Concerning the meeting Dr. John 15.

f I cannot confirm the account of our
piccilng ns It appeared In The Consti

'Inc ’ • nsntlonally stormy meeting, as
ithiit article would lead one to believe,
9t was one of the quietest, gentlest
Bheetings we ever held. There were no
■gerv statements, and nothing was said

tcejit in the kindliest way. I wish you
M please make it plain that there

apolnted to go to the Baptist Business
[Men's Gospel Union to protest against
(the return of Dr. Torrey. The Conatl-
mitlc.n said I had been made one of
ithin committee, but I did not know It.
It was merely suggested that a com-
Unitin' confer with the Gospel Union

tytvals to accomplish the most' good.
[Much a thing aa protesting against the

tii.-io was no committee appointed for
that purpose. The reference to tainted
money had no connection with the Tor
res nesting, and 1 am very sorry that
i sin'll an Impression should hare gone
nut Dr. White was merely telling of
a revival In Wilmington, N. C. which
had been very successful, and I spoke
up and said: ‘John’—I knew him at col-

t- Governor Northen some time. The
