MIR. HantzmOn Promises Live
Iy Sunday for Rivals if
They Want it

IL is understood that the Rev. Will
liam H. Hantzmon, pastor Of First N.
P. church, will thrash out the contro-
versy with the members of his congre-
cation tomorrow. regarding the stand
that he has taken on the marriage
question
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Hantzmon criticized the Rev. George
L. Wolfe recently, and after the
statement, was asked for his resigna-
ton as the church pastor. but he de-
clined to give it on the grounds that
he had done nothing wrong and that
the conference would remove him if it
decided that he had done anything that
would necessitate such action:
The decision of the congregation to
hold a trustee election next Friday
night has displeased the young pastor
who declares that it is an attempt to
go over his head and to get rid OF
him.
Mr.. Hantzmon makes this state
ment;
"These few people who oppose me
because / am opposed to the marriage
traffic will find I have a few good
shots left for them on Sunday. Now
that they have done what | know to
be wrong. / will not spare any pains
to show them up before the public.

let me. but they won't, so now they
can take the consequences; and II

follow They have got to stop kick
ing and making all this fuss if they
ever expect to gain point They say
/ they are within the law in calling foi
/ the election of trustees. and If they
continue to think il, then / will beat
/ them at their own game and beat
/ them bad l am sick and tired of be-
! irg ground down and made a butt
for all the advice they get from theii
friends and I intenC to make them

to a show down, and I believe | have
the best of the argument. II is Ger.
tainly a cowardly way to try to dc
anything; that is, to go behind my
back and try to rope in enough tC

tLsn push me out. I only wish haC
the authority, would close the church
so quick it would make their heads
swim.
I'm spite of all their remonstrance'
we will have the oyster supper il
order TO defray the expenses and ge
a little money for my needs. The sup
per will not be held in the church
however, as will do nothing TO cause
any censure to fall on my head"
