BOMB AMONG METHoDlsTs.
Infalioil;ty of the Bible Is Denied by
Professor Pearson.

Chicago Jan. 2O.-4-rof. Chas. w.
Pearson of the chair of English litera-
lure in Northwestern University, which
is conducted under Methodist auspi-
ces, has thrown bomb into the ranks
OF Methodism in Evanston, by giving
out for publication statement of his
belief that biblical infalibility is
superstitious and hurtful tradition; the
biblical stories of Christs bringing the
dead to life, of His walking on the
water and feeding the multitude with
the loaves and fishes are mere poetic
fancies, incredible and untrue.
Prof. Pearson declares that the poll
cy< of the Methodist church is one of
inactivity. obstruction and jesuitical
silence on the views in which the
leaders and scholars of the church
have gradually become to believe. but
which are not held by the body of the.
church. He says that most of the
present teaching is evasive and that
most of the Sunday school teaching
is almost farcial and inadequate.

FARM INSTITUTES.

The season for holding the farm in
stitutiss is near at hand, and these
meetings will to a greater degree than
ever before become centers Of interest
to all formers who wish to be up to
date n their calling. There is no bet
ter tie Ktbook on agriculture than the in
dividiIal and practical experiences Of
the f.irmers themselves. The colleges
and experiment stations furnish many
theories and useful facts; still, this
work must of necessity be largely sug-
gestil-e, something which each man
must work out in his own way with
good or bad results as the case may be.
The testimony Of farmer at an insti-
tute giving details of his success in
any particular line is worth more to
the average man than the scientific
bulletins. For instance, one man In
community always makes a success of
clovet-gets a good stand, cures his clio

seed to sell to his neighbors. Such a
man should be given a whole half day
at auy institute where he can be found,
for lie knows what every man to whom
he talks ought to know and that which
is worth a lot of money to any man
who win listen 70 him. Another man
always has a clean cornfield and big
crop He should be put on the witness
