 CLEVELAND, Jan. IA. Joseph Sharts of Dayton, counsel of Bishop Brown who was recently convicted of heresy, and Brown took the stand at the Bishops hearing yesterday. Brown argued: We maintain this Catholic church protestant only in some as poets, while oatholicity provides cat chechisms and creed it reIegates them to their proper places as symbols of the doctrine"
 When he referred to the resurrec- tion of flesh, Bishop Brewster of Con- necticut said, 'creeds referred to the resurrection of the body" and when Sharts asked if body wasn't the same as flesh, Brewster replied the church stood on the words of St. Paul:
 Though worms destroy this mortal body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. /" Sharts attacked the character of Constantine, under whom the Nicene Creed was adopted, and declared that lit is treason of the human soul to say that in this age and under such waste mankind reached it's ultimate concep- tiOn of the diety.'
