TRUCE" IN Church
ROW MAINLY KEPT
But Controversy Over Virgin
Birth Expected to Rage
After Christmas.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 24.-Indica-
tions were today that after the
Christmas truce" in the Protestant
Episcopal Church the controversy be-
tween modernists and conservatives
would rage with renewed vigor.
Bishop William T. Manning's re-
quest for the truce" was generally
observed yesterday, but reference to
the controversy was made in copies.
circulated yesterday. of the sermon
delivered by Rev. DR.. Leighton Parks
at ST. Batholomews a week ago yes
terday and by Rev. DR.. Norman
Guthrie, pastor of st. Mark's-in the
Bouwerie. in discussing the Bible. 1t
has been the Sunday custom at st.
Bartholomew's to distribute pamph-
lets of the preceding weeks sermon.
The pamphlets distributed yesterday
were of an edited version of the lee
ture" in which DR.. Parks invited
trial for heresy.
Views on Virgin Birth.
The doctrine of the virgin birth. the
pamphlet said, was clamped upon
the church" during the middle ages
on the basis Of the doctrine OF orig
inal sin. 1T was the conviction
among those who did the ''clamping."
it added, that virginity was a higher
state than marriage, and hence the
story that Christ's mother was a
virgin.
testantism will be shaken" the
pamphlet declared. IF the bishops of
tions of theology with ancient tradi-
tions" There was mo convincing
evidence" 1t read, that the bishops
speak with the authority OF schalor-
Parishioners ~of st. Marks-in-the-
Bouwerie expect to hear next Sunday
from DR.. Guthrie a declaration of his
creed and an exposition of his position
in his tilt with Bishop Manning over
pagan dancing by parish girls in an
cient Greek costumes at church fes-
tivals. After announcing his plans
for next Sunday. he said yesterday:
mo book is the word of God. Jesus
Christ is the only word Of God. No
book can be inspired
Hits Christmas Truce.
The appeal for the Christmas
truce" was used by Rev. Charles
Francis Potter. pastor of the West
of a renewed attack upon conserv-
atism.
The Rev. Mr.. Potter. who won the
first of his series of debates last
Thursday against Rev. John Roach
Straton,. pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church. asserted this was not the time
for truce. but for proclaiming aloud
the declarations Of the modernists.
What is the use," he asked, "of cry
ing Peace! Peace! Peace! when there
is no peace?"
Multitudes are crying for the
truth, and to deny them now would
be treacherous," he continued. No
wonder the blind priests of the old
order wanted the new prophets to
keep quiet. But they might as we'll
try to dam the Mississippi river with
waste paper"

AGAINST RICH ALIKE
ALIKE WITH POOR.

A few days ago one Of the big
Chicago distillenes-one of the
last TO see that prohibition has
come TO stay announced that it was
going out Of business and would
distribute its assets pro rata among
It's stockholders. In order to do so
permits mad to be obtained from
the Prohibition Commissioners Of
fee. This list of permits read
like a page from the Social Regis
ter. In fact, it seemed to contain
only the names Of old families and
those who lived on the Gold
Coast" 1t was startling to dis
cover how many Of the city's blue
bloods owned distillery stock
Immediately Judge WiNerson
of the U. S. District Court, be-
came suspicious as to when they
obtained that stock apd how. 1t
looked to him as if a clever way
had been devised for the rich man
to make extensive purchase of con-
traband hootch and he minced no
words in ordering the grand jury
to sift the matter to the bottom,
sparing no one.
4 have been amazed by the ar
ray of petty offenders of the prohi-
bition law who are brought into
the courts" said the Judge. 4
want to know why the prohibition
law is stifed. | want to know why
the real offenders are not brought
into court. / want to know what
are the powers that finance the
huge deals which have become pub
lie and why only drivers and petty
peddlers are ,cited Tor prosecution.
THE most dangerous tendency
in the Nation today is the tendency
of men of wealth and means, men
of reputation and supposed stand
ing, to violate and evade the prohi-
bition law
Judge Wilkerson's charge has a
clear ring. If the prohibition law
is to be successfully enforced it
must be enforced against the rich
as well as the poor. There is no
reason why a mans money or So
cial position should buy him i'm

COMING BACK TO
OLD HOME TOWN.

Twenty years ago Forest Butner
found himself swamped with debts
in his home town, Lexington, KY,
"Some day I'll come back and pay
you in full with interest,"" he told
his IA creditors.
The years slipped by. In the
memories of the IA, Butner be-
came vague phantom, seldom in
truding their attention.
The other night the IA were in
Yited to attend a banquet as
guests of a mysterious stranger.
The mysterious stranger, of
course, was Butner-now a veal.
thy Oregon fruit grower. To each
OF of his old creditors he handed
an envelope containing a check in
full for the old debts with COM
pound interest to date.
Il am supremacy happy for the
first time in years." Butner is
quoted as saying when he took the
train back west.
Any of us would be, returning
in triumph to the old homo town
under similar circumstances.
At this time Of year, your men,
DRY turns back to the community
in which you spent your youth.
Yu yearn to return.
If you go, you come back rath-
er disappointed and disillusioned.
You found the pump closer to the
house, and all other distances
similarly shortened, compared with
the picture you carried in memory.
Probably, as the train neared the
old home town thrill went
through you. You jumped off,
looked eagerly for familiar faces.
Alas, the faces were strange,
except that the star pupil Of your
school days might be found driving
a hack or loading milk cans and
trunks and barrels and crates on
the trains.
Maybe you've had this expert
ence. Most of US have Maybe,
too, you found only few old-time
friends when you combed the town
and even they had to be prompted
before they could place you. De-
spite all this, each spring brings a
desire to 90 back to the old associa-
tions of boyhood.
And life has few satisfactions
greater than to return honorably
and in triumph, like the Oregon
fruit grower.
T This universal interest in the
