Not otterina

Hartford, CT, Jan. % (AF)-Luther
Burbank is not a good judge of the
value of religion, in the opinion of the
Right Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster.
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Connecticut. In comment
ing on Luther Burbanks confession
that he is an infidel. the bishop re-
ferred to that portion of Mr.. Bur-
banks statement that religion was
tottering everywhere"
Bishop Brewster said:
with all due respect to Mr.. Bur-
bank, he is not good judge. He
lacks the condition of fairly judging
the value of reliion. Spiritual things
are to be appreciated through spirit
ual experience; not otherwise. They
are things 'eye'hath not seen nor ear
heard, but God prepares for them that
loveth him. Spiritual experience
alone can discern spiritual values.
'Mr. Burbank comedies there is a
universal power. This source of all
we know in the universe may be
more, but certainly it cannot be less,
than personal, with the attributes of
what are called personality.
Religion is not lettering. 1t elicits
a wider interest than evere before.
There are many scientists who are
earnestly religious"
