THERE ARE many indications that the con-

with hopes OF the members that it will be sp-

SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 40. 1902

We HAVE received a letter from
Rev. Ernest NJ. Stires, rector OF st.
Tbomas's Church, New York, In
reference to an editorial article which
appeared 10 the Gazette on January
30. criticizing Bishop Potter for his al
legged statement OF disbelief 10 miracles
and likewise bis disbelief 10 the ictslli-
biity Of the Scriptures in other re-
spects. 10 bis letter Mr.. Stires says:
LAS you know how newspapers are
made We might fairly have expected you
TO determine the reliability of your In
formation before rejecting so severely
upon Bishop Potter. Ia my certainty
that your criticism was based upon
statements falsely attributed to him,
l have ventured to enquire of the man
most Immediately concerned as to
whether there Is any truth whatsoever
in your statement OF his vlews," aud be
encloses q copy of Bishop Potter's reply
to bis letter In which the Bishop says
"The statements 10 regard to my dis-
belief in miracles are utterly false. L
have never said, or held, anything
which, in the remotest degree, would
warrant them"
II an injustice was done Bishop Potter
no one regrets it more than the Gszstte
aud no one reioices more In his assur-
snce of his orthodoxy in the matter re-
ferred to. The Castles criticism was
based upon @ press dispatch sent from
New York and was not made until
two days after said dispatch was pub
lished-ample time for the Bishop to
have denied the statements attributed
to him. So far as we can ascertain
Bishop Potter paid 70 attention to
the published expressions of his views
until questioned upon the subject by
Rev. Mr.. Stires, who enclosed him the
GazsIts's editorial, and this we think is
passing strange. In his letter to Mr..
stlres the Bishop entirely ignores the
criticism OF his alleged uttersnces in q
recent address in which be was quoted |
as having said:-
"If theologians wish to regain |
their lost Intellectual leadership, |
or even to possess an influence on
the thoughtful part of the community |
coordinate with that OF poets, philos-
ophers and men Of science, they must
throw aside the dogmas OF an iDfallible
Bible as completely and frankly as
Professionals have thrown aside the
dogma of an iDfsllible Pope"
The Bishop likewise ignores the pub
Iished statement that when he was told
of certain ultsrances Of Prot. Pearson.
who did express his disbeliefin miracles,
be said. st is an enevits5!e step In the
OF emancipation" If the
Bishop was also misquoted 10 these mat
lsrs we again rejoice, but II he was not
We contend that be Justly deserved the
criticism he received, from the stand
point of those who believe in the Bible
and in every word contained therein.
