINO
was absent on account of illness.
The names of those who had beor
considered for the successor OF Dr.
Burdette were given and the various
reasons for their not having been called
TO the position. ., -.
the committee in its work of selection
were the ideas that the Temple churcn
had been built about the personality or
Dr. Rurdette and also that the con-
ditions of church work in Los Angeles
are unusual and therefore dlnicult Tor
the average pastor.
The addresses made by the various
members were met with frequent APP
plause and no seeming opposition was
anDarent among the members, VINO
waived the usual voting by ballot by
making the instructions to the COM
mittee unanimous.
A letter from Dr. Burdette was read,
stating that he would be glad to well
come DR.. Brougher as his successor
and would be much delighted to serve
under his pastorate. DR.. Henson In a
short address also stated that as ne
Intended residing in Los Angeles he
would be glad TO have DR.. Brougher
for his pastor.
DR.. Brougher has filled the pulpit of
the Temple church for two summers
during the vacations of the pastor, ana
is known as one of the prominent Bap-
fist clergymen of the Pacific coast His
