HERESY TRIAL BEGINS
Judicial Commission of General
Assembly Hears Grant Case.
HOLDS ALL.DAY SESSION
DR.. Grant Replies to Charges

Convention Hail. Steel Pier. Atlantic City.
May 2o.-With the reference IT the Grant
heresy case 10 the judicial commission and
the overtures asking for inquiry into the
orthodoxy OF the two Union Seminary pro-
fessors referred 10 the committee on bills
and overtures, the machinery Of the Pres
byterian Genera Assembly was fairly
started to-day. whose output may be the
dropping OF minister from the Church IN
PENNSYLVANIA and a heresy trial IN the
Presbytery OF New York.
The judicial commission held an all-day
session in the Hotel Chaifonte. examining
the evidence in the case of Or. w D. Grant,
who is charged with the dissemination OF
doctrine detrimental 70 the Bible and 10 the
standards Of the Presbyterian Church. Spe-
ciically the charges are these:
First-Discrediting the deity Of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
notwithstanding the doctrine OF
Christs mediatorial office
d-Discrediting the virgin birth Of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Fourth-Discrediung the resurrection OF
the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead
Fifth-Discrediting the Holy Scriptures az
the word OF God. written. Immediately IN
spired and the rule Of faith and life.
While the judicial commission tries the
case. IT must report its findings 70 the as
sembly Speaking Of the charges against
him, DR.. Grant said
You may lie fully satisfied that an eccle-
siastical trial FOR heresy is one OF the
divinelv ordained means for the broaden
ing OF the human mind with respect 10 re-
ligious ideas. so that you come 10 look
upon every additional trial Tor heresY az
helping 10 render heresv trials less prop
able in the future. People begin 70 see
that all religion has been an evolution
growing from less 10 more, from lower 10
higher and that its full expression las by
no means even vet reached a fnality. Ana,
very likely the people who are your most
jealous detractors are the people VINO are
the most in need Of the educatlve dlscl-
plne Of Your heresv trial. and you must be
ready 20 endure the ordeal for their sakes,
as they are not liable 10 learn their lesson
ar any less a cost In order 10 be suitably
impressed they need the spectacular ana
the dramatic.
Then. II you have lived for fifty or more
years. and have kept measurabv well in
formed respecting what has been going on
In religious circles you have seen that
though one religious teacher after another
has been placed on trial for practically the
same offence as that with which YOU are
charged. and though perhaps found guilty
by the court. yet the cause OF religious
freedom itself has by no means suffered.
but on the contrary, has gained ground
and has found new friends and more ar
dent advocates.

Delegates to the State convention
may be elected either in primaries
