esREVELATION OF JESUS. :"
a Book Written by Prof G. a. Gill
bert Causes a Stir Among Con-
gregational Ministers.

Chicago, Dec. S.-A special meeting
of the board OF directors of the Chicago
theological seminary last night criticised
OF George Holly Gilbert OF Iowa,
professor of New Testament literature
and Interpretation, because of the doc
trines revealed in his book The Rev
Life of Christ The meeting lasted
from a m. until II p. m, the Con-
gFegatiOna1 ministers of Chicago and
many cities of the west debated the
case
No formal charges We're preferred
against Prof. Gilbert. His recent books
has caused much talk and much crit
iciSm in church circles and the publica-
lions of Congregational church. His
books, especially his latest book, THE
Revelation of Jesus" caused a notable
stir. 1t is said that the book argues
that the entire inspired teachings of
the Bible were contained in the words
of Christ. Prof. Gilbert's critics say
it negatively diScredits the works of
apostles and teaches that the Saviour
did not teach that He was of inspired
origin.
The discussions of these ideas spread
over the entire church in the west and
the view held by some theological stu
dents who studied under Prof. Gilbert
took on a deeper shade, it is said, even
than his writings and teachings gave.
The examination papers of some stu
dents showed such a reflection of the
teachings of Prof. Gilbert that they
were submitted in the consideration of
the questions before the directors at to-
days inquiry.
Prof. Gilbert refused to discuss the
matter the questions involved. A prOmi-
nent member of the board of directors
said that, even should the board finally
take action and sever the connection of
Prof. Gilbert with the seminary, there
would not be a trial in the church.
The following directors were present:
