BISHOP CHIDED BY CANTERBURY Barnes’ Communion Debate Offensive to Church, Prelate Holds. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 24.—The letter of the Archbishop of Canterbury re- proving the Bishop of Birmingham, | who is an adherent to the theory of evolution and a foe of the doctrine of transubstantiation, was regarded to- day as confirming the primate’s repu- tation as a diplomatist and peace- maker. Views differed, however, as to the effect the letter would produce upon the controversy. The wrchifThop, writing _the Rishop of Birmingham, the Right Rev. Ernest Willlam Barnes, in answer to the latter's open letter, chided him on the ‘aunner in which he had voiced his_views. The denunciation of the doctrine of transubstantiation was legitimate, the archbishop wrote, but he deplored that Bishop Barnes had spoken "of the holy communion in a way which— quite reasonably, I think—gives of- feise to a great body of churchmen and churchwomen.” “The archhishop declared he thoght this was uninten- tional. Passes Evolution By. The archbishop touched rather light- Iy on the question of reconciling the theory of evolution with the Bible story of creation.

Bullock-Web- | ster interrupted the service to de-| nounce Bishop Barnes for his utter- ances, he wrote: “You will not doubt my condemnation of the unseemly in- cident.” No one In England, he decla desired to_drive Bishop Barn, Rome or Tennessee, as the h implied when he wrote the archbishop. The general view of the latest let- ter is that it has poured oil on the troubled waters, but it is questioned whether it will allay the storm. Ac- cording to some opinion, the arch- bishop’s letter shows him on the side of Bishop Barnes, and it is argued that the bishop is bound to repl: Among the many angles discussed, there is the contention that the dis- pute has proved completely that the church is very much alive and the encrmous interest manifested in the | affair must be a revelation to skeptics. | Scores Barnes’ Views.

Dealing with Bishop Barnes' dec- laration that he ought to affirm “that the doctrine of transubstantiation is untrue,” the archbishop wrote: “In your natural, legitimate desire | to denounce the few in the Church of England who hold or teach transub- | stantiation, you were led to speak of | the holy communion in a way which —quite reasonably, I think—gives real offense to a great body of church- | men and churchwomen, not the least of those who are able to give scholar- ly, as well as reiterant, considera- tion to the sacramental doctrine which our church upholds.” rails and car wheels.
