20. The Stonemen'a Club, with a membership in this city of 104.000 Protestant men, which was the storm centre of the recent political campaign, in which it was generally accepted as an anti-Roman Catholic organization. has brought down upon Itself the wrath of nearly all the non-Episcopal Protestant clergymen In Philadelphia, These clergymen assert that It Is an adjunct of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and that they will take action against it next Friday at a general meeting of the Ministerial Union. George Wharton Pepper and the Rev. 1L C.

Stone of Trinity Chapel, the rounder of the Stonemen, are alleged by many ministers to be responsible for the incorporation in the Stonemen's ritual features closely analogous to the Episcopal rite of 'confirmation. Bishop Rhine-lander of the Protestant Episcopal Church has been asked by the Stone-men to become Chaplain, and would therefore perform the acts to which the clergymen object. The latter say that unless the ritual I modified they mill be compelled to offer members of their congregations who are Stonemen the choice of renouncing one or other of their allegiances. Following is the statement of the Rev. Asa J.

Ferry. epesVIng for the Ministerial Union: We stand agreed absolutely In a refusal to sanct.on the administration of sacraments by a club, on the ground that such rites belong to a church, and ahould not be made the rites of a club. "We also positively refuse to enter Into anv fellowship which requires Protestant Episcopal confirmation. We object firmly to the slight Imposed upon churches by a refusal to recognise thulr orders. we are sympathetic to the fellowship idea Involved In the Stonemen movement, but we feel also that, we cannot unite on anv such basis as that suggested by the Rev.
