EPISCOPALIAN CONTROVERSY FINDS ECHO IN UNIVERSITY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The spectacular controversy in the Episcopalian Church has found its echo in the University. A meeting of students wishing to take part in the struggle has been called at the Phillips Brooks House tomorrow at 6 o'clock, to discuss and ascertain undergraduate opinion on the matter under discussion, which was brought to its height when Dr. Leighton Parks, Rector of St. Bartholomew's in New York, denounced last Sunday the virgin birth of Christ.

Reverend Heaton's disbelief in the doctrine of the virgin birth is shared by so many powerful and influential clergymen that this controversy promises to cause a serious split in the church unless the conservative element retreats.
