Novelist Branded' a "Foel" and
Meney-Seeker at Pas
tors' Meeting '
"SHOULD STICK TO FICTION"
emphatic disagreement with the
views of Sir Arthur Cenan Deyle re
garding the spiritual "second coming"
of Christ was expressed by clergymen
nttendlng the regular weekly meeting of
Baptist ministers today nt the First
Church, Seventeenth und Sanseui
streets.
Many agreed that he novelist Is qual
ified for writing of fiction and should
plnce his spiritual views in that cate
gory. Severn! of the, ministers questioned
the real motives of Mr. Deylc'jt visit
iw nun country.
Asked what he thought of the novel
ist's stntcnrhnt concerning the second
spiritual coming of Christ, the Itcv.
ur. T. M. Eastwood, of Burlington
Baptist Church, said:
"Cenan Deyle Is n feel nnd is In the
snmn rlnsn with Margaret Asquith. The
only difference is that she hns her geld
nnd hns gene back with lt."
The Itev. A. F. Ballbach. of the Fex
Chase Baptist Church, said :
"Kven in the Old Testument Ged
condemned spiritualism. He command
ed that people who agitated spiritual
ism be stoned te death. Christ was
resurrected, but the people of whom
Deyle speaks never were'
"Christ himself said he didn't knew
when he would return," said the Itev.
8. Arthur Debar, of Lansdowne church,
"se hew could Mr. Deylo knew any
thing about it."
The Itev. .Jeseph A. Bennett, pas
tor of Gcthseinnne Church, Eighteenth
street nnd Columbia iivcnue. Mild:
"I think Cenan Deyle is line in fic
tion, but when he tnlks about the sec
ond coming of Christ his mind is still
working in fiction."
That Deyle nnd Sir Oliver Ledge may
he right or wrong in their spiritistic
belief, was the only comment today of
Dr. Walter Sonneberg. of Mt. Airy.
Dr. Sonneberg. a nhilnvenher and hcien-
tlst, speke nt the weekly meeting of
esuyterian ministers in the Wither-
snoen llnll. lie snld lie thinks thev
both sincerely believed in their own doc
trines, but declined further discussion
en the ground that "there Is tee much
fraud cenncted with psychic matters
en the whole."
