matter might be rushed through,

The Rent Commission continued,
meanwhile, to function in other cases
before it, with the expectation that
President Coolidge would sign the bill
before him and allow one more year
of operation. About 500 cases are al

with more constantly arising. Even
if no new cases come up, it has been
estimated that it would take many

BISHOP BROWNS TRIAL.

"A few days ago could not help
but be sorry for the reported at
titude and words of Bishop Brown
of Arkansas. 1t was said that he
boldly proclaimed himself an
atheist and that he tried to make
the general public believe that
number of the other bishops, at
heart, shared his radical ideas.
The writer was not sorry for a
bishop who was standing trial for
heresy but sorry for the great
number who would read the al
legged statements and either give
undue Importance to them or mis-
understand their meaning.
Without giving any special
study to the case of Rev. Mr..
Brown, | am inclined to think
that he has lost his mental grip
with his advancing years. He
does not seem to care for logic or
consistency in many of the state
ments attributed to him.
1t is true that there is much to
disappomt one in the Church if
one is asking for a high average
of efficiency or for a united front
in matters of belief. but, at it's
worst, the Church has in every
age supplied some worthy charac-
tiers, safeguarded civilization and
kept faith among men.
A man disappointed, dIbSillus-
Toned, embittered-may get to the
place where he "knows nothing,
believes nothing" but if so, he
has gained nothing of worth and
must begin all over again to- know
and believe, or he falls by the
wayside, to rise no more.
Bishop Brown has gained moth
ing for himself or humanity by
trmpeting his disbeliefs and dis
appointments to the careless null
titude, for while some of his crit
icisms may be just, he and his
kind are never constructive in
their ministry or helpful in their
conclusions. =.
The Church does not need
Brown neither does humanity-in
his present mental condition..
What is needed is liberal and
scientific minds that will work in
harmony with God, using the
foundations He has given us to
stand upon rather than attempt
ing to dynamite them. Being so
grateful for the marvellous life
and ministry of Jesus that we
never wish to bubble about how
He came to be Divine. Being so
glad of His revelation of the Fa-
therhood of God that we shall
never think of robbing ourselves
and others Of that joy by trying
to make of Jehovah an elusive in
fuence or mere figure of speech.
Let all lovers of mankind turn
to and help the Church in her sin
cere struggle to feed and fold the
flock.
So The Church does not seem to
progress in some decades as rap
idly as the world of mechanics on |
wealth, but her growth |
is sure and upward, and eternity |
will not fail to register the for
ward movement supported by the
sacrifcial lives of the faithful.
