DOCTOR ODELL'S SHARP THRUST
AT MINISTER'S BRINGS HOT REPLY
Episcopaan, Baptist, Methodist and
Catholic Clergy Resent Magazine Writer'S Charge
of Church Indifference to the World War
BY NI'LISS

triot who shouts his declarations from
the housotop as II he alone were loyal /;
neither Of them can be counted on To-
defend the right IN -hc hour Of need.
The work Of this righteous war is being
done by men whose actions prove their
loyalty aud their faith IN God and
truth"
Bishop Ferry dismissed the article in
few words. 1t is too SHY to warrant
serious comment" H. said
DOCTOR CONwELL'S VIEWS
IN answer 10 Doctor Odcli's assertion
that Cardinal Mcrcicr s. the only ex-
ample Of hcrolsm that the church can
furnish In the war, Doctor ConwCll said :
1T Is true Cardinal Mcrcier has dis
pt,yed the Erandcst neroism of the age,
hut after all he didn't do anything that
the bishops Of America would not have
done had this country been devastated
by 'hc German hordes
1T must he remembered. too, that
Cardinal MERCER represents the state
church Of Belgium There is no state
church here and there must never be,
one of IN. great principles of democracy
that must never be forgotten even in
times of war Is the separation OF the
church from III. State The church must

Just as the President can have no au-
thority over the ministry. The Ameri-

The Rev. Father Daniel McDer-

made the tcrae comment:
what I'd have to say about it nj
would be too much of a shock and 50
