r am loath to belleva the reports.
" x iared Bishop, Scadding this" morning,
"a the Bev, Mr. Robinson had been le
! ribed to me by those who should know
i s a genial, able and upright minister.
I have, however, already communicated
with the biefcop of Philadelphia and ex
pect to soon know what foundation
i : pre la to the report. If they are
true we do not doetre to have him la
tho dioctse. - ..'-.vi: !-''. ; v;
It Is possible that the young woman
mentioned in the dispatches- may have
become excited and involuntarily . ex
s sera ted matters.- It; Is also possible
tii at the reports were exaggerated.
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.
