MACARTHUR ■CHIS DOUBLY SPLIT Deacon Resigns Following Row and Friends Say Pastor’s Word Is Final. The war in the Baptist Taber nacle over the proposed retention of Dr. Robert S. MacArthur reached a double climax this aft ernoon when friends of the fa mous minister said he would re sign his pulpit despite the ma jority decision of the members of his congregation to retain him Hard upon this, H. A. Etheridge, one of the leading deacons in the church, announced to The Georgian that he had demanded his letters, had resigned aS deacon, and, with all the other members of his family, would leave the. institu tion 'he has spenj twelve years building up. wh n ther Dr. MacArthur remains a? pastor or r signs. Etheridge declares that Dr. MacAr thur has vjrtuallv insulted him and the othf. membort of the committee which at his own request, had been appointed to find another ’stoi for the Taber nacle. He rays that Dr. MacArthur “in his age and childishness." has refused to apologize to him, though he ha apologized to other members of that committee. But he declares that in spite of these apologies other deacons are going to l ave the church. Dr. MacArthur Refuses to Talk. Joseph Broughton, brother of the Rev. Dr. Broughton, whom Dr. Mac- Arthur succeeded as pastor of the Tab ernacle, has already asked to be re lieved of the superintendency of the Tabernacle Sunday school; W. C. Smith is quitting the chairmanship of the institution's ways and means com mittee. A. M. Smith is to leave the teaching of the famous primary school, and it is said that all these founders of the Tabernacle will quit the institution for some other. Dr. MacArthur, who left town for the lecture platform at Cordele early this morning before he had learned of the action of the Tabernacle members last night, is not in communication ■with his friends today and no direct word has come from him in confirma tion of the statement of C. W. Hatcher, chief of his faction in the Tabernacle, that nothing that the institution itself now could do would prevail upon him to remain as its permanent head. Over the long-distance telephone to Cordele late this afternoon Dr. Mac- Arthur was told of the statement of : C. W. Hatcher that under no circum- : stances would he continue as pastor of ■ the Baptist Tabernacle in spite of the | action taken last night. "I have nothing whatever to say of that now," he replied The substance of me interview ' .-h Mr. Etheridge ■was reported ' o him. "Nor will I discus* that either now," he replied. “I don’t care to say any thing either way about the matter. Mr. Hatcher said: "I am almost positive that Dr. MacArthur will not stay as pas tor of the Tabernacle. The dis sension which arose some time ago end which cropped out in new places last night was such as to make me be lieve be will resign his pastorate if he has not already made public such an announcement, in spite of-the compli ance with his stipulations ■Dr. MacArthur has been grieved to the soul by the rift in his congregation. We have tried to point out to him that the dissensions were all due to a mis understanding and that factionalism created by the report of the committee which advised encaging Dr. permanent pastor should not count se riously with him against the great love and confidence of the great majority of the Tabernacle congregation. Dr. Mac- Arthur is easily the greatest Baptist 1 minister in’ the world today. But he is a sensitive man and this split among * the workers hit him so sorely that it is now b- yr nd the power of any or all in tjie Ta .torn a:tie itself to keep him m the (Continued on Page Thrwe. ) COLEMAN, NEW CRACKER, WILL WORK TOMORROW y-’"'’"''- Experts in Atlanta who saw wry this new Cracker at work during *** ES. spring training here say he is al « niost as good as any regular that v■ » Wolverton has.
