Nor need you believe in 1t to give happiness to iothers."
 Citing the ychologicalFworks of William James, he declared that mys- ticism is not a religious contact with God, but is an experience operating in the subconscious mind of the in dividual.
 Many of his audience believed that frequently Dr. Grant during his ser mon used mystic" as synonym for ''fundamentalist."
 Modern religion, he said, is more potent than that of Isaiah.
 You tie tin cans to the tails of cats and dogs, not to the tails of race horses" he declared. Modern re- ligion is a race horse.
 'Fundamentalists declare that Je- sus is returning soon to this world. If this is so, why bother with re- forms for the good of humanity?'
 He declared that fundamentalist faith is a stagnating force, making for quietism.
 we cannot reject the discoveries of modern science ill favor of the mystical inward ecstasies and dis coveries of writers who lived 5000 years ago." he said.
 Dr. Grant rebuked those who seek to standardize religion and shackle it's scope and method of expression.
 Religion is a matter of individual development rather than of develop ment by organization" he said.

VIRGIN BIRTH AGA|N'
 TOPIC IF SERMON.
pr. Grant Expresses Doubt That There Is Any Need
 For Such Belief
By HARLAN S. MILLER Geased Wire to The Age-Herald)

NEW YORK, Dec 23.-Without de- flying Bishop Manning's request for a holiday truce in the Episcopalian controversy, the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant outspokenly ques- tioned the need for belief by Chris tians in the doctrine of virgin birth, and assailed mystics in religion as victims of nervous and pathological disorders.
 Before he began his Sunday sermon at the somewhat exclusive gathering in his Church of the Ascension on Fifth avenue, pr. Grant read the bishops pastoral letter, requesting all Episcopal rectors, 250 of them, in the New York diocese, to forbear discussing the schism until after Christmas.
 Then he held aloft small printed circular, which he said he had found in the areaway of the parish house. It was an announcement 0y the Rev. William Duane, s. J., of the Church of St. Francis Xavier, a Catholic in- stitution, announcing an address on | the Catholice doctrine of the virgin birth.
 What say on this topic today must not be construed as a part of the recent controversy, or an infrac- l tion of the, bishops wishes" he de- l clared. Tt will simply be comment on the Rev. Duane's views" You do not have to believe in the virgin birth to celebrate Christmas,' ,' | Dr. Grant said in his sermon, which he entitled Mysticism in Religion"

 Search for Father Rupper had been started when one dog appeared at Iron Creek. Is miles from Hot Springs, soon after another arrived at the orphanage. Father Rupper who won the love of the north by the way he worked for others without thought of himself in an influenza epidemic that wasted the Eskimos and took many whites in this district several years ago, was buried We'd nesday at the orphanage,
 Carrying his Christmas cheer for 50 persons, including sisters and brothers of the orphanage, Father Rupper was continuing his jour ney from Duffy O'Connor's road house, which is on the route to Hot Springs from Nome.

Father Rupper seemed to have lain down to rest. He had taken off his parka or fur hood, fold ed it neatly and clasped it behind his body and one of his arms.

JOHN BANsONS TESTIMONY
BEFORE THE FEDERAL COURT

agreement between yourself and Mr..
Hitchcock, decline to speak with or
listen to anybody
A-No, sir.
Q.-Who desired-wait a minute
now-decline to listen or speak with
any body who desired to advise you
with respect to the existence Of any
grievance that was a subject of con-
troversy or cause of the strike there
Al did not; in fact l tried to talk
with everybody whether they were
members of my organization or not
that were out on strike, to try to show
them the error of their way.
Dwell, aside from trying to show
them the error of their way, did you
try to find out the causes that were
impeling them to the action they had
taken?
Al did as best | could.
Q.-And from what was said to you,
from all of these various sources
A.-Your Honor, they didn't seem
Q.-Wait a minute. Wait until you
get STRAIT signal before you begin
A-All right, pardon me.
> Q.-From all that was said to you,
from all these various sources what
conclusion did you arrive at as to the
cause of the walkout Of the Big Four
Brotherhood, in Needles?
Al arrived at this conclusion,
your Honor, that the strike was not
on account of any defective equip
ment thatdt was not on account of the
conduct of the guards, but it was for
the purpose of using these organiza-
tions to force "a settlement for the
shop crafts, and not on account of any
legitimate grievance.
Q.-What was said that caused you
to come to that conclusion?
A.-For the reason that our mem
bers and others failed to produce evil
dence to show that the equipment was
in defective condition, or that the
guards employed by the railroad had
in any way harmed our members, and
that there was but one instance that
they referred to that showed that
there had been any trouble between
an armed guard and one of the en-
ployes, and that was the trouble that
some engineer had with one OF the
armed guards; and further that the
grievances, SO far as our organization
was concerned, if they had any, had
never been handled in the proper
manner with the proper officers Of
the railway company
Q-I don't quite catch the rele-
vancy Of the last suggestion. Did you
mean from the fact that they hadn't
handled them in the proper manner
that that was a cause for your arriv-
ing at the conclusion that you did en-
tertain finally?
Aft they had any-or that they
didn't produce any grievances, your
Honor, to me, or any evidence to
show that they had been aggrieved, or
that the alleged effectiveness of equip
ment and the conduct of the armed
guards had been handled in the prop
er manner with the officers of the
company
The Court see. That is all.
The Winslow mail., 1923-02-02

On regard to the real cause of
their being out on strike?
Ale said that it was because of
the defective equipment and the con-
duct of the guards.
Q.-You said minute ago that he
said something that you hadn't men
toned.
A.-Well, 1 didn't want to include
or incorporate that statement, and I
felt that l shouldn't answer it in that
way when Mr.. Rush asked me that
question, that l shouldn't include that
part of it, and that is the reason 1
withdrew it.
Q-Is that the only reason he gave
you?
A.-Yes. sir.
On all of your service for the
B. of r. T. in connection with any
railroad operating under contract
similar to the one that exi1ts between
your organization and the Santa Fe,
did you ever hear of a man, who OBJ
jected in good faith to going out with
equipment because it was faulty and
dangerous. losing his job because of
that objection?
Aft it was found that it was in
defective condition and he did object,
usually he was commended by the
higher officer when it was brought to
his attention, and returned to the ser
vice.
Q.-I didn't ask you that. I asked
you if you heard of a man who in
good faith voiced an objection against
making use of equipment because it
was dangerous to him or others, and
refused to take it out on that ground,
and lost his job, that is, as conse-
quence thereof?
An all my experience, your
Honor, I never heard of any such
case
The Court. All right, that is all.
Mr.. Todd.-That is all.
