RELATE THEIR SIDE
Ministers Tell of Sermons at
the Park Incident.

A committee of the Ministerial as
ISOLATION today made public the fol-
lowing as it's side of the controversy
relative to religious services at Glen
Miller park Sunday afternoons:
There had been a desire expressed
by some of the best citizens of our
city that the ministers should hold
services at the park Sabbath after
Moons during July and August. They
felt that a great amount of good could
be accomplished. In view Of this desire,
the Ministerial association took favor
able action. The Eyangelistic commit
tee was instructed to make arrange
ments with the proper authorities to
this end. The board of works was
consulted, and it met with the hearty
approval OF that body.
The Superintendent of Street Rail-
way. Mr. Gordon, was seen to find out
whether there would be any objection.
He also heartily consented. Mr.. J. F.
Hartzler, the band master, was next
seen, and he also was heartily in favor
to have the band cooperate. Mr.. Chas.
d. Fetzer, Lessee of the refreshment
stand was consulted, and he also was
perfectly willing. Having secured the
consent of these parties, We felt sure
that these services could be held in
connection with the band. However,
some time after this verbal arrange
ment had been made, a contract was
made with the band, through it's band
master, Mr.. ]. F. HartZler, that it
should play at the park from to 5
pm and render 10 selections. In that
contract, no provision was made for
any service. The reason why these
parties were consulted was because
they were interested in paying for the
music.
The first service was held on the
7th of July, according to arrangement;
there was perfect harmony between
the band and the ministers. The serv-
ice occupied the time of the bands in
Permission. We left the grounds feel
ing that some good was accomplished.
We knew nothing of any difficulty I'M
til Monday evening when the press
brought to our attention the fact that
the Board of Works had taken action
that there should be no services held
from the band stand between the
hours from 8 to s. In view of the
above facts, the ministers decided to
discontinue the services this season,
feeling that before 8 o'clock it would
be too early, and after 5 o'clock it
would be too late.
The ministers had been prompted
in this effort to render, if possible, q
service for the betterment of our CONF
munity.

Green said. the men cursed him. Green

merchant marine from point where
