The Life Of Il Scholar

At the seminary he was much be
loved, because he was so patient with
students, and yet so forcefui. His lect
ures were never evaded. He would help
the seminarians over the rough place
and show the utmost consideration for
them in their intellectual dificulties
Outside of the teaching hours he was
much alone. His life has been that oe
the scholar. and it was great surprise
to many when he was elected to the
episcopacy.
His own intellectual difficulties aru
not of recent origin. despite tho state.
ments of critics that they have been
brought on by illness. In his letter Of
resignation he speaks of his reinvesti

AS long ago as last Advent he de-

decided to resign my diocese"
He sums up his reasons for with

L. Creeds.
.. Sacraments.
g. Orders.
Under the heading of "Creeds" he
says: Attacks on creeds in general

use of the word sacrament" as ap-
piled to the orders, as not one Of

obscure the sacramental character Of
the formula, Receive the Holy
Ghost for the Office of priest Cor
bishop in the Church of God" In
the best of company l have taken
this as representing the true teach
ing of the Anglican communion
about orders, though it involved ex-
planning away dubiousness elsewhere
in formularies and in practice.
During the last three years, how
ever, I have been reinvestigatin the
question of orders, being largely in
f1uenced to do so by arguments that
Anglican orders "have no special
New-York tribune., 1919-08-03

theory attached" This contention
though lacking support from many
whose judgment is of special weight,
has that of many great names, of
the preponderance of lay opinion
and of important precedents. In COM
pairing the arguments for esse and
bene esse (the theory that the
Church in ordination confers a sacra-
ment, though many clergy do not
know it, as contrasted with the other
that the Church confers no sacra-
ment, though some Of the clergy
think SOY l have been forced to ad-
NIT that the defenders of the latter
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 argument for this, bu.
| give up the orders.
Consideration of this matter had
created such grave doubts in my
mind last December that l had to
refuse requests from the bishops Of
New York and Pennsylvania to hold
ordinations for them during Advent,
at which time also finally decided
to resign my diocese. Only during the
last month, however, have I been
able to see what must Re the fur
ther consequences for myself.
To my mind orders to which mo
special theory is attached" arc
orders to which no special impor-
tance is attached. Orders of this
description do have the theory At
tached that no special theory is nee
essary, which excludes the sacra-
mental view To the orders of the
Catholic Church the theory is al
ways attached, or, rather, in them
the principle is inherent, that orders
is sacrament, perpetuating the
apostolate instituted by Our Lord.
If the "no special theory" be the
more correct one Anglican orders are
proved dubious, if not invalid,
through defect of intention. If so,
for one cannot perpetuate them, nor
can I hold them
as the creed worth defending?"
"Are the sacraments divine mys-
teries?" "Is Holy Orders a sacra-
ment?" I believe the only answer
the Church should make TO all of
these questions to be a prompt and
emphatic Yes" yet I have come to
feel that our communion by its non
committal attitude virtually answers
'No." Hence, have no choice but to
resign my place and to declare my
withdrawal from the ministry; the
bishops have no choice but to accept
the resignation and proceed to my
deposition, since resignation for
these reasons involves remuneration
at least of the discipline and orders
of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

the action will cause pain to many

To the Right Rev. Daniel Sylvester
Tuttle, DID,, Dc, L., LID, Pre-
siding Bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Church.
My Dear Presiding Bishop:
| hereby present through you to
the House Of Bishops the resignation
of my jurisdiction as Bishop of the
Diocese of Delaware.
| take this step with utmost regret,
both as relinquishing a post assigned
my by the Church to which | owe
the greatest blessings of my life, and
as severing my connection with the
State of Delaware and its warm
hearted people, for whom, during
eleven years, l have come to have an
ver-deepening affection. The only
post l could wish for myself is that
of Bishop of Delaware l resign it
because | can no longer hold any
post of authority in the Protestant
Episcopal Church. Fuller experience
which has come to me as Bishop and
more thorough study of the history
OF our communion have forced me
to abandon the Interpretation Of the
Church's position which held at the
time of my conservation; and I can
adopt no other which would warrant
my continuance in office.
Tho uiou, Of tho Ch,roL,.
which l have held, certainly the pre-
vailing view in the House of Bishops,
is simply that the Episcopal Church,
strong in it's appeal to antiquity"
stands firmly for the doctrine of the
Incarnation as contained in the
Scriptures and the creeds, and, by
emphasis on its sacramental charac-
ter, perpetuates the life of the Catho-
lie Church. But have ceased to be-
lieve-and here I part company with
the bishops and contradict my con-
victions and teaching in past years
that the actual facts bear out this
contention.
In spite of the greatest unwill-
ingness, have come to feel that the
Interpretation of the Anglican posi-
tion which connects it chiefly with
the Protestant Reformation is the
one more consistent with its history
viewed as a whole; and that its domi-
nant tendencies are increasingly
identified with those currents of
thought and development which are
making away from the deiniteness of
the ancient faith toward Unitarian
vagueness. This would seem to me
to be due not merely to local or tenn
porary conditions, but to certain in
forming principles always more or
less apparent in Anglican history To
preserve balance and proportion of
the truth, the Episcopal churches
have aimed at comprehension by COM
promise. I have come to believe that
this habit of compromise involves
increasing surrenders of truth in
spite of religious revivals aiming at
stronger insistence on the ancient
faith.
The chief causes of difficulty for
me have been three:
% Tolerance of denials of faith
seeming to indicate failure to de-
fend the Church's doctrine.
GU Tolerance OF imperfect
views of sacraments, seeming to
result in failure rightly to use
them.
go A theory of orders which
seems to nullify them.
1-Cveeds. 1t is unquestionable
that the Anglican communion is off,
cially committed to the doctrines of
the Scriptures and the creeds.
Authoritative declarations have al
ways asserted this, and would do so
now. But custom seems to nullify

Bishop Kinsman resigned because he
felt the Episcopal Church was too

the supernatural: that it failed to
defend actively the essentials of the

Until the general convention of the

n.ets in Detroit in October, Bishop
Kinsman can do nothing, for by the
r,les Of the church he is still the Bish-
Op and will remain so, despite his re-
nunciation. until formal action has
been taken. At the general conven-
