IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
THE AKED CONTROVERSY. [Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.J (Received 12.5 p.m.) San Francisco, February 17. By seventy-four votes against nineteen, the San Francisco Church Federation refused to allow the Rev. Dr. ked to resign, and he agreed to continue in the pastorate. On February 5 a cablegram from Washington stated:— The Presbyterian Ministers' Association in San Francisco, is demanding the resignation of tho Rev. Dr. Aked, in consequence of the latter's statement in a sermon that he did BOt support the doctrine of the immaculate conception or birth of Christ. He said the faith of John, Paul, .Tarries, and Mark was good enough for him. and these men said nothing .-bout Jesus coming into the world in any miraculous way. The Presbyterian Association, declares that these beliefs disqualify Dr. Aked from holding office in the Church, and that his withdrawal is necessary if church discipline is to be maintained.
