GAYNOR tASHESPASTOR
WHO CALLED BROOKLYN
A VEST|BULE OF HELL
CriticiSes Mr.. Osterheld in a
Letter to Right Rev. P. F.
O'Hare.

Mayor Gaynor In a letter sent to-day
Anthony's Church, Brooklyn, declares
that the people of Greenpoint are mot
given over to vice and crime" and takes
exceptions to the utterance OF another
Brooklyn clergyman recently that
"GreenpoInt, or Brooklyn, is the 'ves:i-
bule of hell" This latter statement
was made from the pulpit a week ago
last sunday by the Rev. Dudley Oliver
Osterheld OF the Greenpoint NJ r.
Church and copies OF the sermon were
sent 20 the Mayor.
Then tho Right Rev. O'Hare took up
the cudge.s for Brooklyn. declaring
Is was a clean borough morally and
otherwise and was particularly free
from vice and crime for so largely a
populated community. A copy of the
Right Rev. Mr. OHare's sermon was
also sent to the Mayor Mayor Gay
nors comment was IN part as follows:
II agree with you that the
people OF Greenpoint are not given
over to vice and crime and dis
SANNf' NC WY iNN

rule, minister to empty benches.
as might be expected. People go
willingly to hear those who have
the great charity and love of Jesus
in their hearts.
There ire bad people In Green
point, the same as every where else.
and we must do the best we can to
turn them from their evil ways. see
one clergyman over In your i'm
mediate neighborhood says that
Greenpoint. or Brooklyn. Is the YES
tibule OF hell These are his words.
What a charitable soul he must be.
And Yet the truth Is. shown by
the records. that Brooklyn Is more
free from crime and vice than any
other equal population In the world.
Its entire criminal business above
the grade OF petty offenses Is dis
posed of by one criminal court. Just
think of that being true of 100000
people. And yet there are some.
scamps who call Brooklyn the YES
thule Of hell But We must be
charitable and kind to them. and try
to reclaim them from their uncharity,
and their propensity TO bear false
witness.
