RECTOR DEPLORES BITTERNESS FELT IN CONTROVERSY
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Declaring that the action of Bishop Moore, of Dallas, in calling off the trial of Rev. Lee W. Heaton, of Fort Worth, Texas, for heresy, was "all that reasonably could have been expected," Dr. Leighton Parks, rector of St. Bartholomew's, today cautioned Modernists that this was not a moment to assert the Fundamentalists had been defeated but time to "recognize our own serious responsibility."
Dr. Parks, who several weeks ago doffed the vestments of priesthood in the pulpit of the fashionable Park Avenue Church and said he himself would welcome a trial, deplored the action of certain Modernists, in speaking in a tone which cannot fail to add to the bitterness of the present controversy.
Present questions, he said, must be settled, not by controversy, but by exposition.
