BASHFUL PASTOR
AND HIS FIANCEE
WEREN'T At Church
Too Modest to Face Curious
Eyes After Announcement
of Betrothal, He Says.

The Rev. q Clement Edison. pastor OF
the Noble Street Presbyterian Church in
Brooklyn. put his foot down hard to-
day on published rumors that the stimuli
taneous absence OF himself and the
pretty twenty-year-old soloist In the
church choir. Miss Gertrude Able,
meant that they had gone away to be
married.
The Rev. Mr.. Edison and Miss Able
are engaged to be married and he does
not care who knows Il. But he was
just a little bashful abou, confronting
his congregation Just after the an
nouncement OF the engagement. 50 was
she. And nat was ali their absence
from church meant. he explained to-
day. lie stayed at his home and she
stayed at hers all day yesterday, and
the Rev. Dr. B0sworth Of Ozone Park
preached for him, as arranged by Mr..
Edison after n consultation with his ell
ders during which he laid hts embar-
RAISING situation before them.
Mr.. Edson's first wife died about n
year ago, leaving him with a very young
baby and two other children. seven and
eight years old.
THE published statements are right
In one particular" he said to-day to an
Evening World reporter. Miss Able
Is twenty years old, and she Is pretty
and I do love her. Fol the rest Of It,
] think know the source of tho reports
which followed my absence from
church.
THE rea facts are these: Because
of my motherless children. because of
the love and sympathy for them which
I found In Miss Able, because Of tho
likeness OF her disposition and charac-
ter TO that OF my wife. and because OF
the great affection which I found In my
own heart for her. l asked Miss Able
to MARI me. We talked the matter
over with her mother and received her
consent. The Engagement was n
nounced. II aroused rather more inter-
est and excitement In the church men,
bership than either of us anticipated,
though I did not hear of any unfavor-
Able criticism and firmly believe there
was none.
Under the circumstances II seemed
to me that II would be rather a brazen
piece of business for me to appear In
the pulpit yesterday Tor the curious to
stare at. II would END to take the
minds OF the congregation from sacred
things. I felt. and 1t would be exceed
ingly embarrassing for me. I had a
talk with n OF the deacons and with
others and they agreed with us. Miss
Able stayed away for similar reasons.
Mr.. Edson's motherin-law. who has
been caring for the children since her
daughters death. was reported as hys-
terically excited over the coming mar
riage yesterday n was quoted as
saying that she knew nothing of her
son-in-law's movements Mr.. Edison did
not care to discuss her views OF the EN-
gagemnt.
THE wedding bells have not runs
yet" he said. but they will soon, and
when they ring 1t will be SO loud that
everybody will hear. Depend on that"
