VIRGIN MATERNITY
Bishop, However, Makes No
Direct Reference to Mod

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, December 26-The
Christmas truce in the Protestant
Episcopal Church is ended. The
wrangle over the nativity of the Christ
Child-suspended at Bishop Manning s
request, in order that chickering's over
the literal Interpretation of the story
of Bethlehem might not mar the cele-
bration of Christ's birthdays ex-
pected to break out again this week
end with renewed intensity.
Bishop Manning himself may touch
off the next explosion. 1t was reported
today that he was preparing an answer
to the Rev. DIR. Leighton Parks of ST.
Bartholomew whose defense of the
modernistic disbelief in the Bibleg egstory
of the Virgin birth of Christ has
stirred religious New York to it's foun-
dation. Careful study, it is said, has
convinced Bishop Manning that DR..
Parks did not render himself liable to
heresy trial by his utterances. DIR.
Parks, il was pointed out. while he de-
Tended the right of c.ergymen TO their
own opinions on the subject, himself
did not specifically disavow belief in

Bishop States Position.
That the bishop would act dras-
tically against any Clergyman. of his
diocese who dared make formal de-
NAL of the truth of the story which
most of the modernists are question
ing was the assertion of his friends.
The bishop set forth the fundamental
lss position clearly enough in his
Christmas sermon at the Cathedral of
St John the Divine.
Our hearts today follow the hum
bic shepherds to the stable at Bethle-
hem. where. in the manger. the
blessed Virgin Mother had laid her
Holy Child" he said in the course of
his sermon.

yersy which has threatened disrup-
tion OF the Episcopal Church here and
throughout the country.
Supported by Rector.
Meanwhile. n measure of support
came to him from an unexpected quar-
ter--from DR.. William Norman Guth-
rie. rector of st. Marks in the Bouw-
erie, a modern of the modernists DR.
Guthrie. who recently incurred Bishop
Manning's displeasure by permitting
bare-legged" dances in the parish
mouse, deplored the entire contro-
yersy.
In all the world of literature. so
far as l know" he said, there never
was story told with such exquisite
reserve and poetic daintiness, such
divine, idyllic genius. as the gospel
of the Nativity. Who can bear to
think of such a story being taken as
material by theological
entomologists?
Need Not BE Historical.
Referring to the story as myth. -
he continued: Because the story is
called myth does not mean il is
not true. 1t means, on the contrary.
it is so true it does not need to be his
torical. It's so true that its factu-
ality becomes of no Importance. The
soul of men has had experiences
which gives it faith in the stories.
These stories are truer than the ac-
tual experience of history. IL it really
happened, why then so much the bet

$1,000 Settlement
Northwestern Settles With Survivor of
October 10, 1922 Tragedy in Which
Two Companions Were Killed.

Settlement of $1,000 was made this
morning by the Chicago and North
western Railway company with Clyde
O'Neill, who was injured in rail
way crossing accident October 10, 1922,
at which time his two companions were
killed. In addition to this sum, the
company paid all costs incident to the
injury including doctors fees, hospital
and other expenses. The settlement
made was considered satisfac-
tory one
The accident occurred when the
Dodge sedan in which O'Neill, Julius
Gastaldi and Michael Morrone were
riding was struck by the 6:12 p. m.
north-bound train on October 10, at the
Park street crossing. The gates were
out of repair due to the fact that they
had been broken by motorist a day
or two before and the necessary ma
terial to mend them had not been i'm
mediately available. A fagman had
been stationed at the crossing, but had
been apparently unobserved by the
three men in the sedan.
While O'Neill was injured, Gastaldi
and Morrone were killed outright, and
negotiations have been underway for
settlement of the claims of their re-
spective families. The settlement with
O'Neill, however, is the first arising
out of the accident to be made.

Says Minimum Wage
Has Aided Women


Madison, Wis.-Operation of the Wis
consin minimum wage law has not re
suited in the displacement of women
in industry by man, as its opponents
claim, Attorney General Herman L.
Ekern advises in a brief filed today in
the United States supreme court by
the state of Wisconsin defending the
minimum wage law against an attack
being directed against it. The brief
sets out that the demand for women
workers in spite of the guaranteed
wage established by the state. has in
creased relatively faster during the
past four years than the demand for
men. cit may further be stated" the
brief declares, shat the minimum wage
has not resulted in a replacement of
minor employees by adults. In Wis
consin the number engaged in child la
Dor has increased during operation of
the law" The brief sets out Wiscon-
sins experience under the minimum
wage statute, dealing alone with facts
and not touching upon the legal phase
involved.
