RELIGIOUS PROBLEMS
Rev. Howard MacQueary Makes
ali Address ON Them.
The Bible. He Said. Was Full Of Scientific En-
rors and GrOtesque Legends-Rabbi GOtt-
he'll Disputed Some of the Points.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch,
New YORK. April 15.-Rev. Howard
Maceueary, the suspended Episcopal cler
gyman Of Canton, spoke on ''The Religious
Problem" before the Nineteenth Century
club last night. II believe the day for
dogmatism has passed. he said. ssNow
we know that both the church and the Bible
are fallible. All that will be tolerated by
talllole men is an expression of opinion
even that is not tolerated in some quar-
ters." He said the Roman Catholic doc
trlne seemed more reasonable to him than
the Protestant doctrine because it claimed
absolute infcllibility for the church. He
could not accept that doctrine, though. The
authorship OF very large proportion of
the books Of the Old and New Tesla
ments, was unknown, and it was absurd
TO ask US to accept their authority. The
Bible was full OF scientific errors and gro
tesque legends, and Solomon and David
were not superior to Brigham Young.
Speaking especially Of his own case, Mr..
MacQueary said: 1--WE Simply take certain
vows at ordination; these VOWS do not bind
us to the mere letter of che creeds, but thew
distlncCly give Gus che right to interpret
these creeds by Scripture and Scripture
by ascertained facts and reason. Who
made these dogmasl Fallible men. The
spectacle of a Protestant church ex
communicating its members would be
amusing, II it were not pitiful. L claim I
have as much right in the Christian church
as anyone else, and that claim has not been
refuted."
Rabbi Gottheil spoke in comment on Mr..
MacQueary's remarks and disputed some
OF the points claimed by him, taking es-
peclal exception to some of the points about
Judaism and Buddhism. 1--WE have heard
a great deal about the cruelties and immor
Gottheil, "but think we clergymen owe
something to the Bible out of which wa
have preached so long. We hear a great
deal of the sins of the church when one of its
members has been driven out, but if had
been member of a church, a church in
which had taken my vows Of priesthood,
! might leave her fold, but my lips would
forever be sealed to saying one word

edged as my mother. A man can DESTROY
