SPREAD OF RELIGIOUS DOUBT.

sunday school Teachers.
CHICAGO. Dec. s.-President ". H.
Harper, of the University OF Chicago, aft
er making an investigation Of the causes
of widespread religious doubt and fndifTer-
ence Of the present time, comes to the
conclusion that ignorant and irresponsi-
bic Sunday school teachers are most TO
blame. In an editorial in the December
number of the Biblical World" of wien
he is the editor, President Harper says:
Speaking generally, much religious
doubt and Indifference may be traced to
the instruction in the Bible received in
Sunday school. Many man has passed
through q paralyzing struggle with doubt
which might have been avoided had there
been no misleading teaching as TO the
Bible given him when q child. This is
due to the ignorance and narrow minded
ness OF the many Sunday school teachers,
who should be taught 10 handle their Bible
as theological students are taught IN any
reputable seminary.
Goodness, spirituality. and prayerful-
ness can never of themselves make suita-
bic Sunday school workers. Teachers
must be trained to regard their Bibles
from a historical point of view. and must
be interpreters
