The booze runners wore said by j

The reason for the probable use of j
Army tanks and machine guns is i
brought c.hout following the capture j
by a "train" of rum runners of two j

The olbcers are said to have been ear- |

NEW YORK. February 3.—Rishop i
William T. Manning of tiie I’rotestant i
Episcopal Church delivered before j
1.000 national officials of the church, j
laymen and English vicars, banquet- j
ing with the Church Club at the Wal- i
dorf-Astoria last night, an address!
which was interpreted as a direct j
challenge to Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney j
Grant to utter publicly, and in unmis- j
lakable language, the doubts of the J
deity of Christ he recently implied in j
in's pulpit at the Church of the A«cen
sion. j
Expresses Position.
"Let me say vvith all possible plain- i
ness." the bishop declared, "that if
cny member of this church bishop.
t"'.rst or deacon—should deny the I
deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and ox
imes* it in I ’.ey ■. courageous, unar.i- I
higuous terms, no one need have the )
slightest fear that the church will !
shrink from meeting this issue, or !
that she will fail to take definite a-- J
ti'>n. and the whole body of the clergy ,
ami people of tiiis church will ap- I
prove such action.
"Rut the point to lie kept clearly in I
mind is that the chprch cannot take j
formal action against denial of her
faith unless the denial is expressed in
words that are clear and unevasive j
and are acknowledged by their au
thor."
Bishops Present.
The address was heard by Rishop
William Brown of Virginia, president
of the Protestant Episcopal House of
Bishops: Bishop Thomas Gailor of
Tennessee, president of the National
Episcopal Council, and five other
bishops, as well as several vicars of
London parishes and hundreds of
church officials and laymen.
Neither Rev. Dr. Grant nor Rev.
Dr. Howard Murray Dumbeil of
Darien. Conn., who Monday.night de
clared both the New York rector and
Bishop Manning should be brought to
t ’ial for their utterances during the
existing controversy, was in the au
