Fervent Worship Costs Straton Third of Deacons, Who Say Blond Soul Saver, 16, Started It All. - BY MARIAN HALE NEA Service Writtr -> NEW YORK, June 28.—Just how emotional may one become in his religion and still S& in good taste? Rev. John Roach Straton, famous fundamentalist leader who has been in many a theological fight, is riding the waves of anew storm within his Calvary Baptist Church congregation over that question. In the background of the controversy is the smiling face of Uldine Utley/girl evangelist extraordinary and protege of Rev. Straton. A third of the deacons of Calvary Church, one of the most noted Baptist institutions in the country, has resigned. They charge Rev. Straton with sponsoring demonstrations of “Pentecostalism” in his church, and voice their disapproval. Sang in a Strange Tongue Rev. Straton has denied, in numerous and lengthy statements, assertions of the withdrawing deacons. But he admits that his sculptor son, Warren Straton, 20, had a “visitation by the Holy Spirit,” in the course of which he lost his natural voice and for a time lay on the floor of the Calvary chapel singing beautifully and rhythmically In a strange tongue. Though denying he subscribes to “Pentecostalism,” Rev. Straton has indicated he is a thorough believer in of tongues” as a religious phenomenon. He long has upheld “divine healing.” Uldine Utley, bob-haired and blond, started all the new trouble at Calvary, the estranged deacons say. Uldine came out of the west last year to shine in New York as an exhorter. Dr. Straton presented her at Calvary, and she conducted many spectacular services there. Out-Aimecd Aimee Blue-eyed, blond, radiantly healthy, she swayed great crowds In a manner that not even Aimee Semple McPherson, visiting New York - several months later, could achieve. The girl's influence has lived on in Calvary, the deacons narrate. It has grown, they say, into special services for small bands of the faithful at which worship becomes hysterical. They picture worshippers bursting into weird song, sobbing, wailing, falling prone, rolling and beating their hands on the floor,, going into trances. % r Dr. Straton. who recently was rebuked by his board of deacons for becoming affiliated with anew Georgia organization called the "Supreme j Kingdom,” refers to the authors of the new charges as “dissenters who ' invent gross caricatures and flimsy falsifications of things they know ! nothing of.” Gone? Good! He is glad the dissenting deacons resigned, he said. In colorful metaphor he added: “My 'hand once more is firmly on the throttle, and despite the latest explosion and other puny efforts to throw a monkeywrench into the machinery or put goose-grease on the tracks, the old train, thank pod, is still making the grade.” After conceding that his artistically-inclined son had figured in picturesque religious rites, he said ke would deliver several sermons giving his own views on ’’Pentecostalism” after he returned from his vacation. Not far from Calvary Baptist Church is the Glad Tidings Tabernacle, a fortress of faith in emotional religion from which Uldine Utley recruited a coterie of aids for her New York appearances. While Calvary church is upset over “Pentecostalism,” the Glad Tiding Tabernacle continues its Pentecostal way joyfully and energetically. “Let Go, Let Gud'/’ Almost in the heart of sophisticated New York, the Tabernacle Is the scene of manifestations which beggar description. There emotionalism is unchecked. No one really “baptized in the Spirit” will fail to “speak with tongues,” the Tabernacle band holds. '“Let go, let God!” is the motto of revivalists there. They all know Rev. Straton, for he attended meetings which Aimee Semple McPherson conducted at the Tabernacle. Warren Straton, they say, is a “true disciple.” Warren, they say, can salve souls just as efficiently as can Uldine Utley or Mrs. McPherson.
