DR. KING REFUSES TO TAKE PULPIT Dr, Wicks Expresses Regret at Action, Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks, pastor of All Souls’ Unitarian Church, today expressed regret that Pr. Harry Andrews King, superintendent of the Indianapolis district of the Methodist Episcopal church, had refused his invitation to fill Dr. Wick’s pulpit. The invitation grew out of an attack by Dr. King on ‘ liberal views” held by Dr. Wicks, at a meeting of Methodist ministers last Monday. Dr. King's letter. “My Dear Dr. Wicks—l have your letter inviting me to occupy your pulpit and present my views to your congregation. In view of the circumstances under which this invitation is extended, I can not possibly accept it. You were right in your kind assumption that my criticism was directed to your views as published in the press and was, in no sense, personal. Assuring you of my good will to you and yours, I am fraternally yours.” Pro Skaters in Races till United. Press CHICAGO, Jan. 26. —Bobby McLean and Norval Baptie, professional ice skaters, meet in a series of three races here Sunday.
