the facts but is deyided on the ques-

1t is felt that in view of the wide
publicity given the case, DIR. Grant
will be called before the commission
to make a further and clearer state
ment as to his views. If he can bring
himself to say that he denies no doc
trinal points, but merely differs on the
traslation and in depreciation of
some passages of hoIy scripture, the
commission, one clergyman explained,
could then make report confirming
the action Of the NorthumberIan a
Presbytery which acquitted DIR. Grant.
In a statement DIR. Grant admits hav-
ing said some of the remarkable things
attributed, to him by witnesses at his
trial, but he declares that In every
case the context of his remarks would
have taken the edge off them and '.re-
moved every trace Of heresy."

Ages before the white man made
his appearance in the western
world the Zuni and Hopi Indians
wove blankets. belts. ceremonial
robes and other articles of use and
adornment, using the fibers Of the
cotton plant. which they cultivated
to a considerable extent, those OF
the cottonwood tree, the fur Of rab-
bits and other animals. and the
feathers OF birds. as textile mate
rails. From the Zuni and Hopi
communities the nomadic Navaios
acquired looms and learned the art
OF weaving, but did not improve It
in the least, or even practice it to
any great extent until the introduc-
ton OF sheep and goats by tho
Spaniards provided an abundance
OF superior textile materials.
OF all varieties OF Navajo blan-
kets the Serape Navajo is the mos,
