Dr. Morgan Dix, DR.. II. Y. Satterlee, DR.. John W:
Brown Dean Hoffman and several professors OF
the General Theological Seminary were among the
signers to the protest, which omitted names, put
was understood to be directed against Dr Newton
In the meantime Father Ignatius has been in
dustriousy at work in his effort TO draw DR.. New
ton into a controversy. He sent the rector a let
ter on April II, in which he asked him pontedly
whether he believed in the miraculous birth ana
physical resurrection of the Saviour. To this
letter Dr. Newton made no reply, and the monk
discussed the matter in several sermons. DR.: New
ton in a recent sermon, spoke of the lawlesSnes
of certain public men, which was understood TO
be a reference to the monk.
