The proportions Of this homecom.

the complete abandon with which the

cried "heil."

streets were happy, at long last, to
have a chance to blow off steam.

come and gone and yet Berlin con-

Holland and Belgium were con-

ANSWERS CRITICISM

Editor,
Key West Citizen,
Dear Sir:
Concerning the article in The
Citizen, June 7th, the loyal
pensioners of St. Stephens
Church are deeply grieved to
read in your excellent paper the
misleading article under the
above caption
( We have always found your
agency helpful and truthful and
believe that you viii, In this in
stance, correct the errors In the
above named article which a
brief study of the matter viii re-
veal
The truth OF the matter is that
a few of the members resented
certain rulings of the Bishop of
the church three weeks ago and
have been constantly agitating In
every way possible, hoping to
have the church withdraw from
the diocese of Bishop E A. Rob-
erts, who, with Reverend Charles
y. Nicely (decease0 organized
this church In this city Is years
ago.
/ It will be recalled that Rev.
Charles J. Nicely -(Buddie), the
builder of the new stone edifice
of this church, lost his life while
attempting to complete the work
lon the church less than two years
iago. 1t is therefore, deeply
grievous to those who knew and
appreciated his work and his
hope that it would continue
peacefully under the diocese by
which it was founded, to witness
the attempts of a few disgruntled
members to disrupt it because OF
their petty grievances
/ We, the loyal members of st.
Stephens Church, invite your in
vestigation of this matter before
an opinion is formed, and thank
you for the support which you
have given this church in the
past in its Christian work in this
community.
