A dispatch to the Tribune from Milwaukee, Wl. eays: That many of the clergy would be tempted to lay down the ministry and find tome freer atmosphere In which to serve Christ If the decision of the ' diocese of western New York which expelled Dr. Crapsey on heresy charges were made the decision of the entire Episcopal church, was the startling declaration of Rev. William A. Smith of St Paul's Church yesterday. He declared that the Episcopal church had not yet learned to believe In the truth, but It was afraid when ever a question of doubt or Investi gation waa raised. The truth or falsity of the virgin birth of Christ, he continued, was a matter of historical criticism and heresy trials could not make any con tribution to the truth. YARD MEN STRIKE.
