GRAFTON FHV0RS
UNION WITH EAST
SAYS MOVEMENT IS NOT FOR THE
INAUGURATION OF CHURCHES
BUT FOR RECOGNITION.
OPPOSES ANY ANGLO-ROMAN,
He Declares That Russian and Anglican
Conmunions Have Points in
Common.
OPEN PULPIT MAKES TROUBLE.

FOND DU LAC, Wis. March O.
Special bishop Charles G. Grafton
earnestly believes that the union of the
Anglican and eastern orthodox church
es is sure to come, although it may be
some time before this step is accom-
pIished.
The bishop has returned from a trip
through the east where he had several
conferences with Episcopal prelates rel
ative to the AngIo-Roman union which
was organized in the city of New York
to promote the reunion of the Anglican
church with the Apostolic See.
Open Pulpit Makes Trouble.
THE manifest leaning toward Rome
on the part of a few high churchmen, is
undoubtedly due to dissatisfaction over
the so-called open pulpit canon promuI-
gated at the last general assembly of
the Protestant Episcopal church at Rich
mond." said Bishop Grafton.
Apropos OF the proposed lntcrcommu-
Mon with the eastern church, Bishop
Grafton said,
Union With Eastern Church.
This organization is entirely different
from and IS in no way Il precedent for
the pro-ROman association, which looks
church with Rome. The two movements
are entirely different.
That there is more hope of the es-
tabllShing Il Christian fellowship with
the east than there is of union with
Rome, Is seen from the fact that we
agree so largely already with the eastern
churches.
we agree with the easterns in that
while allowing Il primacy OF honor to
the Roman 20, we reject absolutely its
claims of supremacy. We believe that
the modern view Of medieval mon
archical supremacy, is entirely different
from the position it held in the early
ages.
Points of Similarity.
along with the easterns we reject
the dogmas Of papal infaIlibility and
immaculate conception Of the Blessed
Virgin; we allow the marriage of the
clergy. we administer the sacrament
in both kinds, and we alike hold our
services in a language understood by
the people.
Agreeing as fully as we do, and
retaining the ancient orders and
priesthood, and accepting the deci-
sions of the united church. the estab-
lishment Of communion with the east
is not a practical impossibility. The
one great stumbling block is in the
Nicene creed over the words and the
SON. As they were not in the creed
as originally promulgated, the east
crners think we should omit them.
and there are some of our bishops who
are willing to do so.
Union with Rome on the other hand.
seems in no way possible. The Pope and
the Roman church have denied among
other things, the validity Of Anglican or
ders. Anglican priests, even those who
are Roman, are rs convinced of thc
validity of their orders and sacramcnts
as they are of the existence of God"

SCENE IS AWFUL.

From the moment that the floor gave
way and precipitated the children mo
the burning ruins of the building. it was
seen that any attempt to save the pupils
would be useless. 70 go into the burn
ing structure would be suicidal, and all
the parents could do was to look on and
pray that their" children would be
saved.
The apparatus for fighting fire in the

forts were made at first to quench the
flames, but they were fruitless, and the
