Glasgow, May 14.-Scotch theology,
always a matter of subtle distinction,
has been occupied during the past few
days with distinctions more subtle
than ever before. The trouble all
started over the so-called conversion
of Princess Ena and it appears to have
reached stage where the ecclesiastics
are splitting hairs as to whether she
was foreordained to join the Catholic
church and, If SO, where the wrong.
For instance, John M. Wylie, inter-
viewed upon the subject, says:
THE determinist believes that mans
thoughts, words and actions are de.
termined by his heredity and environ.
ment But he contends that human
beings can be improved by improving
their surroundings.
The Calvinist believes, or ought to
believe, that from the most remote
ages of eternity God has foreordained
whatsoever comes to pass; that certain
men and angels have been predesti-
mated to everlasting happiness and
others to everlasting misery and that
their fate has been irrevocably fixed
"Calvinists insist that I appear to
glory in the perversion and marriage
of Princess Ena to the king of Spain.
They are mistaken. really disapprove
of the entire transaction. But l con-
tend that Calvinists are completely
out Of court so far as this question is
concerned. To my mind, Roman
Catholicism, whether it is to be found
in the Church of Rome, the Church of
England, the Church Of Scotland, or
the Free Church of Scotland, is a
: most pernicious system.
