NEW YORK. March AT the
regular meeting of the Methodist
ministers of New York Yesterday
the proposition that "the inherency
and infallibility of the Bible are no
longer possible Of belief among
reasoning men," was advanced i'm
a paper read by the Rev. S. p.
Cadman, pastor of the Metropoli-
tan Temple, Mr.. Cadman pointed
out alleged discrepancies and as
sorted that the time had come when
people could find truth only at its
fountain head, Christ.
at the conclusion Of Mr..
Cadman's paper, the 400 ministers
present, including Bishop Edward
e.. Andrews, applaulad him and
entered into a forceful discussion
of the proposition. The paper
was one Of a series. the first Of
which was based on practically the
same ground and was road at lasl
weeks meeting.
BLOW TO THE BIBLE.
The utterancos contained in
these papers involve a radical de.
parture from tho tenets Of the
Methodist Church since its foun
dation and were accepted by the
most representative body of the
church in America. 1t places the
Bible on a plane with historical
works and rejects the authenticity
of all parts of the Scriptures that
are not in accord with modern
human reason.
Mr.. Cadman said the authorship
of the greater part Of the Old
Testament was unknown. The
New Testament, likewise contained
many contradictions. The Bible,
the church, the ministry, no said,
were agencies. The true source of
inspiration was neither a beck, nor
a church, nor a ministry, but the
living Christ himself.
BIBLE STORIES DIsCREDITED.
BY the new construction the
truth Of such Bible stories as Jonah
and the whale, the fate Of LOIS
wife, Elijah's ascension, the ago of
Methuselah, Daniel in The lions
den and God speaking to Moses
out Of the burning bush are
questioned, thus undermining the
fundamental pillar Of Methodist
theology.
