AE: | Letters to the Editor The Prospective Cleavage in Prot. estantism. Kingston, June 14.-- (To the Edit- er): Writing in the Christian Guardign Byron Stauffer in a mis- leading article entitled "Is the World Growing Better or Worse?" said "Is Optimism versus Pessimism to be the issue which will divide the forces of tthe -new-world ~~ Protestantisnr-into two camps? Is it essential 10 be- ! lieve that Christ will come to find an apostate church and denounce it in fierce judgment?" Those who suppose such issues too trivial to produce a cleavage among us should be reminded that the split in Christendom producing the Ro- man and Greek churches was caused by the conteiition by one party that the Holy Ghost emanated from the Father only, while the other side held that He issued from both the Father and the Son." The issue at stake is not so trivial | ag the Canadian would have us be- 'lieve. It is more than "a rift with- in the lute," it is a crack within the foundation wall growing ever wider {and deeper until the complete col- OAVRRORRRRRRA isnt RRL CORR OA "Gifts that Last" lapse of nominal Christianity is threatened. It is more than a toler- able difference of opinion in inciden- | tals. It is a nullification of the com- monly recognized charter of the | Church Evangealican.

There would be a bishop with the presbyters at the laying on of hands, and at the end of forty years, there would be no Wesleyan minister +t who would not have been ordained by a bishop of the Church of Eng- land. In order to get Wesleyan ministers episcopally ordained at once twelve presbyters would be con- | ~secrated-bishops. It was-certain;** added Bishop Ingram, "that other thurches would join them, and he believed the time would come when ! they would be in close connection, | not only, with the churches of Greece | and Russia, but with the church of | Rome." 5 i It is for this high-handed rebell- | lon against God and His revealed | | word--this open and undisguised | treason against the church evangi¢| cal, which has called forth not one | word of protest as far as we know, | from the 'high courts of the church | recently in session that thousands! upon thousands of true believers in | "our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ" | are being forced to take a positive | stand.

They proceed &s if noth- ing had happened. It is time this conspiracy of silence on the part of the pulpit ceased."--Rev. R. Rob- erts, in one of the pamphlets for the Million published by the Rationalis- | tic Press Association. An American university professor refers to the Lord as 'Mary's ille- gitimate Son" and added that his own son could grow to be such a man as Jesus of Nazareth but there Was no reason why he should set him on a pedestal and worship him. The writer has oocasion to stray into the theological department of the library of one of our great uni- versities and taking up a book much | | used by young men in training for the ministry read the following: "Criticism is ynable any longer to hold the Acts and Epistles or to a selection of them." A commentary on the Gospels had the following: "Thus for the whole birth and childhood story of Jesus in its every detail, it is possible to trace a pagan substratum." Another, written by the professor of Hebrew and Old Testament exe- gesis in that university, contained the folowing: '"'What we have in the Old Testament is not history but a free poetic treatment of certain meagre historic traditions. We can- not be sure these incidents actually occurred." He then referred to the institution of the Sabbath as pdgan originating in Babylon from whence also came the account of the flood and said that not until later days did the Israelites claim for their God the supreme position of creator. This is the real issue which is driving the forces of "thé new world Protestantism™ into two camps, the one seeking to approach God through an offering of good works from thé natural or unregenerate man seen, for instance, in "the 'heaped up beauty in modern pulpits where flowers are transformed into rythm the bloodness theology of Modernism or by the way of Cain. : ~The othér seeking to draw near to God condemned because of sin, be- as a ransom Or price paid to God for the redemption of the sinner, a propitiation to appease, not an angry God but a God whose justice must be vindicated in Jetting a guilty sinner go free, as a sacrifice for sin.

With Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Talcum Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Don't use prepared shampoos or anything else, that contains too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease- less) 'is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath- er rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oll | at most any drug store.
