Note and Comment

The Congregational Church of the United States, before which the issue of “tainted money” has been brought by Rev. Washington Gladden in connection with the offer of funds by John D. Rockefeller to promote its missionary work, has taken its stand on the question, and “tainted money” has been sustained. “By a vote of forty-six to ten,” says a Seattle, Wash., dispatch, “the American board of commissioners for foreign missions of the Congregational Church to-day [September 15] went on record as opposed to a further discussion of ‘tainted money’ in any of its private phases. This vote was taken after the leading Congregationalists of America had voiced their sentiments on the subject. Dr. Washington Gladden was the leader of the minority.”
