" DR GRANT EXPANDS ON HIS THElll[lfiY‘ Does Not Retract-Hint at Clergy | Control by Money . t Jan. 2 Practically all whether Dr. Perey | Stickney Grant of the Protest- Episcopal Chureh of the Aseen Fifth avenue and Tenth street tried for heresy for his ut-| puipit disappeared Grant New York auestion as to rector ant is 1o be terances from the Dr before a plainly yesterday wher very large erowd that was more eurious than religious, not ¢ nly | reiterated the expreasions te which Bishop Willlam T. Manning had ob jeeted, but augmented and defended | them. About the same time Bishep Manning was preaching in New Ha- | to the text: *“Be theu faithful teath ven unte in & quiet way, haltingly 1 with oceasional refers Dr, Grant said in ef not only believed that was without the power had stated previously felt the time had come ideas to be eliminated as impossible of verifi- | assimilation, and was not a tes. feet that he Jesus Christ God that but for all & from religior cation, incapabié valid, But his sermon fense, for more than once he as-| sumed the offensive, intimating, for one thing, an attempt by moneyed in- terests to control the churches. Prepared for Trial, Grant expeets to be tried for At the outset he referred to who, as a Presbyterian, r heresy. After the serv. handing to the reporters he sald If there is to need all my of Dr. heresy Dr. Briggs, was tried f fee, when some of his notes, “1 want these back be a trial then I shall reference notes.” There are members of the congre- gation, too, who expect, and scem- ingly would welcome, a heresy trial. One woman said plainly that the hope of the workers in the church was) that Dr. Grant could have the church “for his own Toward the close Dr, Grant drew a wave of applause from his audience with a referer to “bunk” spoken in the churches. Handclapping, almost unknown at regular services in an Episcopal church, lasted several sec- onds. Incidentally Dr. Grant made 10 reference to his previous state- ment, also objected to, concerning consecration. Long before 11 o'clock, the hour set for the service, a mob had gath- ered at the church. When the serv- ice commenced there were at last 250 persons trying to get in the already overcrowded edifice. The church holds 640 people comfortably. There must have been nearly 1,200 inside and another couple of hundred in the doorways. In the audience were a Chinese, several negroes and a sur- prisingly large number of Jews. Police Take a Hand. After the service groups of men and women stood about for an hour discussing the sermon, taking sides, and in one instance getting into a noisy altercation that the police, of whom there were five present at the time, had to interrupt. For his support Dr. Grant drew on history, theology, philosophy, politics and psychoanalysis. He mentioned Senators Lodge, Borah and La Fol- lette, Freud, Jung and William James, Prof. Leighton, Bishop Henning of London, Dean Inge, Napoleon, Roose- velt, Darwin and the apostles Mat- thew, Mark and Luke. The actual text of the sermon was from the fifty-sixth chapter of Isaiah. “Behold 1 have given him for a witnesses to the people, leader and commander of the peopl Next he quoted Dr. Leighton: “Ideas are checks drawn on the bank of experience. If they are returned marked ‘no funds' they are false” and Willlam James, psychologist: “True ideas are those that we can as- similate, validate, corroborate and verify.” Then contending that “his- tory is a record of progressive ideas that progressively supplant dead ones,” Dr. Grant said that the method of growth is a supplanting or “get- ting rid of ideas that aren’t good for us and getting ideas that are good for ug.” He added: “Any one who as- serts that progress is hindering civili- zation you might say is blackjacking your soul.” Religion, he went on, should not be troublesome, but comforting. It should be simple, and man should not be held back in his mental path by “fantagies, beliefs and customs.” The Christian religion, he said, needs only the testimony of the soul. “It has the miracle in the sense of revealed wonder working laws of the human spirit.” As Bishop Henning had said, he quoted: "There are multitudes of clergymen who can get along without the miraculous.” He went on at some length to speak of instances in which science and religious beliefs had clashed. The psychologists have taught, he said, “that we want to be centrally or- ganized and to make our vnuronmom meet the needs of our natures.” In this connection he mentioned the de- mand of working people for plumb- ing in their houses and clean streets. Today, he coniinued, there is more reason for loving the God of life ‘han | there was in the past for loving the God of death. Today, we don’t have to “creep through life on some sort of a milk train of energy, we want to go from place to place on express trains, to go prnnv fast and to go long distances.” “A great deal of my mature lite has been spent getting rid of what 1 was taught in my youth? said Dr. Grant, and he went on to say that religious belief in the past was like a pebble in the shoe, unpleasant and painful. Cites Modern Instances. In several ways he referred to prog- ress in ideas and the different times. He spoke of Lodge, LaFollette and Borah as of the same party but hola- ing widely varying views.

Do you want an Amer- ican church which believes in free- dom rather than in authority? Then have it.
