OXFORD COLLEGE DEAN
DEPRIVED OF LICENSE
His Recently Published Book
Incurs Severe Censure
of Bishop.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
OXFORD. August 26.-Heavy ecclesiasti-
cal censure has fallen on the Rev. j. n.
Thompson, dean Of divinity at Masdalen
College. The Bishop of Winchester has
recalled the license to exercise the cure
of souls which had previously been grant
ed 10 Mr.. Thompson. in view of cer-
tain teachings in a book recently pub
lished.'
The book in question is Miracles of the
New Testament which, as Mr.. Thomp-
son himself says in his preface. leads Ito
the hypothesis that the original events
underlying Nhese traditions need not be
regarded as miraculous
Strikes at Doctrine.
Mr.. Thompson's book strikes at some
of the leading doctrines Of orthodox
Christianity. OF the Virgin birth he
says:
The positive evidence for that fact
must be pronounced to be exceedingly
weak The negative evidence is very
strong His Interpretation of the resur-
rection as described in the New Testa-
ment. is that it Is not a physical fact al
ALL but a spiritual fact, clothed IN tha'
form of story.
Again he says, -IHe NOTION lHdl JtSus
worked miracles is 1--WE beleveD quite as
inconsistent with the doctrine of the
incarnation as the idea that His body OF
His mind or His normal nature, were
not really human
"The distinctly miraculous element III
these stories (the gospels) is not es-
sential and could be removed without de-
siroying the historical or psychological
unity of the narrative. We may end by
thus formulating the hypothesis to which
we have been led.
BY Insight of Faith.
Though no miracles accompanied His
entry into or presence in or departure
from the world: though He did not think
or speak or act otherwise than as a
man; though he yields nothing to histori-
cal ANALYSIS but human elements. yet In
Jesus Christ God is incarnate-discovered
and worshiped as God alone can be, by
the insight of faith.
Mr.. Thompson is man OF great Schoi-
arship, and his pronouncements have
aroused fierce controversy, not only IN
Oh ,ord--which. indeed. Is comparatively
quiet. because so many of the leadlne
men have gone down for the vacation
but throughout the Church of England.

NO JOINT DEBATES.

The people have been told soberly
that Prof. Aswell can not draw his
opponents into joint debate.
It would seem that Michel, who is
no orator, but splendid silent cam
paigner, has determined to not be
the Punchinello for Aswell, and Hall
has about resolved to conduct his
speech-making to suit his campaign
ing.
The conclusion to not join in de-
bate at this time with Aswell is wise,
but later in the season Hall and
some of his friends, many of whom
are forcefuf speakers, may challenge
Aswell to open debate on important
questions, one of which may be the
Marks bill, besides others which af-
feet the people directly and of which
little has been or is being said at this
time.
50ratory, like music, is a fine art,
an acquisition Of great advantage,
but forceful speech if not ora
tory, when re-enforced with argu-
ment on issues of vital concern to
the people, it is then that it has its
telling effest.
The people will remember the
oratorical campaign of Governor
Sanders against Hon. Theodore Will
kinson, his opponent. Sanders could
talk for hours and impress his hear
ers with his apparent sincerity,
while Wilkinson, with earnestness
would tell the people what could be
expected of him if he were the Gov
ernor of Louisiana.
The record of Governor Sanders is
written and historical. 1t is filled
with promises broken and disap-
pointments. Tt is the reverse OF
what Wilkinson's administration
would have been if he were the gov
ernor.
The great body of the people who
think will not be misled by oratori-
cal flights. What the people want is
change in the system of the man.

They want less oratory and more OF

brief, the voters will weigh carefully

ernor the candidate who will give
