/ Rev. Herbert a. Jump, who has left New
Britain, Conn, for Oakland, Calf, to become
a pastor of the fifth largest Congregational
church in the country, in delivering his vale
dictory to the South Church in New Britain,
created SO great sensation that some of the
leading members of the church, including
some of its officers, walked out, neglecting 10
shake the hand of the pastor or wish him fare
we'll He said in part:
81 have tried to preach and nve the gospel
/ of a ministering Christ 50 the community
would know believed in it. If had succeed
ed by words and deeds should have helped
few people, some inside and some outside of
the church, to think of their Master more
affectionately.
"As have proclaimed my message some of
you have not agreed with it. In particular
some of you who held Office in our church
have not agreed with me- l wish l might
have won you over to my point of view, but
fear this is too much to expect. Whenever a
church cares more for respectabiity than for
humble service, whenever it is prouder of its
organ and brownstone front than it is of the
/ poor people who seek its pews for worship,
/ whenever it regards itself polite religious
1 club, with its clergyman errand boy to do
its bidding, rather than regiment marching
into battle with its minister .leading the
charge, then its days are numbered, and the
Lord will sooner or later cast out that church
as Improbable servant.
