WRITES PASTOR
KISSED HEROINE,
NOT 40 TIMES
St. Louis Woman Says She
Thought Minister Was About to
Pray Instead of Caress.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Mrs. Theo-
dore J. Ferguson. of No. 1925 Walton
Avenue, has now come forward with
her version of the kiss that made St.
Louis famous and brought under in
vestigation the Rev. Charles NJ.
Rauch, pastor of the Cote Brilliante
Presbyterian Church
The board Of trustees of the church
exonerated Pastor Rauch, and Mrs.
Ferguson thought this was out of
order.
Wept Over Exoneration.
Mrs. Ferguson thus tells the story
of the kiss -
Il am not of a vengeful spirit and
4 dislike very much having this af-
fair resurrected. But l almost cried
my eyes out when I read that Pastor
Rauch had been exonerated by me
and my husband and the trustees.
Il have forgiven him, but have
never said a word indicating that
he was not wholly to blame for what
he did. His friends are insinuating
that I encouraged him to kiss me.
That is extremely unfair, as Pastor
Rauch himself knows it is false.
Il regret the report that the min
lister kissed me 40 times He kissed
me but once. It was in his study
and / never returned there alone.
We were alone in his study and
when we had finished our consulta-
ton he arose from his desk and APP
preached me. l thought he was go
ing 20 suggest that we offer up a
prayer in behalf of our duties, but
instead he kissed me on the brow.
Pastor Then Apolooizsd.
I was so astonished that l could
not speak. / must have biushed, and
when ] began to stammer out re-
buke Pastor RauCh apOlogized. I
would have permitted the matter to
drop there, but il worried me so that
told my husband. .. rr.
He wanted to go to the minister
at once, but / prevailed upon him to
remain calm, and that is why ke did
not report the affair to the elders
for several weeks.
y have a husband who is good as
gold and two of the best little chill
dren on earth. Why should / encour-
3ge Pastor Rauch TO kiss me2 His
friends ought 70 be ashamed of them
selves" -.-e ..
