DR INKSTER EXPLAINS
STATEMENTS MISCONSTRUED PRESBYTERIANS AND MODERNISM (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 17. The ci'iticism of the remarks credited to him in New Zealand had caused him considerable pain, said Dr J. G. Inkster. formerly of Knox Presbyterian Church, Toronto, who was in Auckland to-day on his return from Australia to Canada. Dr Inkster asserted that he had never said that Karl Marx was replacing the Bible in New. Zealand, and that Victoria University College was half full of Communists. He merely quoted the opinion expressed by a lecturer in the university that half the students were tinted with Communistic ideas, and that he gave some credence to that. Dr Inkster said his remark concerning modernism was: “ In Canada many of our young ministers are touched with modernism.”
