To Fight Higher Criticism.
Ottawa, Ont Aug. 87. A lively de
bate between the conservatives
radicals of the Church of England In
Canada will likely be precipitated at
tho session of the General Synod to
be held here next month. For some
time there has been much opposition
among the more orthodox church
men to some of the advanced teach
ings of clergymen and college pro
fessors. In order that -the matter
may be threshed out by the 8yno.
the Kev. Dr. Langtry has Introduced
a motion attacking the higher criti
cism. Tho higher critics" and'rhod
ernlsts". within the church will likely
oppose the adoption of such a motion,
and a verbal warfare may result.

The feature of the Sherwood thea
ter which opens tonight for the rest
of the week Is the "Delppe circuit."
In this thrilling picture we see soma
of the perils of the great French mo
tor race, and get a good view at alose
range of all the principal and danger
ous points along the cuunw. T..
ture shows us two distinct races going
over the same course, one la the com
petition of light runabouts, and the
other for heavy racers. The first pic
ture shows the men getting ready for
the struggle, and starting away amidst
the cheers of the excited throng. In
each race we see cars from the same
points and get a clear view of the
oad from an elevation, and see them
dashing along at a terrific rate of
speed. We get a view' at close range
of one of the machines as It dashes
around a Curve and turns turtle, roll
ing over many times, killing the driver
and injuring the assistant. The next
Icturn shows n point on the course
whero there are two curves within a
short distance of one another, and the
spectators are held spellbound as the
cars reach this point and round them
at a terrific speed. A few go amiss,
however, and wo see them turn com
pletely around and topplo over. An
other point of Interest is at a very
sharp curve, slmila- to the hairpin
curve on the.Vander'iiit course, which
is Inclosed by a high fence to keep the
spectators back. The cars dash n round
It at full speed and a number make It
without mishap, but vo see a fow who
lose control of their' cars, skid around
and dash through the fence, upsetting,
and causing no end of excitement. The
hist picture snows tho finish and w
get a view nt close range of the win
ners nnd their cars, and see their hr p-
py faces as they receive tho beautiful
ind well deserved trophies
