Win Investigate. "WTiatever there may be to the mat- r, we will go to the bottom of It We not wiah to have Rev. Mr, Robinson s'-cept the rectorship of St Paul's with out thorough harmony between him and the parish." Bishop Scaddingj declared that , he would have an early meeting with the rn embers of the vestry of the Oregon City church to discuss the matter. A dispatch from Philadelphia says? ' "After being forced to resign from the rectorship of the Episcopal Church of the Evangelists, Rev. Charles W. Rob inson, brother of the bishop of Nevada, announced that he had accepted a call tendered him by St , Paul's Episcopal c hurch of Oregon City, Oregon. He will leave here next Tuesday for Portland. 'The charges, which forced the resig nation of Dr. Robinson rrom his local charge, were brought by Miss Elizabeth Skinner, a member of his parish. The young woman about one month ago de clared that Dr. Robinson had asked her to marry him, but during the last , few months his love had cooled .considerably and she understood he was paying at tentions to another young woman. . Resignation Requested. . "According to Miss Skinner, the rector had been attentive to her for the last nine years. , After Miss Skinner made public her 1 charges, Bishop . McKay Kmlth of the. Pennsylvania diocese, was asked to Investigate with the result that Dr. Robinson's resignation was re quested.; ' ' - " ;:, '- "Dr. Robinson refused to discuss the charges, but declared that when he was ordained he gave his word to follow the Instructions of his direct superior, the bishop. . Under these circumstances he had no right to refuse to resign when I. Ik hop Smith made the request he said. "Both Dr.. Robinson and Mlse Skinner have warm followers among the mem bers of the local parish and they have taken aides In the controversy. Many persons , advised Dr. Robinson against tendering his resignation, declaring that notwithstanding his ordination oath, the resignation was equivalent to an ac knowledgment of guilt" J A . Dr. Robinson is president of St Mar. tin's collegfe ; of Philadelphia, a home and school for destitute boys.; He had established a reputation as a particu larly able worker among men and boys.
