NEW YORK, February 2.-Rev. DR.
Percy Stickney Grant rector of the

sy for his pulpit utterances. in which
he profcssed doubt as to the deity OF
Christ
Bishop William 7. Manning, who
had demanded that DR.. Grant either
recant or resign. says, in letter to
the rector, published today, that his
statements are too vague and am
biguous, and that a heresy court re-
quires clear mad convincing proof OF
disbelief Therefore, tho present

The bishop rebuked DR.. Grant not
only for his recent utterances, but
also for his advocacy of easy di-
vorce."
Extract From Bishops Letter.
Bishop Manning's letter began:
MY Dear DR.. Grant" and read, in
part:
THE real issue which you have
raised by your own utterances Is
whether you believe that Jesus Christ
is Lord and God, for if you do not SO
believe. 1t is plain that you cannot

express your real convictions. con-
tinue to hold your place as a minister
of a church whose whole life and
teaching is founded on this belief.
ut is this faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ, which you refrain from clear
ly expressing in your letter. You
rather confirm the impression that
you do not so believe, but you do not
say so plainly and definitely. The
terms in which you express your faith
in Christ are all of the terms which
may be used, and are in fact used, by
teachers who definitely deny his

letter which indicates any belief on
your part in Jesus Christ, the eternal
son OF God. The second person of the
holy trinity.
Case Summed Up.
You stand in this position: You
nave oy your own utterances, caused
grave doubt in the mind OF the
church at largo as to your belief in
the deity Of our Lord Jesus Christ.
You have been given opportunity to
remove this doubt, but YOU have NOT

clear your belief in this essential
truth. There, for the present, the mat
