The Hutchinson Dai1Z 4gSs (Rep.)
SAYS: When some of the present mem

ground of oblivion.
While there is Pop senate to put
check to much of the needed and very
desirable Legislation, that fact need not
deter the Republican members of the
present house from boldly doing their
duty. An energetic attempt along that
line would not only strengthen the cour-
age and the faculties of the would be
statesmen, but it would work wonder
full element of confidence in the minds
of the people who sent them to the legis-

brief suggestion. but it will not be appro-

OBJECT TO HIS OPINIONS.
Professor Woodwork Expelled from His
Church for Heresy.

Professor Woodwork Expelled from His
Church for Heresy.
BERKELEY, Cal, Feb. 25-The expuI-
SIGN of Prof. Charles Woodwork and
Student Maxwell, from the First Baptist
church for heresy, is creating much con-
tention in this university town.
The charges against Woodwork were
til he had stated in writing that the
bic contained many errors of history
and geology and that "the trinity is only
three of the many manifestations of
God" Woodwork maintained that Christ
was born of two human parents.
the professor had also said that
"tho death of Jesus, like the
Jewish sacrifices, only saves symbolical
ly;" and that "the fall of man was not
frcIn true holiness, but from childish in
nocence." The latter statement involved
the question of evolution, to which Wood
worth firmly adheres as good method
of reasoning, both for science and for
Christianity.
Some of the members of the church
arrayed against Prof. Woodwork say
they will take the matter before the
academic senate and the board of re-
gents of the university. arguing that if a
man is unfit because of his heresies to
teach Sunday school he is not proper
person to instruct the students at the uni
versity.
To this Prof Woodwork says that to
eliminate his teachings at the University
of California they must eliminate science
and put in orthodox clergymen of the
old school, who will teach as truths, ira
dltions and legends that are no more
valuable, except symbolically, than the
myths and legends of ancient Greece.
