by the Rev. Charles +. Ailed, d. D.,
q. clergyman of international rcputc,
he probably will resign as presi-
dent Of the San Francisco Church
federation. according to ANNOUNCE
ment today by Dr. AlSed himself.
San Francisco, Feb. 5.-When the
Rev. Charles F. Aked. a clergyman of
International renown, formerly pastor

.er's church takes the chair February
13. next. as president of the Church
Federation of San Francisco and ex-
officio chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the federation. he will be
called to rule on communication
from the Presbyterian Ministers asso-
citation OF the San Francisco Bay cities
asking for his resignation as presldent
because of alleged unorthodoX utter
ances from the pulpit of the First
Congregational church last Sunday
DIR. Aked said he did not adhere and
would not support the doctrine of the
miraculous conception and birth or
Christ. My conclusion upon this ques-
ton" he announced. "s that the faith
of Mark and John and James and Paul
is good enough for me-. 1t Is good
enough for any Christian. These men
say nothing about Jesus having come
into the world in a miraculous way. l
prefer to stand with them. What de
we mean by saving, He was divine?'
1T ia a question of quantity and not of
quality. There is divinity in US. but
30 much more in Him that / prefer
to call Rim divine. Perhaps 1t would
be better to speak of the divineness OF
man and the divinity of Christ"
Basis of Complaint.
After reading this quotation given
out by DR.. Aked himself the Presby-
terian association sent to the federation
q letter reading in part as follows:
while freely according to all the
z right to fullest liberty to worship God
according to the dictates of their COM
sciences, believe that the statements of
his belief as given in the daily press
by the Rev. c. F. Aked. ID. D.,
thoroughly disqualify him to act as
official representative of the evangeli-
cal churches of San Francisco.
Therefore, be it, resolved, that the
executive committee of the church fed
GRAFTON be requested to suggest to DIR.
Aked the wisdom and justice of his
retirement from the presidency of the
church federation, and, in the event
this is not secured, ti.at as protest
against such leadership, the Presby-
terian churches of the city be advised
to withdraw from connection with the
federation
The letter was signed c. S. Tanner
