.sCHERER RESIGNS AS
TREASURER OF UNION
Fact Was Not Mentioned in Abstract
Given Out of Secret Session
of Ministers.
MCKEE DECLINES TO TALK
Layman Secretary of Y. NJ. G. a. Now
Officer OF Ministerial Association.
Serious Dissension Follows Propo-
sition to Bring Billy Sunday Here.

Rev ]. ]. Schercr. Jr.. pastor OF the
FIRST English Evangelical Church, has
rendered his resignation as treasurer Of
This action was taken on Monday morn
ing AT a secret session OF the organiZa
ton. at which time vote on the ques
ton of inviting BILLY" Sunday to visit
Richmond was taken. Although n re-
port of that session was made public
by the secretary. no reference TO the
resignation OF the officer WAS made. Ill
ness in the family and the press OF
other business is the reason assigned by
Mr.. Schercr for his resignation.
Until recently Mr.. Scherer held the
joint position of Observation-Disclosures of
the Ministerial Union. Just at the time
the BILLY" sunday agitation was start
ed, the executive committee of the or
ganization secured Il change in the con-
stitution in order TO provide for a de-
nomination that was not represented on
the committee. When the matter was
voted upon IL was found that the ONCE
OF secrctary-treasurer had been split
Rev. w. Asbury Christian. y. D., who
presided ut the meeting, ruled out sew
eral protests against the change. s. *.
Mckee, secretary Of tho Young Mems
Christian Association. layman, was
made secretary, and Mr.. Scherer was
made treasurer.
OBJECTIONS MADE: TO M'KEE
SERVING AS OFFICER
Objection was made by several mem
bers 20 the selection OF Mr. Mckee as
secretary on the ground that he was
not n minister. but they were over
ruled. Since the question of bringing
Sunday here has been agitated, tho
method OF procedure has caused aston
ishment to many members of the union,
and there is talk of influential members
dropping out entirely.
Mr.. Mckee. who is personal friend
of BILLY" Sunday, has been working
hard to get the union to invite him.
The executive committee Endorsed the
invitation, but when the union came
to vote on the question the doors were
closed to all who were not members of
tho union. Thirteen members, ut least.
arc said to have voted against the invi-
tation. Two of the leading denomina-
tions are snuarely divided on the issue.
while the English Evangelical Church
of which Mr.. Scherer is the sole rem.
resentative, did not vote on the uues-
ton.
The spirit OF the union has ALWAYS
been against politics in it's proceedings,
and up to short time ago when
member was opposed conscientiously to
any move, the union promptly dropped
1t. The proceedings of the past few
weeks arc being strongly criticized nv
many members
When asked last night II tho resirno-
ton of Mr. Schcrer had been received by

more little Brown Men. Then all the
rocks and stones opened, and out they
came from all sorts of places, under
the leaves. out of the trees, and tie
woods seemed filled with them. They
all gathered around the boys, some of
them climbed over them, and some
went into their pockets, and the boys
felt very uncomfortable, but their little
friend said the little men were Just
curious, and not to mind. they soon
would leave. After while the moon
came out, lighting up the woods like
day, and the boys could see the little
Brown Men running over rocks in all
directions, but their friend stayed by
them.

THE LITTLE BROWN MEN.

Did you ever hear of the little Brown
Men who live in the rocks and stones
In the woods and come out when the
moon is shining?
They have pointed brown boards
and bright shiny eyes and wear little
brown caps, short brown Jackets and
trousers and high brown boots
They are very small and can easily
hide under the leaves or the ground.
One day Fritz and Hans were going
through the woods kicking the leaves
as they walked, when all at once
voice said: Take care, you almost
kicked my nose" Both boys jumped,
and right in front of them was little
Brown Man, holding his hand over his
nose
"You should be more careful" he
said. "You might hurt someone kick
ing along in that way"
Eve beg your pardon. l am sure, ;"

were there. should think you would

'If you keep in the path you will
not step on us" said the little man.
"Are there more like your" asked
the boy
ooh, yes, indeed" he answered 1--WE
live inside the rocks. but sometimes
we sleep outside. This is the time we
sleep and at night, when the moon is
shining, we come out"
Il should think you would be afraid
of the wild animals said Fritz.
"They would not bother us" replied
the little man. "We would not make
even a good bite for them
''Do you see many?" asked Hans.
''Yes; we see lions and bears and
tigers"
Wish we could see some," said
Hans. Il should like to shoot bear

one has seen Stefansson or the two
men he kept with him since then. His
vessel, the Karluk. drifted several hun
dred miles to the westward and was
crushed in the ice. Part of those
aboard the Karluk were rescued
through the perseverance of McCon-
nell
Then Mcconnell came back to the
States and started his efforts to or
ganize relief expedition. It was he
who evolved from his brain the idea of
hydro-aeroplane. Many of his plans
were talked over in the Eight Oars,
E. w. Deming's studio in artistic Mac
dougal alley.
The Canadian government is chided
by Mcconnell for failing to fit out a
relief expedition, as Stefansson is upon
Canadian service. But the great war
has interviewed and monopolizes Cana
da's energies.
i consider it my duty to search for
Stefansson," Mcconnell said. "As a
survivor of the expedition, shall not
be content to sit idly and In comfort In
civilization until l know that my COM
rades are safe, or what has happened
to them"
Opinions differ as to what has hap
pened to Stefansson. He may be drift
Ing on field of ice somewhere north
of Alaska. In this event he would
reach Siberia, If still alive, about two
years from now.
Mcconnell thus outlined his plans
recently:
Our expedition is not more hope

started out to rescue the crew of the
jeanette in 1879. two years after she
had sailed
