Of! King, Provoked by the Discusston of His Business Methods Roused by His ‘Proposed Donation to Church, Is Expected to Back Out. So much criticism has been aroused by John D, Rockefeller’s gift of $100,000 to the Board of Foreign Missions that a despatch from Boston: says that the beliet 1s current thereat the Standard Oil head will revoke the offer, The protest mete-ettite-conference of Oongregational ministers in Bos- ton against the acceptance of the money, on the ground thet it !s tainted pberause of the lawless methods employed in securing it, has aroused discus- sion from churchmen and Jaymen in every part of the country, and a per- sonal representative of Rockefeller in Boston 1s quoted ae saying thet the multi-milionatre {s indignant that his gift sould have been questioned, and threatens to withdraw his offer to the Friends and Supporters Indignant. While Rockefeller has not bar ined statement that would bear out the deo Jaration that he saree ne had spb the ministers an insult and @ gross hibition of ingratitude, it ts generally the attitude taken by his friends and supporters. Not until Tuesday next will the ha dential Committee of the Board o! Foreign Missions announce Ite a fon regarding the gift, Tere {se what ministers say regard: ing the Rockefeller offer: Presbyterians Would Accept. - Rev. Dr, JOHN BR.

HUNTINGTON, of Grace Church—I do not wish to be interviewed on that question, Money Would Do Harm. Rey, Dr. WARREN H. WILSON, ‘Aviington Avenue Presbyterfan Churoh, Brooklyn—I belleve that It Is never wise to solicit money for religious oF public services from such @ man as Mr, Rockefeller, because public opinion {9 go settled and determined as to how he got it. Mr. Rockefeller {s so con- splcuous that I think It unwise to so-| liclt money from him, The money will Board, do the more harm mood, No Right to Refuse, Rev. Dr, JOHN F. CaRso: Presbyterian Chuteh, posed Oey hd look behind an offer to charity. We have no moré right to refuse $100 than we would have to refuse $100,000, I do not know the merits of this question, and on that account would not ex- press my opinion, If I were chairman of the Congregational Board I would not investigate any source from which @ witt comes, Up to Protesting Clergy. Rov, I, L, HALDEMAN, pastor of the Mrst Baptist Churoh—I do not judge "Mr. Rockefeller, for I have no means of knowing how he got his money, If the protesting clergymen are convinced of his gullt they did right in objecting to the acceptance of his gift. A man who takes money from 9 thief ts a receiver of stolen goods, and as mich condones and becomes a part- ner in his crime, If the church accepts money from Mr, Rockefeller, knowing It to have been dishunestly obtained, it indorsed the method in which he ac- quired it, Money Would Ald Christ's Cause. Kev, JAMES CURRY, of St, James's Roman Catholic Church—It ought to ‘be received, even if just as conacleroe money, Of course, I do not know any- thing about Mr, Rockofeller’s methods. But, whatever they have been, his money could ald the cause of Christ; 4 Discussion Does No Good, Dr, A.
