Bishop Manning
Hurls Direct Challenge
To Reverend Grant

r. Manning of the Protestant Fps
copal church delivered before 1000
national officials of the church. lay
men and English Wears, banqueting
with the church club at the Waldorf
Astoria, tonight, an address which
was interpreted as a direct challenge
to Rev. DR.. Percy Stickney Grant to
utter publicly and in unmistakable
language. the doubts of the deity of
Christ he recently implied in his pull
pit at the Church of the Ascension.
Let me say with all possible plain
ness" the bishop declared. that if
any member of this church-bishop
priest or deacon. should deny the
deity of our Lord. Jesus Christ and
express it in clear. courageous I'M
ambiguous terms. no one need have
any fear that the church Will shrink
from meeting this issue. or that she
will fail to take definite action. and
the whole body of the clergy and
people of this church will approve
such action.
But the point to be kept clearly
in mind is that the church cannot
take formal action against denial of
her faith unless the denial is eX
pressed in words that are clear and
unevasive and are acknowledged by
their author"

suggested that these flags which fol
years have been kept in a cabinet on

took from their former enemies" the
Governor stated in his communica-
ton.

Civil War will approve the return of
these flags. for no doubt the South
crn states cherish the flags Of their
regiments just as VIC cherish the
wonderful collection of flags that we
have in the rotunda OF our Capitol
