So I have a great mind to adopt that as my regular method die heresy trial drop. And it eems, theri, that a preacher who is practically an agnostic and who openly denies nearly all the beliefs of his church, is still allowed to occupy his pulpit and preach his unbelief to a crowded house. It isn't strange that men will hold such views as Dr. Grant holds. The strange thing is that he can stay in an orthodox pulpit and defy his Bis- takes us back so tar into the past that it seems almost like a dream. But it is very real, I hop to put him out.

Dr. Grant is one of the precious stones, all burial there modern educated thinkers, and m an underground I palace where he has kicked plum out of the they have been hidden for more orthodox traces and uttered than three thousand years. And some remarks that sound very now ail these things are brought terrible to Bishop Manning's or forth to throw light on how a thodox ears. There was talk of wThf wS4 tha l"- heresy trial, but Dr. Grant's off time. The kmg himself has heresies are proving to be so not yet been brought out and popular that Bishop Manning is shown to the wrld. We are about to get cold feet and let ative truths. But he merely denies certain orthodox errors and has nothing positive to take their place. For instance, he denies that Jesus, while on earth, had the power . of God denies the orthodox claim that Jesus really WAg God; Well, he is right about that. Jesus was not God while on earth; and he never claimed to be. He said, "The Father is greater than I People who still think the dip lomats are working for the ben efit of the common man should give their attention to the Near East squabble. After the World! War, the natiots thought the Turkey which caused so mu trouble in the past was dead, ah they started to make -plans fop a big juicy dinner. Imagine their consternation when they discov ered tnat Turkey was alive and had absorbed so much Greece that there was not enough son left to supply a decent throne for some other kins young son - . t But m&m than that, Sim was enough, oil in the Turkey to make an excelleat pie, nd John Bull was expeetin to eat mo of it himself. So when he discov ered that he was in danger of losing his dinner, his rage an disappointment knew no limits. His first thought was to Kick some oil out of the Turkey, but when he discovered that he could not do so without hurting: his foot, he turned! around and looked for help. His conscience' came to his rescue and he thought? of the poor Christian Armep who were being persecuted b the dreadful turkey. Of course the fact that Mr. Bull had give no attention to the persecution of Christians on the European feeding grounds of the Turkey in past years made no different for he was not so hungry then,. Hence he was nothing more than a perfect human being. But Dr. Grant stops there, and lie fails to get hold of the fact that Jesus had a pre-human existence that he was a powerful spirit being in heavfen BEFORE he was a man. And that at his resurrectidn he ceased to be a man and became a spirit being again. Two changes of nature from spirit to human, and then f rom human back to spirit. Dr. Grant seems tohink Jesus was NEVER anything but a man, and never will be anything else. In fact, he don't seem to be- and it is well known that Mr ine ratner heart and conscience and other things like thaW , . . J J Mr. Hull was very anxious io get Uncle Sem to come over and help him secure his oil so he could ease his conscience. But. ;Bb pces aispatcnes seem te maicaie tnat when Uncle Sam loosed oyer the matter, he de cided to have the oil pie for hin self. Now Mr. Bull -ia more en raged than ever.
