Percey Stickney Grant, attracted considerable at tention Monday. Preaching Sun day in the Church of Ascenscion Presbyterian Episcopal on Fifth avenue, of which he is rector, the Rev. Mr. Grant said: “Very few siergymen today have been educated in the large Universities accept the idea that Jesus had the power of God. He doubtless did miracles as they were regarded in his day, but as M. Coue points out. many of these were acta of auto-sugges tion, and would fall under well known categories clearly and w$ll classified by physicologists today. Science understands them. They are not miracles.”. Consecration of churches is an idea inherited from witch craft, and magic. Dr. Grant declared. The apOBolotic suspicion is no longer accepted by the educated class, he said, and it is through that so-called succession, he said, that priests are supposed to be gifted with miraculous powers.
