"What Shall P.c the Attitude of the Universality Church .Toward the Pres ent Y. M. C. A. Movement?" wus the subject of a special meeting of thu trustees of the Uulvertsallst church Tuesday evening. The laws of tho Y. M. C. A. intimate that no Unlycr sallst shall be allowed to hold ofllce In that organization, hence the discus sion. In speaking of the meeting Wednes day to a Democrat reporter, Ilev. E. ;. Mai-on, pastor of the church, said: "Yes, it's true, the national laws of the Y. M. C. A. discriminate against us. With us it Is a matter of sub ordinating our denominational pride, or of being an obstruction to the Chris tian movement In this city. We ap preciate keenly the fact that Akron needs such an organization, and have decided to swallow our pride, and maintain an attitude of strict neutral ity, speaking neither for nor against the Y. M. C. A. movement. "If tho young men of the Unlvcrsal ist church wish to Join the Y. M. C. A. we shall not attempt' to dissuade them, nor will we place auy barrier in their way. However, we shall probably not encourage them to Join or support, iu any way, tho move ment. xi "The trustees of the church regret that the national laws of tho'Y. M. C. A. are so unfair to thu Unlyersallsts, but they are also cogulzau't of the fact that the local organization would have no power to alter them. I think it would be most unfortunate If' the or ganization should' mar the' friendly feeling that now exists between the churches of tills city. , "The couisc of the Uniyersallsls' is like a ship sailing between Sylla and Charyhdls.

The resolution follows: "Whereas, We are Informed Unit, owing to a general law of the Young Men's Christian Association, tho branch of that body about to be or ganized iu Akron, will be obliged to discriminate against Christian young men who may he members of tho Unlversallst church, to the extent, at least, of prohibiting them from hold ing ofllce iu the Association, aud to the po-lblo detriment, we fear, of the Christian unity now existing Inj our city and so beautifully exempli fled during the recent week of pray,, er: "Be It rcsoluved. That wo deeply regret this discrimination, sincerely believing It to be contrary to the spirit of Christ and an obstacle In tho way of Christian progress. Nevertheless, we appreciate the fact that It Is a matter over which the local branch will have no control, and we arc con fident that were the local workers la the movement to decide the question for themselves no such discrimination would be permitted. Wo thcreforo feel that we cannot withhold our sym. pathy from a movemeut whose object Is to benetit the young men of our city, and we do hereby express our sympathy with the project, although ourselves debarred from full partici pation iu Its work and benefits. Wo trust and pray that the spirit of tol eration aud good-will, so rapidly, spreading among all denominations, may soon lead to the removal of this and every other barrier to the fullest co-operation of Christian workers for Chrlitlan service."
