Newport News, Va., Feb. 27.--Tak- Ing notice of the religious eontro- versy between fundamentalists and modernists, the report of the com- mittee on foreign missiops of the Presbyterian World Alliance, pre- sented to the alliance to-day, exam- ines the problem from the missionary standpoint to determine how far co- operative movements among interde- nominational missions "can be sal- vaged from the wreck." The report, submitted by the Rev. Dr. R. P. Mackay of Toronto, secre- tary of the Board of Foreign Mis- sions of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, referred to the "war of the churches that was being staged in the press these days," declaring that the "atmosphere is charged with relig- ious controversy." It continued: "Fundamentalists and Modernists at home and abroad have drawn swords, and it is a war to the death. 'No compromise' the battle ery; and { it is heard in practically every land where Christianity is taught and | Christian work being done.

Its doctrinal basis em- | braces all the doctrines included in | the Apostles Creed and more, and | many are prepared to sacrifice co- | operation and fellowship with any | and all who cannot subscribe to their | doctrinal statements. Others, how- | ever, repudiate the thought of sep- | aration, claiming it to be the mis- | slon to purge the church from within {and not to abandon her to the un- | circume¢ized and unclean. | '"Modernists, on the other hand, | are equally pronounced, and perhaps | equally Intolerant. | the theological fleld, such as the his- {it may be sald They stand for liberty of thought as in three - Sylvia Field and Franklyn Fox in a scene that makes the spectator gasp, in "The Cat and the Canary" at the Grand, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 29th, and March 1st. much in such matters as education and the stamping out of the '"'dope menace." \ "On the other hand," continued the report, "it is easy to give In- stances in which doctrinal differences make co-operation impossible, such, for example, as theological education in the large and truer gense There is a vast era of academic teaching in tory of doctrine, forms of worship, | with regard to ecclesiastical obliga-| church history and organization, that | tions.

From the missionary standpoint our problem is to ascertain _whether cleavage is necessary or avoidable, and to deterpine how far, in either case, co-operative movements, de- veloped so largely in recent years and to so great advantages, can be sal- vaged from the wreck." The report then referred to two papers on this subject at the Oxford meeting of the International Alliance last summer, one by Dr. Robert E. Speer, of the Presbyterian Church in the United States and the other by Dr. E. J. Palmer, Bishop of Bombay. Summarizing these papers, the re- port quotes passages from the New Testament to show that that part of the Bible "inculcates the spirit of tolerance and brotherly love," and adds, still referring to the addresses of Dr, Speer and Bishop Palmer; "These and similar scriptures are not adduced to prove that men should not contend for what they believe to be essential truth, but rather that the cultivation of this spirit would remove asperities and make It pos- sible to appreciate each other's view- point, and help in finding the truth which Illes somewhere between the extremes." Despite doctrinal gifferences, mis- sionary co-operation among the de- nominations can accomplish, in the opinion of the ecclesiastics quoted, RE IG V1 9 dL i di] i it claims to | superior intelligence cannot always! which are a common possession and upon the ministry should be in- formed and might well be taught co- operatively. Yet in differences so great, e,g., as to the value of the sacraments--that might well make co-operation impossible, "Finally, as to the further ques- tion, wHether there is any doctrine 80 central as to preclude the possibil- ity of co-operation, the answer is that all Christian missionary effort is an attempt to present Christ as the final revelation of God. To co- operate with any who definitely deny that Jesus is God is to abandon the central reason for which Christian missions exist, 'The missionary should remember shat he himself is permitted labor in foreign fields through the toleration of people holding religious views es- sentially different from his own. He seeks by pérsiaston to lead men to recognize the supremacy of Jesus Christ. It is evident that the path to this end Js not the way of aliena- tion and judgment and expulsion, but the way of gentleness and love; the way of calm and reasonable state- ment of the grounds upen which we hold what appears to us to be the truth. We best help others, and best grow ourselves into fuller apprehen- sion of truth, by keeping wide and kindly the bounds of Christian fel- lowship, by preserving the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace and by doing together as much of the work of the Kingdom of Christ as is practicable." V7 | GANANQQUE Feb. 27.--Word was received here yesterday afternoon of the death of Charles E. Britton at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Bedford Jones, Perth. Mr. Britton was the last sur viving son of the late D. F. Brit- ton, ond of Gananoque's pioneer residents and prominently connected with its owth. Charles Britton was always a public spirited gentle- man, active in politics in the Liberal interests, and probably ome of the most widely-known gentlemen in this vicinity, Surviving him are hls two daughters, Mrs. Bedford Jones, Miss Muriel, Perth, and one son, Ralph, New Britain, Conn; and two sisters, Mrs. O. D. Cowan and Mrs. Colin Cowan, Gananoque, The many friends of Mr: and Mrs A. W. White are glad to know that there is strong likelihood of their] being in this vicinity shortly. Mr. White probably being! transferred from Niagara Falls to the manager- ship of the Bank of Commerce, Brockville. The Thousand Islands Railway Company have written letters to the various manufacturers in connection with the use employees have been making of their right-of-way as a pubMe thoroughfare. The letter deals with the danger several persons have been in lately of being seriously injured or killed, which was narrowly averted only by the extreme effort om the part of their engineers. In view of these dafly experiences being mot only nerve-racking to the engineers, bat in order to life and pro- perty the practice of using the rail- vicinity. Douglas dePencier is In town.

J. Howe, of 64 St. George street, London, Ont., believes that he can locate the treasure chest cone taining gold and silver plate which is supposed to have been buried near Opllin's Bay centuries ago by faithful French priests. Mr. Howe claims to have discovered a method two years ago whereby the hiding place of lost or buried treasure can successfully be found. That a chest containing much wealtlr was. hidden near Colin's Bay was revealed in a story told by a descendant of Capt. Michael Grass, who led a party of United Empire Loyalists from Quebec to Kingston about 1783. It is supposed to have been concealed in a selectéd plot of ground near the school house in tho village of Collin's Bay. Generations following the march of the United Empire Loyalists removed all traces of the hiding place and its location now, according to Information ob- tained and legend, is unknown. In a letter to Postmaster James Stewart, in which he asked for fur. ther information concerning the h'd- den treasure, Mr. Howe stated that he had located gold many times with a divining rod made of copper. By its use, he claimed, he had found some wonderful gold-bearing rock in Northern Ontario and had staked a claim there. This divin. ing rod method of discovering metal is but two years old, he states, but during that time it has proven its merits and he believes it . would again prove its usefulness in the case of the Collin's Bay treasure. Postmaster Stewart, who has no information regarding the matter, having only read the story of the buried treasure in the Whig a few 1 days ago, has referred Mr. Howe to the proper authorities in order that the matter might be taken up.
