Every reputable citizen who is capable of com

Bishop Greer's decision in the case of the ''sum-

clergymen is unanimous in approving the Blsh-

Although details of the evidence upon which
Bishop Greer based his decision have not been
made public, the real issue is clear without
them. AT bottom there were only two questions
to be answered the first related to the nten-
tons Of the Summer" the second to his meth
DDS. Was he seeking accurate information or
was he looking for excitement and sensational
revelations? With these motives as alternatives
he could not justly escape conviction of gross
1t is impossible to believe that New York
clergyman, unless immOderatey stupid could
expect to make even the most trivial "sOciOlog-

Mr. Mears pursued. In a city where settlement

efficiently administered a minister lacking the
intelligence to employ the only adequate means
