Rockefeller's New York Church
Finds New Pastor.

Baptists In the Fifth Avenue Church,
New York. including John d. Rookie
Teller and John d. Rockefeller. Jr-
were most emphatic. when selecting .
successor to the Rev. DR.. Charles +.
Aked. now OF the First Congregational
Church. San Francisco, in their demand
for q pastor of mild temperament
quiet manners In the conduct OF church
affairs, and ability to do team work
work with other people. That is, the
expressions made at the meeting which
called the new pastor, the Rev. DR..
Cornelius woelfkin, of Rochester, were
in favor OF q minister in all things
as far the opposite OF their late pastor
as could be imagined.
The new pastor, who leaves the chair
of homilectics in Rochester Seminary,
is a theologian rather than q pulpiteer.
and much Nof his fame rests upon his
books. It IL considered likely that he
sacrifices the presidency OF Rochester
seminary in accepting a New York
passionate. The Rockefeller church in
New York belongs to the liberal ele-
ment In Baptist thinking. both in doc
trine and in poIity. There has been
talk OF its sale and removal uptown.
That question H.. for the present. In
allegiance. with the likelihood, II one
may Judge by sentiment entertained by
onicials, OF a new edihce, very hand
some but not larger than the present,
on the Forty-sixth Street site where
the old church now stands.

Teachers Garb Question.

Protestants and Catholics line up on
the question OF the garb or habit worn
by teachers in Catholic Indian schools
that are supported wholly or in part
by the Government. In the hearing
had last Monday before Secretary of
the Interior Fisher, the greatest on
cial forces on the two sides were rep
resented. The Home Missions Coun-
ell, the Federal Council, the Indian
Rights Association, and others stand
for millions Of Protestants, not in SEN
tfment merely but in organized agen-
cies that were created expressly to
speak for them. On the Catholic side
were Cardinal Gibbons and the whole
power of the Catholic hierarchy in
America.
It is the general belief on the Pro-
testant side that politics play not a
small part in the whole AFFAIR The
statement made by Indian Commits
sioner Valentine, whose order was re-
yoked, is to be published in full by
the Protestants, and is said to be ex-
cedingly strong. Upon It the Profess
tant side bases hopes of ultimate vic
tory. whatever the decision in this
political campaign year. While In a
religious sense the warfare is bitter,
in a personal one there seems to be
excellent feeling on both sides. At
any rate, expressions of cordial respect
between officials are not wanting.
The Bureau OF Catholic Indian Mis-
sions has charge OF about thirty
schools in the Rocky Mountain dis
trict. Men and women belonging to
orders and societies teach in them
The Government supports them wholly
or in part. Teachers wear habits.
Catholics ask that they be allowed TO
do so. Protestants say the garb, seen
with the eye, is more potent In its in
fuence- than argument or instruction
through the ear of the child. Pro-
testants also say teachers came into
Government employ without taking
civil service examinations, which is
