‘OUR PRESENT DAY RELIGION IS BORE,' PASTORDECLARES Modernist - Fundamentalist Truce in Episcopal Church Is Broken. By Cnitrd h'etca NEW TORK. Dec. 31.—Without a formal signal, the truce In the Episcopal Church schism, Invoked for the holidays by Bishop Manning, ended Sunday, with several rectors tackling the modernist-fundamentalist differences in their sermons. "The trouble with much of our present day religion,” said Dr. William Norman Guthrie from the pulpit of St. Mark’s-in-the-Bouwerle. “Is that it is a bore!” "And nothing is worse than a bore: not even murder!” Each church, Guthrie argued, must adapt itself to tastes and needs of its congregation, and those who worship at St. Mark’s, he said, demand an artistic Interpretation of their religion and Bible. Fends Orthodox Charges Guthrie fended charges from the orthodox camp that the Liberals, as he termed the modernists, are insincere in regarding the doctrine of virgin birth as unessential to Christian faith. He asserted the fundamentalists themselves are guilty of “mental dishonesty” in contending that it is an indispenslble shibboleth. "The really honest churchmen are the liberals,” he declared. “I am concerned entirely with the future. The best way to be true to your parents is to be Independent. Be a man. not a monkey. I am in my own day, and I propose to do as I think best. Lack Social Religion “We lack an adequate social religion,” he continued, pleading for an all inclusive church that will appeal to the sense of all men. “You are a little sect, and a sect is a funny thing; it’s like an asylum." Dr. Joseph G. H. Barry, rector of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, led the fundamentalist broadsiders. Unless the bishops enforce a rigid discipline, he said, the Episcopal church would be confronted by a serious crisis. “Modernism is the result of ignorance,” he said, “but not all modernists are ignorant. Protestantism is going down hill doctrinally because of those who do not believe in Orthodox Protestantism. “There is not a thing in science which clashes with religion,” he said.

A Puzzle a Day

APE WHEN RAY PAY

A printer had an order for a large printed card: which was to contain four words. His assistant, however, celebrated New Year Eve a trifle too much, and when he set up the four words, hie result was “APE WHEN RAY PAY." The letters in those four words may be rearranged to form the correct wording; a four word greeting suitable to the season. Answer to previous puzzle: I KNEW that a GNU Was in the NEW zoo. The three missing words were KNEW, GNU and NEW, each being spelled differently, but having the same pronunciation.

DELEGATES HEAR WORLD NEED FOR MISSIONS IS OLD Workers Inspired by Same Conditions 37 Years Ago, Says Speaker, “The need for missionaries today is the same that inspired students thirtyseven years ago,” declared Dr. Robert E. Speer, senior secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, at the Cadle Tabernacle Sunday afternoon. He spoke before delegates to Student Volunteer Movement Convention. Other noted delegates spoke from many city pulpits. “Today,” said Speer, "there is a more unmistakable plan than the day when Jesus Christ came. We have the problems of our own land, complex relationships that are developing among nations. There is an absolute need for the whole world, east and west, north and south, and what Jesus Christ can do for men.” Dr. Y. Y. Tsu, Shanghai, China, explained how China might work out her political, economic, educational and spiritual salvation. “The greatest need of China today is better mon, more upright leaders, uncorruptible leaders,” asserted Dr. Tsu. He deplored the lax labor laws prevalent in China and made a plea for more humanity in China’s economic life. A public meeting was to be held
