CRAPSEY VERDICT TURNS.
Attorney for Churchman-Def Says
Prosecution Is in No Position
to Throw Stones.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-That the bish
op and standing committee of western
New York were in no position to throw
stones at Rev. DR.. a. S. Crapsey, rector
of st. Andrews church, Rochester, con-
victed of heresy, was the statement made
by Edward NJ. Shepard, attorney for DR..
Crapsey. He was speaking on the APP
peal for q reversal of the sentence of
expulsion from the church.
Decision was reserved on the motion
to dismiss the appeal when the matter
came up yesterday for hearing before
the Episcopal court of review, Lafayette
place. 1t was agreed to withhold deci-
sion until the case had been heard in
full. The appeal is from a decision OF
the diocesan court in Rochester, which
found DIR. Crapsey guilty of heresy In
denying the virgin birth of Christ.
Edward NJ. Shepard showed that the
court at Batavia III stating the supposed
doctrine of the church had themselves
affirmed the gross heresy known as Sa-
bellianism or Patripassianism, and that
the bishop and standing committee of
western New York were in no position to
throw stones at Dr. Crapsey for heresy;
that heresy lay in the absolute atfirma-
ton that Jesus Christ is God" whereas
the Godhead of Christ was, according to
the doctrine of the church, derivative and
not absolute, there being only one God,
and not three Gods.

within an hour after posting the
notice of the failure on the door
Of the bank, by throwing himself

Mir. MacFadyen appears TO have gone

The engineer reported having run over
an obstruction in the tunnel and Il

It is rumored that the failure of P.

Of Arbuthnot & Co, bankers of Madras,
was connected with the cotton market
but as Mr.. MacFadyen was the sole
partner in Europe it is difficult to obtain
information on the subject.

First then, as the word would seem
to indicate, home is an Enclosure, a

the hurry of life. The dictionary can
give us but short etymology for the
word; we find it without antecedents

has claimed, with some degree perhaps
of cOnceit, that the French have no
word for 'home" 1t would be inter
esting TO discover the equivalents of

modern. Such q search would prob
ably reveal the comparatively modern
differentiation of the family home from
the stockaded village, the camp of the
tribe, the fertilization of the clan. The
home is the slow and comparatively
recent emphasis of the family. 1t is

But this inclosure in order to be a
home of civilized man must be more
than a place of eating and sleeping,
more than shelter from wind and
weather, a last resort when there is
no other place to go TO. 1t must be a
place for creation as we'll as for re

self-discovery, place where one may
invite ones soul to commune with
