Famous Minister WithhoIds
Decision, But 1t Is Believed
He Will Stay.

Sitting in the study of the Baptist

Il believe both my statements to The
Hatcher Il said that DR.. Macarthur
had been so deeply hurt by the oppo-
sition of certain members of his charge
that no action the Tabernacle could
take within itself would induce him to
come back to us. But outside Baptists
have interested themselves. Ministers
of Atlanta. even outside the Baptist
church, have joined in the plea that has
been made to him since his return, and

Il firmly believe that if DR. Macarthur
remains in our pulpit that SO-hour pc
Rod of supplication to the Lord will
have much to do with it.
"And l will say further that the con-

But Mr.. Ethridge wouldn't exactly
subscribe to that statement. Two days
ago he told The Georgian that he would
quit the Tabernacle with his family,

bored with DR.. Macarthur at the Geor-
gian Terrace after his return from Cor
dele until after midnight last night
they obtained from him no definite an
swer to their appeal to reconsider his
determination to resign. He admitted
that he was deeply touched by the great
sentiment that has arisen in the city in
his favor and appreciated the wide
spread efforts Of Cancellation that
brought not only all Baptist clergymen
in the city to the appeal, but clergymen
of other denominations as well.
But. as he said to The Georgian to-
day, he felt even more keenly the trou-
BILE that has conferred about him for the
first time after all these years in the
ministry
He told the conferees at the Georgian
Terrace that throughout his pastorate
at Calvary church he had never known
a rift like this. AS he had character
lied the situation to this newspaper
yesterday AT Cordele, so he character
lied it again last night and told the
ministers who met him that whatever
his decision he must tell them that he
had no apologies or explanations to
make.
The meeting at the Georgian Terrace
was not acrimonious, but it was charg-
ed with deep emotion. When it broke
up it was with the general Impression
that Dr. Macarthur might still be pre-
vailed upon to assume the permanent
pastorate though he had by no means
said formally nor in so many words

More Meetings to
Perfect Harmony.

1t was arranged that another meeting
of the cergymen and still another of
the faction members of the Tabernacle
should be held today in still another eff
fort to reconcile the situa ton complete
~ so that whatever scruples DR. Mac
Arthur may still entertain will be over
come
Some of the members of the proposed
conference. informally and not in DR..
MacArthur's presence, have suggested
a solution of the trouble. They propose
that while the noted minister be made
head and front of the Tabernacle per-
manently some plan be devised where
by he will not be compelled personally
to supervise the details of the institu-
tional work The idea Of this plan is
that the opposition to the doctor having
developed along the grounds of his al
legged nexperience in this branch of the
pastorate, there could be no further
disagreement by Messrs. Ethridge,
Broughton and the others who take
their position.
But the friends of DR. Macarthur say
that this proposition will only cause
further resentment at this critical time.
They point out that he had agreed to
take over the institutional work at the
very time the last rift came, and that if
it should be partially shifted to other
shoulders he could not accept such an
attempted solution without surrender
ing one of the main issues in the con
troVersy.
Whether this matter has been placed
before pr. Macarthur he would not say
today.

young yet and only about 300 crates

1t is well that Atlanta is using them
as fast as they come in, for the recent
rains have so filled the fruit with sap
that after they are picked they will not
keep but night and day
Fifty per cent Of the peaches now

in now. The free stones will be here
soon. The liberia the most delicious
of all and the Georgia Bell, close

Sell at 40 Cents Basket
Today the fruit was bringing from rs
cents to $3.50 a crate in the wholesale
markets and 40 cents a basket at the
retailers. At the cafes one could get a
saucer of the fruit with cream for ff-
teen cents
