that were true there was all the more
rason why the public should have the

pairing the evidence hest calculated 70
suosiantiate his charges. and that. be-
side the affbdavits OF Messrs. Nash and

CLERGYMAN

The advanced theological position taken
by Rev. John II. Appliance OF Attleboro
In his address at the session OF the Cnan.
ming conference OF Unitarian churches in
Newport has caused much comment
Mr.. Applebee was speaking on "some
Opportunities OF American Unitarianism. "
The one grand opportunity. he said. was
10 at once accept all things modern sci
ence has revealed and 10 dissent from all
dogma or theory not in accord with inem.
Also TO reject all the so-called miracles,
including that OF the resurrection Of the
body OF Christ, not in accordance with
modern science. He urged also the ac-
ceptance In its fullest sense or the theory
OF evolution.
Let US show the people" he said, that
the fires OF religion burn brightest on he
altars OF science"
Mr. Applebee recently came from Eng
land and is very forceful speaker.
