CHURCH CONTROVERSY.
INCREASING IN INTENSITY. GREAT BITTERNESS SHOWN. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Dec. 21, 10.5 p.m. New York, Dec. 20. The episcopal controversy appears to be increasing in intensity and spreading to other denominations. A noted theologian, Dr. Dickinson Miller, a teacher at the local Anglican seminary, has resigned as a protest against the lack of liberalism in the church, while Bishop Manning, of New York, has issued a pastoral letter begging the disputants to refrain from discussion until after the Christmas season. The question of liberalism and fundamentalism has also arisen in the Presbyterian Church, while the Baptists and Unitarian ministers are filling their churches and overcrowding them while they debate such questions. The newspapers have made open forums of themselves for their readers, who are taking sides with great bitterness.
