BARNARD’S TALK AROUSES CITIZENS Continued from Pag* Onct N. Y/ Jury Expected to Indict Bank Officials. New York, ' Nov. 19.—Affidavits, made by three former olllcere and di rector* of the Borough Bank of Brook lyn, In which admleaion* are made that the bank'a funds were irregularly with drawn by them for "personal use, will be presented to the Klnga county grand Jury today. The three men point, how. ever, that the- have made complete restitution by transferring property— real estate and other securities—of a present market value approximately 11.000,000, to meet an Irregular ladebt- ednees of about $460,000. In their sworn statements the men sdmlt employing dummies and present ing st least one note on which a name waa forged. Some of the money Went into Wall street; some was Invested In reel estate. It Is thought that six and possibly seven Indictments will be found by the Jury. Three of the Indictments will have to do with officers of the Jenkins Trust Company, It Is said. The officers of the Borough Bank, for whom the Indictments will he Is sued, are said to be; Howard Maxwell, ex-president of tha bank; Arthur D. Campbell, ex-cashler; William D. Gow, who owned a majority of stock and was however, but made some very griev ous errors. I did not refer to any dead man as a kicker. I merely- mentioned the names of two former pastors of this church who are now In heaven, and who had been forced out of this church by the inembere. of the official board who are now trying to force me out.” * Condemned Gambling. Rev, John E. Barnard,Is known and often characterised os the “Broughton of cartereville." One of hi* chief char acteristics Is a proclivity to take t hand In local affairs that do not meet with his approval and to handle them without glovee. Many tlmei has he brought down about his ears the anger and resentment of u large number of the people of this, city, within and without his church. l>y his fearless at tacks upon things that were thought by hint to be evil. I It was one of these merciless attacks some time ago upon aome of the cltl- tens or Cartersville who fiad become Involved In a little affair In which the grand Jury and circuit court took hand that started the rumblings of discontent that have been so persist ently heard for many months coming from the Fli.t Baptist Church. . A number of Dr. Barnard’s members and church officials. It la said, thought their pastor had been too hard upon some of Cartersville'* clttxen* who had been convicted and lined In the courts for gambling. One of his church officer* stated to The Georgian representative that Mr. Barnard had been told that he ought to say no more concerning the affair, In view of the fact that those who had been caught gambling had been punished by the courts, and that his continued attacks upon them amounted to nothing less than perse cution. Dr. Barnard continued to preach scathing sermons, condemning the crime of gambling and those who participated In It, and It was soon seen that his course was bringing about dissension among the members. Had Cautioned Pastor. *' On more than one occasion," said s prominent official of the board of deacons of the First Baptist church. Brother Barnard had been relentless and almoat merciless In his attacks upon different people and things, and we have had to caution him a number the imL' I feel tfiat It U but right that our aide or the affair should ho hoard also. Many Membera Displeased. “For aoiue time Brother Barium! has not glren satisfaction to this church, n large ? lumber of the leadlug members frankly any* ng that they were not pleased with him.

Cason, Levi 8haw and-Walker Alley, five of the deacon* of the church, called upon Brother .Barnard In hla study S t the church. We luformed him that we ad como to talk over church matters with him. We told him then that he had done a great work In this city; had done much for our chuycb, and that we loved him. We told him that we had come to him to tell him ua our friend and brother jntt what the state of affairs waa. We then apoke of the dissatisfaction; of the number of mem bers who had stopped coming to the church, giving aa an excuse for their abaence flint they did not approve of the pastor. We explained to him that a number of members bad refused to pay their assessments, say ing that they would never pay anything more Into the church aa long aa It bad the [ tresent pastor. We told him that we lie- leved It our dnty to come to him In . the aplrlt of hrotborlr lore and friendship and apprise him of the state of Affairs frankly and openly. We said to him that we be lieved bis usefulness here had been spent, and one member of the board, a prominent farmer, characteristically Mbl, ’You have layed by your crop here and It ain’t no nae to plow any more.’ Finally after atgnlng for more than au hour, we were forced to tell him that In our opinions the church would no longer prosper under his ministry. Went to the Deacons, “Of course Brother Barnard did not agree to this proposition. lie thought we were mistaken. Then we said that at least twen ty of the\ most prominent inembere of the church agreed with ue. and that' It was npou the solicitation of these members that we had agreed to come to him, and that we had adopted this course to save him the embarrassment of a public demand for bis resignation. He told u« then to get the other four deacons who wrte not then pres- ent, and that If they agreed with us he would’ thep consider. He cautioned us to pray In the meantime, say nought to any one, and that If the others of the official boa HI i matter. .. him again and we ‘ deacon. We all corrected lilm. when be said, *Aa sure as there Is n God. ami n» sure as 1 am sitting here, he said exaetly what I said he did.’ One deacon tried to shut the whole matter up right there, (jut another said he believed It ongbt to lie brought out. Heveral voices were raised at once In protest agnlnst the fact that th#- was to the threatened fight. Brother J'fr- nard then delivered hla five-word specou- ■’I will not now resign.’ “Taking his fire-word speech as nn ulti matum, the membera of the board nereeii to extend to hint the right band of fellowship nnd to work with him for the best Interestn of the church, saying nothing of what had passed.
