Washington St., Chlcaga Dr. Grant Faces Heresy Trial Dr Percy Stick ney GvsLtdS _ /AfTb Knr- Plutip Vy^S One of the most sensational heresy trials ever held in America faces Kev. Percy Stirkney Grant, rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ascension, Fifth Avenue, New York city, as a result of his refusal to recant his statement that Christ could not be held the equal of God and “to accept the faith of the church as set forth in the Apostles’ Creed," as demanded by Bishop William T. Manning. Dr. Grant also refused the bishop's demand that he resign. Dr. Grant has long been in the public eye because of his radical tendencies and because of the open forums formerly held in his church, which were halted by the bishop because of the radical remarks made there. Dr. Grant is engaged to marry Mrs. Philip Lydig, well-known New York beauty, but that marriage has been forbidden because Mrs. Lydig has been divorced from W. E. D. Stokes, of “shooting showgirl” fame, and from Major Lydig, both of New York. Wall Street Is Blamed by Rector for Dispute While Dr. Grant Preaches, Army of Unemployed Marches in Front of Church. _ New York. Jan. 29,—(By A. P.)— ! Key. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, under fire for alleged heretical utterances, charged in his sermon at the Protes tant Episcopal Church of the Ascen sion Sunday that the fight against him was inspired by capitalistic interests working “under the surface," rather than by any true religious zeal to purge the church of apostates. While a delegation of placarded ho. boes recruited from Bowery lodging houses and park benches by Urban Ledoux, the "Mr. Zero” of others win tors of spectacular championing of the unemployed, marched up and down before the church, Dr. Grant preached another sermon In which he hinted neither at resigning for or re canting his expressed views concern ing the divinity of Jesus and certain dogmas of the Protestant Episcopal church. Attack Not Personal. Dr. Grant's sermon contained a passing remark concerning his en gagement to Mrs. Rita DeAcosta Ly dig, who was the wife of William E. D. Stokes and after divorcing him married Capt. Philip Lydig, from whom she was also divorced in France. The Episcopal church forbids the remarriage of a divorced person, even the Innocent one, where the grounds for divorce are not infidelity. For two years Dr. Grant has been engaged to Mrs. I.ydig but Bishop Manning has forbidden the marriage. Many persons have concluded that back of Dr. Grant's present fight with the church and his attack on its dogmas, lies this private feud of his with Bishop Manning over the question of his marrying Mrs. Lydig. Denies Personal Motive. The rector undertook to dispel this belief, in the course of his sermon, based on the text, “Beneath the Sur face," by saying, “There is another statement that was made: That my point of view or attitude is governed by a certain personal relationship. That is denied by the fact that I am saying just what I have said for near ly 40 years. Certainly I cannot be ac cused of saying special things today cn account of any relationship which, fortunately for the other person in volved, is not of 40 years standing.’’ Mrs. Bydig, beautiful and charm ingly attired, sat in a front pew throughout the sermon and heard these words, and hundreds of eyes were turned toward her, looking for some sign of recognition between the clergyman and the woman he loves hut cannot marry without violating laws of his church. But Dr. Grant did not look in her direction and Mrs. Bydig kept her gaze centered upon a prayer book in her hands. Gotham Rector Is Attacked by Omaha Pastors, Who Say He Is Preaching hut Another “Ism.” From many pulpits in Omaha yes terday. preachers denounced Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, New York rec tor who is charged with preaching heretical doctrine. “In deference to common honesty, if he has it, let Rev. Mr. Grant get out of the Episcopal pulpit,” exclaimed Rev. Arthur Atack of the Hanacom Park Methodist church, preaching in ■place of Rev. Victor West at Wal nut Hill Methodist church. “It is common dishonesty to try to hold on to his position and the emolu ments thereof when he is preaching that which the builders and. support ers of the Episcopal church do not be lieve. “Let Him Get Out.” “Let him get out and then he can preach Buddhism or anything else he wants to. His is but another of the many isms, asms and spasms that beat themselves to pieces against the rock of the church’s foundation. Rev. A. A. De Larme, pastor of the First Baptist church, denounced Rev. Mr. Grant as "a religious insurgent.” "They crop up into notoriety every little while," he said. “A few months ago one appeared in the Methodist church here in Omaha. Since then there have been others who have had their little hour of notoriety and then have been forgotten. The Unitarians are kept busy taking them in. "It is the duty of the church—the great Army of believers to stand like a stone wall against the eddies of un truth. They must be like the cliffs in the desert which stay the drift of the sands and provide places where ^ases develop. Church Goes On. "The church has been assailed in all ages, but its assailants are dead and forgotten. The church goes on." Rev. Ralph E. Bailey at the First Unitarian church of Omaha Sunday, speaking on "The Case of Dr. Grant, maintained that the views of Dr. Per cy S. Grant expressed in his sermon in the Church of the Ascension. New lork city, are not a repudiation of Christianity, do not destroy its high values and ideals, and are completely vindicated, justified and sustained by the acknowledged authoritative syn optic gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Rev. Mr. Bailey based his defense of Dr. Grant upon the first three gospels as the truest historical ac count of the founder of Christianity, and quoted the words of Jesus to show that he did not claim deity.
