sary to obtain a license to wear a
turban in Turkey. The exder-

been suppressed; the "Hadjis, those

Mecca; the fruit dealers and even
beggars, who in the past have af-
fected the turban, no longer VIII
have the privilege Of wearing it.
Now the turban may be worn
only by Turkish priests. The ZOO
priests in Constantinople have been
required to take out permits, which
bear their pictures. their names
and the names Of the mosques at
which they officiate. Any one
wearing a turban without such
permit is arrested. Many OF those
who have worn turbans are object
ing strenuously to the new order.

sure to catch cold when they bare
heads that always have been
swathed.
The general desire of the populace
to discard the old.time costumes
has become so contagious that the
rabbis OF Constantinople have de-
cided to wear modern civilian
dress when outside the synagogues.
Their flowing black gowns and tall
cylindrical hats no longer are to
be seen in the streets of the city.

CLOSED CRURCH DOORS
AGAINST THE PASTOR
'DEACONS AND TRUSTEES CLAIM
THEIR ACTION WAS RIGHT
IN BUCHANAN EPISODE.

Buchanan, Va, March %, 1925.
Dear Editor:
Please allow space in your paper
to correct an article that appeared in
issue of March 2. 1925, concerning a
business meeting held in our Church
February 81. 1925. IL that article
We find no cause for the doors being
closed against the pastor, but the
cause was stated in that meeting
and the pastor asked pardon for the
same.
The deacon and trustee boards
did not close the doors from a selfish
motive whatever and had We consid
cred that We had a pastor, we would
have consulted him, as we have
always done, before any further steps
were Saken. When he left the church
Friday night, after leaving his seat
as moderator and advancing towards
the deacon as il to strike him, calling
him out Of his name, saying he would
not preach any more as pastor until
he was put off the board. and that
he was going to turn his force against
him and see that he did go on; we
knew nothing else to do but close the
door until a settlement was made
some way.
We offered him three propositions:
First, a settlement of the matter
hetween the deacons and trustees
alone Second, call the. church to-
gsther with a disinterested minister
as moderator. Third, call council.
All of these propositions he refused,
stating he would call the church
together and preside himself.
This would seem to us that a man
is Judging his own case. This we
did rot feel would be satisfactory,
so we invited minister to preside
in the meeting of February %, 1925
Blu on reaching the church we found
that he had invited a guest who
acted a. a counsellor because of the
fact that there were other ministerial
brethren present who were not inyit'
ed to sit in this meeting. This guest
argued that the action of the deacon
ard trustee boards was unlawful
from the fad that it took two
thirds majority Of the membership
of the church mot twO-thirds of the
members presenD bu. two-thirds of
the membership to c'ose the door
ag? INST the pastor, when seven is the
quorum % do business in our church
and we had vote ca twelve to close
the door
SO We closed the door because he
SAID he would not preach any more
as pastor until this deacon was put
off the board and there was no
charge alleged against the deacon
and he could not have been put off
until the next regular meeting, If
there was any.
We may be too dull in thought or
too slow of speech to cope with
those who make such work their
study, but we do feel that we know
right from wrong.
