DR.. GRANT NEITHER
RESIGNS lob NOR
RETRACTS SERMON
Episcopal Minister Briefs
His Case to Bishop
Manning,

By United Nstcs
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The Rev.
DR.. Percy Stickney Grant has laid be-
fore Bishop William T. Manning of
the New York Episcopal diocese a
brief in defense Of his recent utter
ances, which brought from the bishop
a demand to retract or resign, with
a heresy trial a possible alternative.
In a long letter delivered TO Bishop
Manning Thursday night, DR.. Grant
exhaustively supported his disbelief
in "the miraculous elements Of the
gospel" his conviction that the apos-
ties creed is wholly symbolic" and
his belief that Jesus Christ is the
portrait of the invisible God" rather
than possessed of the powers of God
Then, in conclusion he sounded the
keynote of his whole contention, which
has brought about a furore in reHg-
ious circles throughout the country,
when he said:
I would say with St. Paul that
the Lord Chat is. the Christ of ex-
perience) is the spirit Might 1 ven
ture to add the conclusion Of his
sentence? Where the spirit of the
Lord is there is liberty"
Not a word to indicate he had even
noticed his bishops suggestion that
he resign from the pulpit of the fash
ionabIe church Of the Ascension on
Fifth Ave. No apology for the utter
ances he had made. DR.. Grants let
ter was purely an explanations set
ting forth of his case as il were-in
regard to his beliefs, the dominant
element of which perhaps might be
summed up as an appeal to reason.
Taking up first the question Of
Biblical miracles he cited. the opinions
of learned cIergymen, writer's of the
gospel, and his own studies to support
him. a striking example Of his treat
ment Of this phase Of his utterances
was his treatment of the miracle of
Christ walked for perhaps half
mile upon the surface Of the water"
"AIl books Of the New Testament"
said Grant, tell US that He had
true human body, and lived a real hui
man life. That human body weighed,
let US say, $50 pounds. Am I helped
either in my own inner life or in my
preaching to others, by affirming that
such body, in utter defiance of the
law Of gravitation, walked upon water
as upon a solid fioor?"

farmer with sixty years of active
work to his credit, couldn't go to war.
But he was bubbling over with pa
triotism which couldn't be expressed
by raising hogs and corn.
So he shouldered a chisel in lieu Of
a musket, and discovering a large
sandstone rock on his farm, a mile

to carve out the features of two Of
the leading figures of the World War.

 Vetoes Are Over- Ridden
 The senate today by votes of 27 to 2 over-rode the governors vetoes of the two bills which he returned to the house last week.
 The house also over-rode the vetoes.
 The senators supporting the gover- nor were Els and French.
 Senator Macdonald. chairman of the committee on roads, bridges and rivers said both bills had been care fully considered. The senators who supported the governor claimed that it was in the interest of economy that the vetoes were sent in. The governor had said in his message that the roads covered, one from Hadlyme to Norwich and the other taking in Holland and Ellington into the trunk highway system were unnecessary and too expensive.
 Macdonald Tn Favor.
 Senator Macdonald, chairman of the roads committee, defended both bills, declaring that after thirty years devoted to road study he felt qualified to speak on the subject. He declared that "opening up the door" to the little towns was necessary in order to relieve congestion on the main arteries. He said one hundred and ten bills had been rejected by his committee and those favorably re- ported had been carefully considered He asserted that the state roads were the show windows" of the state and the development of them was of ,He greatest importance.
 Senator Els opposed the passage of the bills over the governors veto de- claring that Commissioner Bennett had told Governor Templeton that the -Hadlyme road ought not to pass because its cost estimated at al- 1 most half million dollars was too large for the benefit it would bring.
