Dr. Grant expects to be tried for

Dr Biggs, who, aa a Presbyterian,
was tried for hereery. After the eerv

"I want these back. If there is to
be a trial then I shall need all my

There are members of the congre

The actual text

* false,," and William James, psy
chologist: "True Ideas aro
that we can assimilate, validate, cor
roborate and verify." Then contend
ing that "history is a record of pro
gressive ideas that progressively
supplant dead ones," Dr. Grant said
» that the method of growth ia a sup
planting of "getting rid of ideas that
aren't good for us and getting ideas

"A great deal of my mature life

The religion of greatest freedom
Joined to the religion of greatest
intelligence is going to get along
very well Indeed without knowledge,
greater study, greater success, in
solving the problems of this com
plicated human mind,
"We don't want to waste so much
time on things that are nonsense,
Think of the problems of Europe,
England and the United Ftates. The
brains of the world seem absolutely
paralyzed before these problems.
Why Is It? The soul-consciousness
of the world has got to get at these
things. There must be different
studies In the schools and colleges to
assist in the solution, and we must
get rid of all that attitude of the
mind that takes up too much room
in our rather small personality.
"After all has been said we must
remember that Jesus asked not of
His followers metaphysical exalta
tion or devotion, but He asked a very
simple thing. He asked them to love
Him.
T used that text from the lesson
prescribed to bo read today because
it seemed tc meet that particular
point very nicely. 'Behold I have
given Him for a witness to the peo
ple. a leader and commander to the
people.' You cannot be a witness
and a leader and comXnander of the
people If you have any complicated
problems. You remember how
Abraham Lincoln at Id we could not
have two governments here, one of
freedom and one of slavery. Jesus
was a commander and leader be
cause He said we have got to have
this wonderful good will with each
other.
"Now. after all. all such matters
are your affair. Do you want an
American church which believes in
freedom rather than In authority?
Then have it. Do you want
shacked clergy, so that when ons
gets up In a place like this and says,
so far as he knows, the truth, he is
not held by strings pulling this way
and that. If you want an un
shackled clergy, have It.
"Do you want to know all they
can find out for you. or do you want
them to conceal those facts? One of
the perquisites of being a minister
is that a minister has a good deal of
time and cause for reading,
got to read a great many books. He
must find out something. Do you
want your clergyman to pass on all
this or to keep it to himself. If these
facts do not chime with something
thought forty years ago?
"Do you want the church to be
ruled and silenced by sinister finan
cial powers. You know thie church
is empty and dark every Sunday
night. It used to be as full aa It is
today on Sunday nights with a very
happy and wonderful lot of people.
Do you want more churches shut
up. or do you want to keep the ele

Bishop Manning, whose text was "Be

"Some of the people who say thsy

they are going to lead a life of com

God or their fellow men. The church
Is the one Institution which keepers

[sense Includes loyalty to the church.
"We are living In a time of many

"One of the fundamental quail

$2.50 A WEEK NEEDED
TO FEED THE BRUTE'
b 4
CHICAGO. Jan. 22.—It costs but
$2.50 now to feed a man a week—
nothing fancy, but fairly substantial
food— according to Misa Florence
Nesblt, home economist for the
United Charities and chairman of
the Cost of Living Committee of
Illinois League of Women Voters.
"In September, 1920," «ay« Miss
Xesbtt ln her report, "the minimum
price at which one man could be
fed per week waa $4.10. In Jan
uary it decreased to $3. ln Novem
ber of that year It slid down to $2.80
and now it 1s $2.50.
"Rents have increased, however."
sighs Miss Nesblt, "so no real sav
ing" has been effected. The in -1
crease in rental more than takes up
the amount saved of foodstuffs." I
