FOND DU LAC Wis, May O.
Special. despite the statements of
Canon Howard Il. St. George of Nasho-
.ah that pro-Roman movement was
nauguratcd six months before the pas
sage of the much-talked-about canon 10,
Bishop Grafton clings to his first con
IGNITION and declares that not only is
the canon causing all of the unrest but
that it is unconstitutional and will be
repealed or changed.
Bishop Grafton was asked for Il
statement relative to the charges made
by Canon St. George that Father 81
courtney Fay, a former worker in the
diocese of Fond du Lac and particu-
arly close friend of the bishop while
III the west organized a movement on
Rome TO make terms" which later, for
some reason, fell through. The bishop
made no direct reply, but authorized the
following:
The secession from our church to
Rome Will do our church no harm. In
crossing the ocean waves sometimes
break over the sides of the ship, but its
progress is not retarded and the water
soon runs out through the scupper holes.
There is now unrest in both parts of
the Catholic ChurCh-Rumau and our
own. \ party called the ModcrnistS,
with their able leaders, like George Iy-
rcll and Able Loisy, have left, and we
read that three Roman Catholic bishops
in Europe have resigned their sees. Very
likely the departure of men i'll the Ru-
man and in our own communion will be-
eventually to the advantage of both
churches.
1T is well known that there are two
extreme groups of men i'll our church.
Little knots maybe, which are now be-
ing eliminated.
There are the extreme 'hroads,' who
are not unlike the Modcrni~ts in Rome,
who agree with Or. Crapsey, Rev. Cox
and others, deny the Scriptures to be
the word of God, the virgin birth of
Christ and the resurrection of his cruel
fled body Some of these have been
tried and dcposed and others are quietly
leaving the ministry.
One Logical Outcome.
"The other extreme is composed of
those who believe in the divine right of
the present monarchlal papPcy and that
the end of the great movement III the
Anglecina church is reunion with Rome.
As the later is an imp0sSbility, the logic
al outcome of such beliefs is to put one
self under the Roman jurisdiction.
1T will be better for the Anglican
communion if they go thlther, for II
will help to make clear her true posi-
ton. The Anglican church along with
the great eastern churches with their
bishops and their 100 or more million
followers, have held, that as witnessed
