San .\nlonio, Dec. 9. --ajor General Funston, commanding the department of the F'Oth, tonight replied to Ohe 1lev. .1. 9. GaibrelI, secretary of the 'xecu'ltive hoard of the 1l1ptist General Convention, explaining the general':s 1 reason for not ermitting revivals in the military cam, S here and along the border. Nitnerous Blaptist conventions' have adopited 'resolitions condemnintg what they understood to have been the' general', action, and suggestions were m1ade that 'residetit Wilson, as com mander in chief of the army, he asked tol take offieial cognizanee of the mat ter. A resoluittlo asking for informa tion on Ile controversy also has been introdneed in congress. General Fniston gave out copies of the letter to the press, in whlich lie says i par t: "'his whole disagreeableh incident with all of its annoyaice to tile, of course, arises from the statement 'on' Ie by you after your visit to Ile h.aditu:rtr'iy a couple of months ago, in wih you sought to obtain jiermis slion to conduct a series of revivals in the lierdei camps. You stated your lotisitne-s to Col. Barnum, chief of .staff. If Col. Barnum stated at. that time what denomination you holong ed to. it made no impression on my mind and if he had, It would have made no difference whatever. "I told that oflicer to explain to you fully that. while religious ser vices along the usual lines were con ducted in the camps by chaplains and othe! clergymen and were welcome. I e u)ld not give my consent to the holding of revivals, therein giving the word, as I was justified In doing, its usually accepted meaning. I told Colonel Barnum to explain to you why revival cervices woud be out of place in a military camp, citing the di:gracefi'l performance in San An . tonlo last winter as a n' ranphe'of CHR AND B CH 1/ Everybody can j fitable to the old Club during the ages and all are I Christmas spen< To provide a' To teach "the - To give youri up the little things To give you a 'hat revivals are apt to develop into, nd drawing to a certain extent on a eneral explanation as to how reviv Is or 'protracted' meetings, as they c re some tines called, are haually onducted.

"l'nder the circumstances yout can imagine my astonishm ient when I read your statements to the elf'ect that I lad said that I would not. all)w le soldi(ri to he told IhaI they were 'lost'. You must know as well as I do that the doctrine that sloluldl he preached to the men was never once conIsidered or mentioned and with all dlue court es~y I feel compelled to say that your mnaking repegtedly the sti'itemIent you are htloled as making was absolutely inex(usa ble and (1i( me a grate injustice. "'le only time the word 'lost' was used( by me was when I said that I (id not accept the view that because a maht put on his country's uniform lie was necessarily lost. "I say frankly that I would not want to take chances on allowing a series of revivals or protracted meet ings in these great camps. I am justi tied in giving the word revival Its usu ally accepted meaning-a series of meetings continuing day and night for an Indefinite period with loud ex hortation and singing and much emo tionalism. "Is It not. a fact that you were had ly put out because I could not let you have your way about conducting revivals in the camps and that you said to yourself: "Why the idea of that obstinate lit tle cuss not letting me do as I please and presuming that he knows more about what soldiers like than I do.
