BAPTIST Clergyman Attacks Newton
Seminary and Chicago University.

Seminary and Chicago University.
SuuthinSton, Conn, Oct. 5.-The adj
jolunmcnt of the anniversary meeting of
the New Haven Baptist association was
preceded by IL lively debate occasioned by
sensational attack on the Newton Theo-
logical seminary, near Boston, and the
University Of Chicago.
y resolution was presented asking that
all of the churches in the association be
asked to take collection for the New
ton Theological seminary. 1t was an
nOunced that John ID. Rockefeller had
promised to give the institution S15O,0O0
if a similar amount could be raised in
other quarters. The Rev. T. A. i. Han
na of Sheldon opposed the resolution in
vigorous language. He said:
This seminary and also the Baptist
university at Chicago are beds of heresy.
Their instructors lead the pupils from
the solid foundation of the old theology
to the shifting quicksand of the new so
called scientific religion.
Young men," he continued, Ego to
these institutions with a true, unwaver-
ing faith in the Almighty. Before long,
however, they are shaken by the doubts
of their tutors, who turn on the Bible the
searChlight of science, and, while not abb
solutely rejecting portions of it as un-
trua, they 50 hedge certain passages with
doubts and scientific data that their
teachings lose tncfr weight, and their pu-
pills become atheists at heart if they do
nor show their agnosticsm outwardly"
The speaker went on to say that the
| teachings of some of the doctors of divin-
| ity in the Baptist scninarics had become
so outwardiy agnostic that it had been
necessary to relieve them Of their posi-
| tions.
THE wedding, however," he said, sis
not yet completed, and the scminal'ies
| still hold men who endanger the future Of
the Christian cause"
Mr.. Humans remarks aroused u hoatcd
controversy. Rev. Raymond Maplcsou
Of A!iadotown admitted that much that
had been said was true hut added that
many Of the objectionable men had been
| diyrsted Of thcir power to do harm. 9th.

was ended when l.cv. w. q. Thomas Of

stances of Mr.. Rice's death and led up TO
the arrests. Not only were signatures to
these checks declared to be forgeries,
but the same was said of signatures to
assignments alleged to have been made
by Mr.. Rice to Mr.. Patrick.
With the stigma of forgery placed on
the checks and documents assigning
Rce's wealth the police have again
turned to the mysterious circumstances
surrounding his sudden death. The sus-
picions which caused the body of Mr..
Rice to be removed to the morgue, where
the autopsy was performed, have not
been verified so far. This end Of the
case rests now with Professor Witthaus,
who took specimens of the body that he
might submit them to chemical analy
sis. The chemist has not yet made his
report.

mcnts without careful consideration. Two

sent him word that hc was prepared to
sign and asked To have the witnesses sent
up again They reported later that Mr..
Rice had signed the assignments, and
Patrick SAYS that Mr.. Rice sent thcm to
him soon after. MIR. Patrick continued:
The check Which SWcnson n Sons did

of the death Of Mr.. Rice through my III
