Last night the following telegram was sent to Dr. W. L .Dunn,

N. C, to ascertain his views on the statement issued by Dr.' Bur-.
roughs, placing himself in opposition to "Sanitary Sunday": O
Dr. W. L. Dunn, Asheville, N. C:
Do you think Dr. Burroughs expressed the sentiment of the med-:
ical society in regards. to Sanitary Sunday? . .- .
What do you think of his statement?
Signed, - EDITOR NEWS
o
This morning Dr. Dunn's answer
Editor The-News, Charlotte, N. C: f - 1
I cannot believe t&t Dr. Burroughs has reflected the opinion of a ma- r
jority of the medical society of our state, the members of which
have always manifested a most active interest in every philan
thropic cause without reference to their personal interests. While P
the profession lives by its practice, it has ever proven itself ready 4
without money and without price, to give its services when'neces
sary to suffering humanity and to encourage those outside its
ranks in philanthropic effort. And I believe when it understands
this question, put before it clearly and without confusion, .it will
feel that the president of the state society has acted hastily and
without due consideration in the matter.
Moreover, it is to be regretted that any citizen should in his
haste allow himself to attack the leader of our state who has
shown such unusual comprehension of the efforts of our profession
to improve the sanitary conditions of our people. Our governor $
did 'not make, as Dr. B. claimed, a proclamation appointing No-
vember 28th as Sanitary Sunday, consequently the doctor's official &
censure is unjustified and ill-advi sed. O
The action of Dr. Julian was with the full approval of the officers
of the North Carolina Association for the Prevention of Tubercu
losis. -

In discussing the article by Dr.
Burroughs in yesterday's News several
of the most prominent ministers in
this city made statements in which
they expressed their views.
The Rev. Br. H. H. Hulten of the
First Baptist Church said when ho
read the article by Dr. Burroughs and
especially the line in which he said
that "the clergy was too much inclin
ed to give gratuitous advice from the
pulpit on all subjects," he felt the
keenest resentment, and that " he
thought that as a subject to be preach
ed on from the pulpit, the "Sanitary
Sabbath" was a "strikingly appropri
ate" one. Continuing, he said: "The
minister's conception of the helpful
ness of the Gospel rs an all-inclusive
one. It embraces the physical as well
as the spiritual welfare of man. Christ
ministered to the body as well as to
the soul, hence the minister wTould be
in his legitimate sphere of service in
preaching on the sanitary problem."
Rev. Mr. Patterson's Statement.
Yhen asked about the statement
made by Dr. Burroughs in regard to
"Sanitary Sabbath" being observed,
Rev. R. L. Patterson, of the Lutheran
church of thfe city said: 1
"Dr. Burroughs is right in his atti
