Would Not Ask Whether Money Contributed to the Methodist Church was "Tainted" or Not.
Cincinnati. March 4.—If Rockefeller or Carnegie contributed money to the Methodist church I would not ask whether it was tainted or not," declared Bishop Henry Walden at a meeting of Methodist ministers Monday.
"For every foreign dollar contributed to the support of the Methodist church in the country we loose two Methodist dollars said the bishop.
The accepting of these large gifts will have a tendency to let the Methodist church lean toward this support rather than its own resources."
