London, Dec., 17.
The Bishop of Birmingham, (Dr. Barnes), who was denounced re- cently in St. Paul's Cathedral, when he entered, the pulpit, has publisheded a book entitled "Should Such a Faith Offend?"
Answering his critics, he dis- sociates himself. from the mo- dernists of the Left typified by the Roman Catholies whom Pius K. crushed, whose idea of divine: imminences was virtually pan- theisin.
"I need," says Dr. Barnes, “a God who is our father, who rules the world and loves the world. with a father's love."
the Dr. Barnes, sets: aside synoptic gospel accounts of the incarnation, preferring the open- ing of the gospel of St. John, Apropos the eucharist he says. "As a result of consecration no spiritual presence is attached to, or inheres in, the elements. The root principle of idolatory is belief in a Deity localiséd in material objects through the in-] vocation of a priest.".
