NO COMMITTEE
WAS APPOINTED
Emphatic Denial Entered by Dr.
White and Dr. Millard to
Sensational Story.
There was no protest against the re
turn of Dr. Torrey to Atlanta at the
hireling of the Baptist Ministers’ As
eoclatton of Atlanta Monday. Dr. John
F '» hit# and Dr. J. W. Millard, who
gave statements to The Georgian Tues
day concerning the meeting, emphatic
ally denied the sensational features In
thj report In The Atlanta Constitution.
At the meeting of the Baptist minis
fere, held Monday at the First-Baptist
chur< h. It wag proposed that the Bap.
list Ministers’ Association confer with
the Gospel Union In regard to a revival
to be held In Atlanta In the near future,
Jn this connection there was much said
of the Torrey meetings held In Atlanta
recently, and there was some difference
of opinion as to the resultant good.
< on. ernlng the meeting Dr. John E.
tv hue had the. following to say Tues
day morning:
• I cannot confirm the account of our
m.t'lng as It.appeared In The Constl
tuthdl Tuesday morning. Instead of be,
log n sensationally stormy meeting, as
that article would lead one to believe.
It was one of the quietest, gentlest
rivetings we ever held. There were no
fi. ry statements, and nothing was said
shout Dr. Torrey and his meetings, ex-
< opt In the kindliest way. I wish you
V ,uid please make It plain that thsrs
n >ii no protest against Dr. Torrey re
turning to Atlanta, as was stated In
The Constitution: nnd, further, as far
S' I know, there was no committee ap-
I pointed .to go to the Baptist Bualneas
Men’s Gospel Union to protest against
the return of Dr. Torrey. The Conatl-
t n t Ion said I had been made one of
this committee. hilt I did not know It.
Ji wits merely suggested that a com
mune confer with the Goapel Union
nUU'hils os to methods for holding re
vivals to. accomplish the most good.
Fnrh a thing aa protesting against the
return of Dr. Torrey never entered our
minds. 1 made no eenaatlonal state
ments In the talk I made at the meet
ing Monday. The only thing eeld about
I >r Torrey’s returning that I remember
was when Dr. Landrum was asked If he
ii uhl Invite him to return If It were
left entirely In hi* hands and ha said
he « ould not. There was nothing ’red
hot’ nboul the meeting, and a very er
roneous Impression was created by the
acrount In The Constitution.” ■
An attempt was made to see Dr.
1.:, ml rum, but at hla home It was said
he had gone to I-lthla Springs to spend
the day.
Dr. Millard, of the Ponce DeLeon
Bnptlat church, wae aeked If any pro-
pet hud been made agalnet the return
of Torrey to Atlanta.
“Not at all," said he. ‘‘I cannot veri
fy the atory In The Constitution, as II
N quite evident that the reporter failed
, to catch the aplrlt of the mealing en-
tlrely and misrepresented It. There wae
no protest against Torrey’s returning;
there was no committee appointed for
that purpose. The reference to tainted
money had no connection with the Tor
rey meeting, and I am very sorry that
such an Impression should have gone
nut. Dr. White wae merely telling of
s : iwival In Wilmington, N. C., which
had been very successful, and I spoke
up nnd said: ’John’—I knew him at col-
you know—‘suppose you apd I talk
to Governor Korthen aoine time. The
0 -pel Union officials are always open
p. -uggestlon*.' No committee was ap-
1 luted, there was nothing sensational
ah ut the meeting nnd I regret exreed-
Ingly that It should have been mlarep-
i ca nted to the public."
When eeen at hla office In the Tem
pi, ■ Court building Tueaday morning,
< lovernor Northen would have nothing
1 . say of the reported meeting of the
Baptist ministers.
"Just say that I had nothing to aay.
