Hawk, presiding elder of the Methodist Episcopal church at Spokane, 's in Portland on the miss'on of denyint a report published that he had been expelled froivthe church tempor : atily because he had allowed the Tan gled Tongues" sect to hold meetings In -his home.- There' was not-a word of . truth la the report; but tt gained su h circulation that had the reverend doc tor vo tongues, they would have -all . be come tangled in the strenuous efforts - necessitated in denial.' v . ; - The truo story1 of the affair Is that Dr, Hawk, as presiding elder, after a complete investigation was regretfully compelled to -depese the Rev. E. i W. Raines of Latah, Washington, who oe- came a convert to the Tonguera." Due to one of those unixplalnable freaks of the human mind that occasionally occur In the rush necessitated In the making of newspapers, the dispatch was made to read tiat Dr. Hawk had been ex pelled instead of doing the expelling, and it was so printed. . At first Dr. Hawk treated the matter 'as a Joke,' but when wires began com ing in from all sections of the country from brother clergymen asking for an explanation, it rapidly passed the Jol Ing point, and became Serious business. It became' necessary ti to. take long and expensive Journeys to deny In person at church conferences the story 61 the Tangled Tongue" conversion, and It is upon such a mission that Dr. Hawk Is visiting Portland. .- .
