Now a cluse in the

however, is determined by the minimum
rather than the maximum view toll
Grated, since it's official position must
be gagged not by the most it allows
but by the least it insists upon. E.
On the whole, the Church seems to be
swayed by the tendencies of the age op-
posed to the supernatural, owing to am
biguities inherent in its system always
subject to an intellectual law Of gravi-
tation.'
II is upon the subject of orders that
the Bishop dwells at greatest length.
This was to have been expected, since
i. is a subject 80 closely related to
That which he taught for so many
years at Berkeley and at General. He
says, after telling that his reinvesti-
cations have occupied three years, that
he was largely Influenced "by argu-
ments that Anglican orders had no spe-
cial theory attached This contention,
though lacking support from mary
whose judgment is Of special weight.
has that of many great names, of the
preponderance Of lay opinion and of
important precedents. In comparing
the arguments for esse and bene essc
fthe theory that the Church in ordina-
ton confers a sacrament, though many
Of the clergy do not know it, as con-
trasted with the other that the Church
confcrs no sacrament, though some Of
the clergy think so), have been forced
to admit that the defenders Of the lat
ter seem to make out the stronger case,
and that this must be taken as the
more probable opinion of holy orders
in the Anglican communion. I have
yielded TO the arguments for this, but
l give up the orders
ITO my mind, orders which have no
special theory attached are orders to
which no special significance is at
tached."

this theoretical position. Consuctudo
est optima legis interpres. Attacks
on creeds in general and on specific
doctrines are common; they are toll
Grated, sometimes encouraged, by
those in authority; they are made by
those officially appointed to teach
creeds and defend them.
For example, the Episcopal Church
accepts without question the doc
trine of the virgin birth of Our Lord
as recorded in ST. Luke's Gospel.
The clergy, bound by oath with all
faithful diligence to Danish and
drive away from the Church all erro-
