Cleric Accepts Coll

NEW YORK. Feb. Q R-A
Long Island clergyman has ac-
cepted a call to be rector Of Holy
Trinity Protestant Episcopal
Church in Brooklyn.
The post was accepted yes

Is. Sidener, Sc, chaplain Of the
Cathedral School of st. Paul
for boys at Garden City, N. Y.
Two clergymen had declined
previously to accept the pulpit.
Whether DR.. Sidener will take
over apparently depends on the
outcome of litigation In State
Supreme Court. The Rev. VIII
liam Howard Melish is contin-

church, pending decision on a
court move by anti-Melish vestry
members to GUST him. No date
