CLERIC UNF ROCKED
AFTER STATEMENT.
Failure to Appear Before
Presbytery to Explain
Brings accommodation.
Rr the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. September a.
A Cumberland Presbyterian minister
who was charged by his presbytery with
saying that man who stood UP for
the right in the Memphis Presbytery
would have his head cut off, TODAY
found himself unfrocked and excom-
municated.
The Rev. D. A. Hips. member Of the
Memphis Presbytery for many years,
was removed from fellowship o1 the
church yesterday after failure TO COM
ply with request to appear before the
body and explain the statement which
was attributed to him several months
ago. The vote was unanimous. The
specific charge against Mr.. Hipps was
conduct and decorum unbecoming a
minister in making such remark.
The Rev. C. A. Davis. who presented
the unfrocking resolution explained
that the accused had been asked three
times to appear and defend himself, and
did not come.
Later the discipline of the church was
again manifest when the body voted
down a resolution "deploring and con-
demning the effort being made by poll
ticians and newspapers to humiliate and
discredit ministers of the church for
taking part in the moral questions per-
tanning to the national political cam
paign.'
The ministers had been expecting a
resolution bearing on politics. Iney
had just accepted report from the
temperance committee and had voted
that the eighteenth amendment should
be upheld and had agreed to urge their
flocks to "vote as they prayed"
