OF Episcopal
Church Schisnl
Dwells in His Sermon on
Peril Which He Asserts
Rests in Assumption of.
Autocracy by Bishops
Defends Forum System
English Influence Assailed;
Declares Methods Being
Used Are Un-American

The Rev. DR.. Percy Stickney Grant
spoke grsvely of the danger of schism
in the Protestant Episcopal Church
Yesterday morning in his sermon at
the Church of the Ascension. The
threat came from several directions.
he said, but he dwclt most upon the
peril that he said lay in the assump-
Sion Of autocratic power by bishops.
The possibility Of the establishment 6f
community churches by disaffected rec
tors was suggested by Or. Grant.
1t was Bishop Charles Sumner Burch
who endeavored to represent somewhat
the exuberance of the public forums
held at the Church of the Ascension.
and Dr. Grant referred specifically to
the failure of church authorities to
recognize the value of these church
meetings as another danger signal.
ain America to- day" he said, "the
bishops Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church ar reaching for more author
ity. In The .Iddle West this takes the
form OF desire to dictate to the par
ishes who their rectors shall be and in
general to invade parish self-govern-
ment.
an other dioceses it takes the form
Of opposition to democratic methods of
procedure, and so to democratic ideas.
This tendency is so un-American that
it will ALLEVIATE the church from the
American people and have a tendency
to make it q church Of small, rich.
democracy-fearing class.
THE relation of the bishops Of the
American church 10 the bishops of the
English church has elements Of dan
ger. In the Lambeth conferences all
the Eng ish- speaking bishops meet and
consult on the general affairs of the
English speaking countries.
"The moment an American bishop
sets foot upon a British ship on
MS tour TO Lambeth Palace, he is
called by the officers of the ship INV
lord In England he is my lord
bishop and ls q witness of the domes-
tic, sos tal and political mpressiveness
oi the British episcopacy.
"He is very likely to return to Amer
ica with the words my lord agreeably
ringing IN his ears and is easily turned
IN his own country to alliance with the
powers that be and is tempted to form
an ecclesiastical machine by which he
may himself come to higher authority,
ii there is a split in the Episcopal
Church it will come in the direction of
greater ongregationalism. There are
lew grown persons who join the Epis-
copal Church to-day, and few of them
upon any intellectual persuasion. Con-
hrmatlon, as 1t is now understood, is
an outworn custom of little signifi-
cance.
Il fear that through the assertion of
episcopal authority, which so narrows
ana hampers the growth of the church l.,
the variety of its expression and the
energy OF its active ministry, the more

their parishes into community churches 8

Bedtime Stories
Introducing Seek-Seek
BY Thornton w. Burgess
There's nothing that 7 recoIlect
Annoying as names incorrect.

Striped Chipmunk wanted to know
who was Ground Squirrel if he was
not, and Old Mother Nature promptly
informed him.
Your cousin, Seek-Seek the Spermo-
phile," said she. "He lives chiefly on
the open plains of the West where
there are no rocks or stones. Often
he is called Gopher Squirrel and some
times just plain Gopher. He is named
cater, and he lives largcl on seeds.
especially on grain. Because of this
he does great deal Of damage and is
much disliked by farmers
"How big is Seek-Seek?" asked
Striped Chipmunk eagerly, for he was
greatly interested in this cousin he
had never seen.
"I'll come to that presently" re
piled Old Mother Nature. "But first
want you all to get it fixed in your
minds that the members of Seek-Seek's s
family are true Ground Squirrels.
Please remember that they never should
be called Gophers, for they are not
Gophers. There is a Gopher, a true
Gopher, and he is a different fellow
altogether. When people get names
wrong they certainly do make lot
of trouble In this world.
"Now, to answer your question,
Striped Chipmunk. There are several
members of Seck-Seeks family and
they vary in size. One Of the smallest
is just about your size, and in a way
looks something like you. He wears
stripes just rs you do, but has a lot
more Of them and some Of them are
broken up into little dots. He is called
the Thirteen-Lined Spermophile-a big
name for such little fellow. Like
you, he has pockets in his cheeks and
he digs home in the ground quite
similar to yours.
"All the members of the family do
this and all of them sleep through
the winter. While all are great seed
eaters they also eat great many bugs
and worms. Some Of them, am sorry
to say, arc guilty Of killing and eat
ing the young Of birds that nest on
the ground. Also young Mice.
CAS- told you, Seek-Seek's family
vary much in size. Some are almost
as big as Happy Jack, and, like. him.
wear gray eeats. Out on the plains of
the Middle Wcst is one commonly
called Gray Gopher or just Gopher.
But the biggest and the one which
looks most Ike Happy Jack lives in
the Far West and Is called the Cali

The city is no place for children in

with the explanation that as labor was

cost to the consumer necessarily had
to be advanced. Of course, it was
reasonable to reflect increased labor

CHECK ON TRICKY "c0PPERS"
e'mp'e Contrivance Prevents Fraud
on the Part Of Applicants for
Coveted Positions

In Philadelphia the position of traf-
nc policeman is open only to men
who are six feet or more in height.
Such positions are so much sought
after that many applicants who fall
short of the required height by only
a small fraction OF an inch are tempt
ed to cheat IA little bit by rising on
their heels.
An ingenious application Of cleo
tricity is now used TO circumvent this
trick, and any attempt to register 8
fraudulent measure is disclosed NJ
once. The applicant. as ne stands up
on the platform under the slide rule,
sets his feet upon two metal plates
that are normally trifie above the
platform. They are just large enough
to be covered by a mans heels. and
when the candidate stands with his
his heels on the floor the plates are
so depressed that they make con-
tact and form circuit that lights a
lamp overhead. AS long as the man
stands with both heels on the ground
the lamp stays lighted, but the mo
ment he raises either heel the smallest
part or an inch the contact is broken
and the lamp goes out. So does he.
