NEW YORK, Jan; 21, Dr. Percy .Stickney .1 Grant, in. the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ascension, crowded aa never be fore, reaffirmed today the utter ances whlcft prompted Bishop Wil liam T. Manning to-make a formal demand Friday that he either re cant or resign from the ministry. Speaking from the pulpit of the Fifth Avenue Church in which he has been rector for 30 years, Dr. Grant failed to retract a single one of the statements which caused Bishop Manning's action and led 'churchmen to discuss the prob ability of a trial for hereby. In stead of retracting. Dr. Grant re peated: "Your soft comes home from col- Ll lcige," Dr. Grant said In closing. "You gay, 'son let's go to church,' ' ao you . want -your son 10 repiy, I 'father don't ask me to listen to all of that bunk.' " At the same hour members of St. -Simeon's Episcopal Church In I the Bronx passed resolution call i Ing upon the bishop and the eccles iastical authorities to take steps to enforce the law and "canons of the churcR In such cases made and provided." .. . The resolution charged that Dr. Grant had cast reproach upon the sanctify of holy matrimony had made statements tending to en couragement of the violation of the ordination vows of the clergy; had denied the miraculous ulements of the gospel; the Divinity of Jesus Christ, and the Christian faith aa contained in the Apostle's Creed." Even the aisles of the Church of the Ascension, one of the fash ionable places of wonshlp. of the metropolis were crowded' during Dr. Grant a sermon. The divorced wife of the mil lionaire, Wj E. D. Stokes, Mrs. Phillip Lyding. fiancee of Dr. Grant, sat in the iirt pew. Dr. Grant announced their engagement several months ago, though the canons of the Episuopal Church are against the remarriage of di vorced persons. Crowd Cheers Minister The close of Dr. Grant'n sermon brought a. sudden silence, then a great burst of applause. Silent The Prince of Wales has his own estates, appertaining to his t.tle, -which are sufficient for his support. Princess Mary married onu of the richest men In the kingdom, Viscount LaBcelles, so there was no dilHo.ulty in her casn, although. King GUe'orge had prec edents a plenty for going to par liament for a money giant If ne had thought it. necessary to do so. The King's youngest sons, in starting households of their own must have subsidies appropriate to their stations In life, and par liament either must make grants fpr them or their father must finance them from his own for tune. Although King George's wealth Is a matter of guess work, he probably might well afford to launch his sons In life financially If it was Judged by ordinary standards, but custom, strong in England, entitles him to expect the national exchequer to pro vide for them. Custom' forbids the King's sons to work for a living, except In such employment as tha army or navy, where the pay is, lnsnin c,nt. It also compels them to live up to their position. S The embarrassing duty fell on Queen Victoria of approaching parliaments for grants for. her younger children and also because med with pleasure at being able to visit povernor Craig and finding hint much improved .afler weeks of discouraging reports from Ms bedside. The reunion of Senator Sim mons and Governor Craig, both veterans of hotly contested State political battles and loyal friends, each holding a deep devotion for the other, took place at the Home of the latter on Swannahoa Drive and as they clasped handa, two men, both having served their State well, were again youths for several houra.
