DEFENDS EPlSc0PALIANIsM
Philadelphia Rector Denounces
Critic as Sensational and IN
worthy OF Consideration.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Philadelphia, Dec. Taking issue with
the Rev. DR.. W s. Ratnsford, former rector
OF st. Georges Church, New York. who
he declares is now scarcely known in Epis-
copal Church affairs and incompetent to
crltlcise il as he is reported to have done in
Hartford Wednesday, the Rev. Dr.. Alfred
O. Mortimer, rector of St Marks Episcopal
Church, here. declared to-day that DR..
Rainsford's remarks should not be taken
seriously
DR.. Rainsford was quoted in an address at
Hartford as declaring that the Episcopal
Church was undemocratic, unprogressive
and steadily losing its grasp.
Il DO not approve of anything Dr. Rains
ford says said DR.. Mortimer. He lives
by sensationalisn. His own record is such
that no serious minded persons would at
tach much importance to what he says.
When he preached here in Philadelphia
about eight years ago he gave utterance
to such a sensational sermon that a hun
dred prominent Episcopal parishioners pc
utioned the bishop to inhhit him.
He is much more competent to discuss
lions and tigers or big game shooting in
Africa than anything connected with Epis-
copal Church affairs, in which he has not
been prominent for number Of years
His utterances are doubtless only an
other instance of his inclination to say
something outre in order to get himself
talked about
DR.. Rainsford's alleged remarks were
made at a church dinner in Hartford.

cepal Church is that ii is not democratic
The English church never has been dem

toned every democratic movement that
has come up from Puritanism until the
onies she is not democratic. Il is thus in
Canada. She never has been able to fit
herself to the conditions of life in this
country.
We have been and are eristocratic. and
have never been in sympathy with the
democratic spirit We reach the learned
is not democratic. The Church has al
ways done this We don't understand our
age. We don't understand this wonderful
new child of God, this baby, Democracy.
Why is it that the Methodists and the
Baptists have swept things before them
over this country? Because they are dem
twenty men into the fold of God where
we have gathered one? 1t is because we
lave i. gloried too much , in our splendid her
selves to the needs of man, and because
we rely too much upon our beautiful
sacraments.

keep men out Of our Church l believe we
are going to, be democratic We've got to
