E C/GENE HLA CK SELLS HERBERT DITTLER PRUDENTIAL'S AGENCY " L " ULIM u " ,LL " Dr. Thotnas Breaks Ballooning Record 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."
