John D, Rockefeller has not as yet signified his intention to withdraw his gift of $100,000 to the Board of Foreign Missions, in spite of the storm of ortti- ojsm that hes arisen from churchmen and laymen who oppose the acceptance of the gift on the ground that Mr, Rock- efeller's money Je tainted. It was said yesterday that Mr, Rockefeller contem= plated withdrawing the gift, Had he done this it was said that the discus- sion would have ended, A despatch from Boston says that despite the storm of protest from the mini: of the churches of New En; land and in the face of the dissenting memorial, presented and signed by thirty local pastors, the Prudential Committee of the American Board of Foreign Missions will on next Tuesday vote unanimously to accept the gift of $100,000 from John D, Rockefeller, and will use the money for the benefit of the mission schools of the Orient. All efforts to get a statement from Mr. Rockefeller have failed, Through his secretary he has sald that he does not want to enter the controversy.
