SCORES BISHOP
AND MINISTERS
Edgeley Pastor Still Sticks to
Idea That Santa Should
Be Eliminated

Fargo. n. D., Dec. 26-Taking issue
with Bishop Robert Mcintyre of the
Methodist church. St. Paul. and with
several other twin city pastors who
have criticised his stand o nthe hold
ing of Santa Claus exercises in the
church, Rev. +. G. Willekes. pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of Edg-
ley, n. d., has issued a sharp reply.
Rev. Mr.. Willekes is now u%pholding
one side of a heated controversy in his
parish at Edgley in an effort to abol-
lsh exercises in the church with Santa
Claus as a features. Rev. Mr.. Willekes
afflrms that the EXERCISES will not be
held and his Sunday school as firmly
takes the stand that they shall be
held.
Rev. Mr.. Wilkes says:
Shocked at Bishops Statement
Il was astonished to the extreme
when l read that a Methodist bishop,
an Episcopal rector and other Profess
tant ministers Of different denomina-
tions in the twin cities were more or
less In favor OF Santa Claus exercises
on Christmas day in the Protestant
church. / knew that Protestant min
listers of various types We're t%oleratnig
such exercises but did not know that
they had the courage of advocating
them. l am especially shocked at
Bishop M%c1ntyre's statement. Would
it not have been better for the WELL
known word painter If he had used his
paint brush against the dissertation Of
the Protestant church on Christmas
day? Has it not the appearance that
he and others who agree with him are
men pleasers' and eye servants?
Why do We celebrate Christmas?
In honor Of a myth as it is said?
Emphatically no. If there is any rea-
son in the world for observing Christ
mas 1t is for what Christ brought to
our world and for what he has done
for us. Let us not crowd him out Of
place and out of view.
Decay Of Professionalism
II do not in the least regret my
original statement from the pulpit.
This speaks volumes for the decay of
Professionalism. No wonder that we do
not find much reverence toward Gods
sanctuary among III young people
nowadays. No wonder that before
Sabbath school commences they run
from the sacred desk t the exit. No
wonder. I say, for if Jesus Christ
would be vet on earth he would cast
the Santa Claus c~elebrators out of the
temple. saying: My house shall be
called of all nations. not only in Eu-
rope but in America also. the house Of
Mark NJ, H."
