Dr.. Guthrie, Noted Rector, Dies,
Once Center of Church Storm

The Rev. DR.. William Norman
Guthrie, rs, rector emeritus of New
York's historic st. Mark's-in-the-
Bouwerie Episcopal Church, died in
Doctors Hospital here yesterday
after an operation.
DR.. Guthrie, with Mrs. Guthrie
was visiting their daughter, Mrs
Robert Leet Patterson, 1707 Colum-
bia road NV, en- route to Winter
Park, Fla, when he was stricken
two weeks ago. Another daughter,
Mrs. Holman Harvey, lives at 270O
Rodman road NV.
Final prayers were read at his
bedside by the Right Rev. Angus
Dun, Bishop Of Washington.
Funeral services will be held at
the Washington Cathedral at 2:30
pm. Tuesday. Bishop Dun will
officiate. Burial will be In Alex
andria.
Twenty-four years ago the rector
was in the national spotlight for his
staging Of religious allegories with
gauze-clad dancers performing in
| front Of the altar of the old New
York church. gQ
AS head of st. Marks, DR.. Gu
thrie, self-termed church radical"
also presented poets, American In
dians, Hindus and actors to his con-
gregation, declaring, You can't
count on people coming together un-
less there is excitement and band" +"
"If church is doing ordinary
work there will be ordinary people
near It," he said. But If it's doing
unusual work 1t finds unusual peo-
pie"
His unorthodox services invoked
the wrath of his Protestant Episco-
pal Bishop, William T. Manning, and
resulted in a ong-standing dis
agreement between the two clergy
men. A court move, backed by the
bishop, to have him ousted, was de-
feated.
When he retired from st. Marks
in 1887 DR.. Guthrie told his congre-
cation in his concluding sermon:
I'm my 26 years here 1 have tried
to bring the greatest possible vari-
i ETY. and catholicity into worship, and
that could not be done by freezing
to the prayer book"
He characterized, the book as "a
masterpiece of obsolete devotion" !"
and said "the Episcopal church was
founded by gentlemen for gentlemen
and you can break every law of the
church If you know how"
A native of Dundee, Scotland, DR..
Guthrie received his early educa-
ton in Italy and Germany, but later
attended the University of the
South at Sewanee, Tenn, where he
received his A. M. degree in 1891.

Ways OF treating

about LOO replies and to my
establishment about 800 of these
people had pressure over 80.
High blood pressure, in my opin-
ion, is a natural adjustment to the
hardening Of the arteries. For
most people it carries no more
hazard than is involved in getting
to be 80 years old. \ very few
cases (about half Of one per cent?

three OF four letters asking me FOR
my secret cure for high blood pres
sure. These letters ne almost all
distinguished by three character
istics-tirst, they + all written
in a lathcr of hurry and the writer
wants something done about his
high blood pressure right away:
Second, each n seems to think
he is Il rare. or at least unusual,
case. that he is abused, a victim Of
bad luck. And third, they always
speak about curing the high
blood pressure.
All Of these are based on what
| believe TO be false assumptions.
To take the last one hrst-there
is no such thing as a cure for high
blood pressure. There are plenty
of measure by which your doctor
a reduce your high blood pres
sure temporarily. But generally
YOU feel worse when it is down and
il comes right back up again, and
anyway reducing the blood pres
sure is not .'curlng' the under
lying cause. | do not ven like to
speak Of the treatment of high
blood pressure. 1t isn't the blood
pressure that is to be treated it is
the person who has it. SO speak
of the management Of the patient
with high blood pressure.
With this idea in mind the other
assumption largely takes care of
itself. The management OF q per
son is not going to be the work of
a moment~>it isn't like giving a
hypodermic and then all is well.
Far from being rare, high blood
pressure is found in more people
