- +28 PROPOSESCHUGH DROP CREED RLE New Yerk Clergyman Askss New Standard for Epis- ccpal Baptism. E7 the Associated Piess PHILADELPHIA. Februery 8.—Droy ping of the Apostles’ Creed as a qua; fication of baptism into the church and | substitution of the principles of th» beatitudes as contained in the sermon on the mount were wged by the Rev. Dr. Robert Norwood of St. Bartholo- mews, New York. He addressed minis- tars and laymen of the Protestant Epis- | copal Church from all sections of the country, who vesterday beogan a two- day conference of liberal churchmen. From the trend of discussions that foilowed, however, it was cvident that not all delegates were willing to drop the Nolief in creeds for a qualification of baptism ~ Terming salvation an attitude of the ' mind. a feeling of friendliness toward | tie spirit. Dr Norwood characterized himself as “non-credal. one unable to accept the mystical dicta of the theolo- gians.” The mind of Christ, he main- | tained, was non-credal and non-ecclesi- | astical. “Christ did not think of the King- dom of God as a church,” he asserted, | “but the idea of church was read into | his teachings by an age already begin- | ning to be ecclesiastical and preposter- ously episcopal: to Christ, the Kingdem ©f God was a social relation.” In place of the “confused views" of the Federal administration, which at| one moment advocates a billion ex- penditure for the Navy and the next asks for avolition of the submarine in ‘war, the church shouid lift a united voice for peace, the conference was told tonight by George W. Wickersham. for- mer Attorney General. The church should “tear aside the blindfolds placed on the eves of the people by politicians,” he declared, and | fulfill the obligations assumed when it | urged the people to war. Too long has | the history of the church been one of | ‘war, with the church often unwilling to | arcept peace except at the price of | Fielding to its ecclesiastical authority. he said. He asserted that even church hymns are too much concerned with metaphors of war and that the church should speak now for peace. — LARGE ALCOHOL PLANT UNEARTHED IN DETROIT Federal Agents Confiscate Its Equipment and 16,600 Gallons of Illicit Fluid.
