HITS M0DERN|STS
Disobedience in Church to
Fundamental Beliefs Charged
at Baltimore Meeting.

epecial Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE, May Firm belief
in the virgin birth and bodily resur
rection Of Christ was demanded Of
candidates for the ministry in a
resolution passed this week by the
Methodist League for Faith and Life.
Open disobedience within the
Methodist Church to the constitution
and law of the church regarding the
standards of faith is charged in
another resolution Of complaint to the
board of bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal ChuNh. The resolution was
adopted at the annual meeting of the
league at the First Methodist Epis-
copal Church.
The league, which is fundamen-
talist group within the denomination,
asks in this resolution for an oppor-
funity to present its facts and com.
plaints at the Fall meeting Of the
board of bishops, and points out that,
IL this is denied, the organization will
be compelled to bring these facts to
the attention OF the general confer
ence Of 1928.
Calls Study Undermining.
The course of study given young
men entering the ministry Of the
denomination is said by the league to
be not only negative, DuI 10 ne u1ueI-
mining the historic basis for faith
both in the Virgin birth and the bodily
resurrection of Christ. The league
also contends that the course of
studies reduces Christ to an "errant
human being" It asserts the French
course of study openly repudiates
some Of the essentials of the faith OF
the church. and does so "purposely.
Publications of the church, includ-
ing the Sunday school literature, the
/. league says. are unsound in their
emphasis, and it was asserted that
confused conditions existed in some
Of the missionary training schools.
Resolution Is Quoted.
Continuing, the resolution says:
'It will be vain for you to call
Aipon the State to enforce the laws II
you do not yourselves set them an
example. If you appoint a committee
on courses of study to enforce the law
for a standard course, some Of whose
most influential members are aggres-
sive modernists. how can you appear
in a better light than the political
leaders who appoint men who have
been interested il the sale Of liquor to
enforce prohibition? If you, by
further inaction, encourage in the
! church defiance to law, how can you,
with self respect, reprove the officials
pf the state for similar conducts"

OYSTER SHELL LAW UPHELD
Test Case Brought BY Cambridge
Packers

The validity of the act, passed by
the last Legislature requiring oyster
packers to give the State one-tenth
of their shells were upheld by Judge
Algert S. ]. Owens in the City Court.
Judge Owens overruled the de-
murrer to the States answer to the
petition of l. l.. Leonard & Co., oys-
ter packers of Cambridge, for writ
of mandamus requiring Swepson
Earle, State Conservation Commits
sion, to grant them license without
their signing an agreement to give
the State one-tenth of their shells.
The Judge said that he would sign
an order dismissing the petition.
The case was brought to test the
constitutionality of the new act. 1t
was instituted after protest from
the Tri State Packers Association.
and it will be taken to the Maryland
Court of Appeals. No testimony
was heard in the case, which was ar
gued on questions of law. 1t was
commended for the packers that a
large proportion of the oysters
shucked by them came from waters
outside the State and that to return
the shells of such oysters would be
confiscation of private property.
For the State Conservation De-
partment it was argued that the pro-
vision for the return of one-tenth OF
the shells, or their equivalent IN
money, constituted merely an addl-
tional license fee.
The act, the judge said, providing
for the payment of license fee OF
S25 and the giving Of one tenth OF
the shells, was in the nature OF a
contract between the packers and the
State. There was reason for the
provision requiring the packers to
contribute ten per cent OF the oyster
shells for the rehabilitation OF the
depleted oyster beds of the State for
the people.
The law provides that the State
shall not give a packer license un-
less he gives up ten per cent or the
oyster shells. Referring to the con-
tention that a portion OF the shells
came from other states, Judge owens
said that at the time the oysters
shucked the shells were the property
of the packers and had lost their for
eign character.
"The provisions of the act are In
no sense unreasonable or unjust,
the Judge concluded, land II any
great injustice is done in the opera
zion of the law in any case the courts
stand ready to intervene.

Republican leaders during the last
