Editor of Church
Paper Explains His
Talk on Belk Change
E. C. Merry, editor of The Park
Street Messenger, the organ of the
Park Street Methodist Church, Fri
day gave out an explanation of the
editorial comments contained in The
Messenger concerning the removal of
Hr. S. R. Relk from the pastorate of
the church, which were denounced
la.er at a meeting of the stewards,
"The views expressed in the edito
rial are my own personal views," Mr
Metry explained, "and the board of
stewards is in nowise responsible for
them. I was misinformed about the
part played by Dr. W. P., Lovejov
presiding elder, in the removal of
Dr. Relk. It seems he was not re
sponsible. I wish to exonorate Dr
Relk from any suspicion of complaint
at his lot.”
It was resolved at the meeting of
the board of stewards Thursday night
tnat certain quotations from The
Messenger as to lack of loyalty on
the part of Dr. Ixn'ejoy "do a great
injustice to a Christian gentleman,
and are erroneous.”

Chance for Those Who Have Not
Done So to Help Bring
Christmas to Poor.
Folks who like a clever amateur
show are looking forward with great
expectation to the performance to
be given Friday night at the Grand
TheaL-r by the Tech Dramatic Club.
It will be a great success. Prepa
rations for the farce have been the
must elaborate ever attempted by the |
club and the boys have responded
more readily to the coaching of Miss
Carolyn Cobb'than 4ver before.
Particular attention has been paid
to the female impersonators in the
cast. Their gowns were all made by
friends of the Tech students, and,
according to report, ‘‘fit them like the
paper on the wall.”
After the performance, most of the
crowd will attend a dance at Se-
gadlo's Hall. The occasion will af
ford an opportunity for good-byes to
be said on the eve of the Christmas
holidays.
Great Chance to Help.
Through the generosity of the Tech
Dramatic Club, one-quarter of the
box receipts of the play will go to-
