Clergyman
AGAIN APPEALS CASE

Tnvectives are hurled at Bishop Rhine
lander. of the Episcopal Diocese Of Penn
sylvania, In letter sent him today by
the Rev. George Chalmers Richmond,
deposed rector OF ST. Johns Church, in
forming the bishop that he appeals to the
Court of Review at WASHINGTON from the
decision OF the trers at his recent &C.
clesiastical trial.
"Herctic," "trlckster," "conspirator"
and spiritual degenerate" are the
terms used by the Rev. Mr.. Richmond,
who blames the departure of Bishop Suf-
fragan Garland for the West. never to
return" on the ecclesiastical racket"
He censures the Bishop because the do
cese is fast declining and our Episcopal
Hospital is closing It's doors"
your conduct is stencil and a dis
grace TO the church." his vitriolc pen
wrote ~ shall oppose your infamous
conduct. You are only n Bishop. and n
poor one, at that, and n dishonest one
as | shall prove in my forthcoming trial
| don't expect reversal OF the decision,
but want the Church of Review to take
peep behind the scenes"
The letter is reply to one from the
bishop informing the Rev. Mr.. Richmond
that sentence would be pronounced on
him January %.
Now / don't propose to allow you TO
do this at the present." the letter says.
You doubtless would he delighted TO ex-
ecute sentence II you could stop me from
preaching. But at present you lack the
essential power. This affair of mine is
going to teach our Church many lessons
In the days to come In the realms of wis
dom, democratic Justice and ordinary COM
mon sense. You will be n WISER though
sadder man. These various issues will
reveal your ecclesiastical incompetence
your weakness as n moral guide and your
heretical tendencies n bishop"
The deposed rector demands n personal
hearing, that he may make objection to
the sitting in the court of two members,
Bishop Whitehead. of Pittsburgh, and
George Wharton Pepper. of this city. He
contends that In the ecclesiastical trial he
was made martyr to Episcopal dig
nifty" although the triers knew his cause
was just.

great Chancellor) when l revealed your
moral cowardice your servility to fnan-

Bishop, but they had to defend the sacred
office of Bishop which you. sir. had deflled

 While the Wilson note is consider ed by most writers as a perfectly prop CT suggestion from a friendly source there is a great divergence of opinion as to Lansings interview. Some pa pers question the propriety of it at this time. Others urge that there is a state reason behind it and that it is inspired.
 Various interpretations are put on the text If there is any reason for the United States entering the war tat has not existed since the sinking of the Lusitania 1t has not become known publicly here yet.
 It is supposed that the suggestion that America may be drawn into the war Is nothing more than a general conclusion based on the assumption tI.et fighting carried on much longer Nil render the combatants so desper- ate that they will ignore American ghts to such an extent that she will te forced to fight ia self protection.
