HALEIGH RECTOR UTTACKS ELIDT Denounccs Assault on Chris¬ tian Religion and Calls on Church to Protest. BLAMES NEW CANON OPENING PULPITS Condition Which Permits Man of Such Evident Unbclicf as President Emcritus of Harv- ard to Speak from Chancel * Is Deplorable, Dr. Pitt- ingcr Deciares. [f-pcclal to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.] RADEIGH, N. CV, July "."..Durlng tho mornlng servlce in the Church of the Good Shcpherd toi day, the l'ev. I. McK. Plttlnger, D. D., rector of tha parlsb, commented on tho recent prophecy of a so-callcd "now religion" by Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emoritus of Harvard Univer¬ sity, declaring that the pronouncernent from so eminent a uourcc had astounded the Christian world nnd tliat lt calied for a vlgorous protest from all church people. Fnult of .Vcw Canon. Dr. Plttlnger regarded Dr. Eliot's statement as the worst attack on the Christian religion that has beon made ln a century. It was an especlal source of humlllatlon and sorrow to hlm, he said, that thls "heresy" should have been pronounccd under the ausplces of a theologlcal sehool of the Episcopal Church. The Christian religion would contlnue to grow and work out Its sav¬ ing influences ln the world in -splte of such attacks from "high places," hc declared. and there was one notable good that he slncerely hoped to see como from the lncident. By thls he meant the "deserved death" of the so- called canon nlneteen, whlch was par- tially enacted Into church law at the last general convention of the Episco¬ pal Church ln Rlchmond, and whlch lets down the bars so that any man A SickcDlna- Thlng. may be lnvited Into the chancel. Contlnuing, the speaker sald be dld not know how lt was that Dr. Eliot was taklng part in a service, the open¬ ing ceremony for whlch was conducted by the Blshop of MIchlgan. It was passing strange, he thought, that a man of such evident unbellef as the presldent emeritus of Karvard should have been calied on to speak in thls theologlcal sehool of the church. He hoped that the lncident would prove a death knell for tho proposed canon nlneteen, and that nothlng moro would be heard of lt. Tho Episcopal Church, Dr. Plttlnger said, would go on and Chrlstlanlty would move forward, but lt was "a slckenlng thlng" for such statements to be publlshed from such learned sources under such high church auspices. Under the clrcumstances one could but feel some ""concern for. the church. Deplore- Modern Hereslea, It was something of acolncldence, the rector remarked, that just at the tlme he read of Dr. Eliot's address, he was rereadlng Bishop Elllcott's lectures, "The Llfe of Our Saviour," and llttlo harm, he was sure, .could come from such attacks as Eliot's, as long as there were such crushlng- answers to them as are embodled In that wonder¬ ful book hy Ellicott. Dr. Plttlnger lamented the reported heretlcal teachings ln tnany of the uni¬ versities and colleges of tho country. No one expected much else from the University of Chlcago, ho sald, but that such charges could bo lald at the doors of "really roputable" lnstitutlons of learnlng was alarming. He re- joiced that none of the charges ap- plied to the North Carollna or Virginia schools of learnlng, and urged that these home lnstitutlons be patronlssed.

Even the customary Sunday afternoon rldo through tha parks was cahceled. Although he admltted irankly to several callers to-day that tho sltua¬ tlon was not all that could be deslred, the Presldent expressed the hopo that another twenty-four hours would suf- fice to stralghton ouc tho targle ln tha conforence, and that the report of tha conferees would bo presented ln tha House on Tuesday.

The Presldent' has heard can. slderablo talk of the strength of tha "Insurgents" tn the House and their threats to defeat such a rule. But lf the leaders consent to the plan it is belleved lt can easlly be carried through. The Prosldont's chlef conoern now la as to hldes.

Fnult of .Vcw Canon.Dr. Plttlnger regarded Dr. Eliot's

statement as the worst attack on theChristian religion that has beon madeln a century. It was an especlal sourceof humlllatlon and sorrow to hlm, hesaid, that thls "heresy" should havebeen pronounccd under the ausplces ofa theologlcal sehool of the EpiscopalChurch. The Christian religion wouldcontlnue to grow and work out Its sav¬

ing influences ln the world in -splteof such attacks from "high places,"hc declared. and there was one notablegood that he slncerely hoped to seecomo from the lncident. By thls hemeant the "deserved death" of the so-called canon nlneteen, whlch was par-tially enacted Into church law at thelast general convention of the Episco¬pal Church ln Rlchmond, and whlchlets down the bars so that any man

A SickcDlna- Thlng.may be lnvited Into the chancel.Contlnuing, the speaker sald be dld

not know how lt was that Dr. Eliotwas taklng part in a service, the open¬ing ceremony for whlch was conductedby the Blshop of MIchlgan.

It was passing strange, he thought,that a man of such evident unbellef as

the presldent emeritus of Karvardshould have been calied on to speakin thls theologlcal sehool of the church.He hoped that the lncident would provea death knell for tho proposed canonnlneteen, and that nothlng moro wouldbe heard of lt.Tho Episcopal Church, Dr. Plttlnger

said, would go on and Chrlstlanltywould move forward, but lt was "aslckenlng thlng" for such statementsto be publlshed from such learnedsources under such high churchauspices. Under the clrcumstances one

could but feel some ""concern for. thechurch.

Deplore- Modern Hereslea,It was something of acolncldence, the

rector remarked, that just at the tlmehe read of Dr. Eliot's address, he wasrereadlng Bishop Elllcott's lectures,"The Llfe of Our Saviour," and llttloharm, he was sure, .could come fromsuch attacks as Eliot's, as long asthere were such crushlng- answers tothem as are embodled In that wonder¬ful book hy Ellicott.Dr. Plttlnger lamented the reported

heretlcal teachings ln tnany of the uni¬versities and colleges of tho country.No one expected much else from theUniversity of Chlcago, ho sald, but thatsuch charges could bo lald at thedoors of "really roputable" lnstitutlonsof learnlng was alarming. He re-

joiced that none of the charges ap-plied to the North Carollna or Virginiaschools of learnlng, and urged that thesehome lnstitutlons be patronlssed.
