PROBE PROVED
MY STORY, SAYS
MRS. MCPHERSON
BY AIMEE SEMPLE MCPHERSON
(PnstOr of the ADgelus TempJe)

LOS ANGELES, Calf, July 27. -
When I first learned that the grand
jury was arranging 70 hear of the
tragedy which had befallen me, /
thought, how wonderful;, 1 will be in
the hands of friends, who will take
up the cudgels and defend the cause
OF an honorable Christian woman, who
had come to California and made her
home, reared her children. brought
thousands of fine citizens to Los An.
geles from far and near, and founded
the greatest evangelist cented and
Eible school in the world; a woman
whose life, conduct and example dur
ing the many years of residence here
has been an open book, and beyond
reproach.
Proves Own STORY
But so far as 1 am able to Judge
from the accounts, outside of hearing
my story that of my mother and sec
retary, the evidence presented to the
grand jury was mainly, if not entirely,
such as would seek to break down my
story by m yst rious, outrageous
"identifications," in cafes, garages and
automobiles.
No sooner were these bombs flung
than they were exploded by the truth,
proving my story at the end of the
investigation exactly as it was given
at the beginning - and there is no
other story.
I have been asked as to my feeling
regarding the failure to indict the
kidnapers." Let me remind you that
on my platform and over my radio,
announced that I would not prosecute
nor ask anyone else to do so; for their
treatment Of me, outside of the mental
suffering of myself and my people,
was most humane, compared with that
which l have since received from the
jealous, vindictive enern-es OF Angelus
temple and the Four Suare gospel.
Express Confidence
From every quarter daily come tes
timonials of churches, organizations,
citizens and friends, expressing abso.
ute confidence. Indeed, moments
thought and review of my life and
work. which has ever been a construc-
tive, conservative building for right-
eousness and the help of others, would
convince the most skeptical of the abb
surdity of any suggesting that by my
own hand or will I would tear down
and destroy myself, work and children
My story has not been disproved in
cne iota. Every day new friends are
rallying to my side and old friends
are standing pat" ! have neither
malice nor revenge in my heart, but
count life and it's every moment pre-
cious in my work for my Lord.

CATHOLICS Of

MASSES
(By Dispatch A. P. wiro)

MEXICO CITY, July 27.
With the governments
decision still unannounced
as to whether it will declare
seditious the pastoral letter
issued by the archbishops
and bishops Of Mexico and
indict those responsible for
the document. Catholics to-
day again crowded all the
churches eager to perform
their devotions before Sat-
urday, the last day priests
will officiate by order of
the episcopate.
Additional distress is felt in Cath
olic circles by reason of reports,
thus far not substantiated by Of
ficials orders, that the government
may take over the church buildings
becase the priests have abandoned
them, and convert them into schools
and Libraries or use them for other
prposes.
With the object of preventing this,
the Catholic authorities have decided
that when the priests depart they
VIII leave the churches in the han,ls
of committees of loyal layinen ap-
pointed by the priests of each con-
gregation. They are also discussing
whether 1t is possible for such .ay
caretakers to conduct masses AMI
other ceremonials, thereby giving the
government no opportunity to saw
that the churches have been COM
pletely abandoned, as Justification for
the seizure.
While the government has not said
that it contemplates taking over this
churches, Catholics are greatly ag,-
tated in the fear that they NAV do

development would cause a more seri
Gus situation than at present exists.
