DE. ¢ERCY S. GRANT World's recent messages from Ro- man Catholic, Episcopalian and Meth odist Episcopal prelates in various scctions of the country denouncing his statements as “flagrantly disloyal” and “insignificant babblings. There was no word, however, from the office of hop William T. Man- ning to indicate what, if action might be taken by the head of the Protestant copal diocese of New York toward asking Dr. Grant to ex- plain his utterances. In an interview with the United Press, Dr. Grant said he would devote his sermon next Sunday to a further development of his ideas of the rela- tion of human thought to religious dogma. Declaring we must “sweep the cobwebs from our minds,” the rector of the Church of the Ascension again ridiculed the idea of miracles and again denied any change could take place either in a man, or a build- ing, by the passing over it of con- secrating hand “The Chri ¢ of Christ's day,” he said, “was ty by a simple man walking about the countryside preaching wherever followers might gather to listen, One of his greatest sermons was delivered from a moun- tain side—the Scrmon on the Mount. 1s it not possible for a man, a clergy- man, a teacher, to say as much on a street corner as within the walls of a costly tax-exempt pile of stone? “The partial use of over 200,000 churches in the United States is cne of .the most wasteful facts in the country. Christianity of the early days ‘was the hope, the refuge of the poor and downtrodden. But I fear the poor are sort of out of it now.” Defines His Duty “T have been a clergyman for over ferty years,” Dr. Grant said in dis- cussing his right to speak his mind freely in the pulpit. 1 must have learned something about religions in that time. My duty, as I conceive it. is to teach and to help others. 1If 1 did not express the views which have come to me ‘through my years of study and search for truth, if I did not tell others of the truths which 1 hate learned and which have helped me, 1 should be wasting my life, 1 should not be keeping faith i In an interview concerning her re- actions to Dr. Grant's remarks, Miss toyden' told report “My faith is that Jesus Christ was a perfect revelation of the Spirit of God, but that He assumed all our limite- tions. To speak, therefore, of His having equal power with God is sense- less."” On the other hand, Miss Royden stipulated that she belleved every one of the miracles in the New Testament, from the raising of the dead to the calming of the storm. But, she said, she believed Christ performed all ot them by powers which we, too, should be able to use, inasmuch, she said, as the power of God is here in the world now. Miss Royden emphati- cally disagreed with those clergymen who think the church should dis- cipline D. Grant. “He ig seeking the truth, as we all are,” she said, “and the only way to get it is to let every one speak what is honestly in his mind.” She dis- agrees with Dr. Grant's theory that consecration of churches is an inheri- tance from witcheraft. “It is just a human instinct,” she said, “to consecrate whatever is sacred to us.” A Catholic View Archbishop James J. Keane, head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Towa, telegraphed the World that in his opinion Dr. Grant's remarks “serve only to illustrate a deplorable carelessness in public speech of a man who has professed his religious faith and acknowledged his religious duty by the ceremonial of consecration.” Archibishop Keane added that “The bible from its first to its last page asserts that in some true sense arm in some modes God, who is every- where, is present more particularly in certain places.
