DIR. HODGES, dean OF the Episcopal
Theological College in Cambridge,
Mass, delivered two addresses Sunday
in the audit orium of Houston Hall,
Philadelphia. In one of them he said
that Christ did not meet Satan in the
wilderness, and that there was no prod.
igal son. But, he said. tho story Of
the temptation, and the story of the
prodigsl contain the greatest truths
which have ever been told. He said
fiction may be more full Of truth than
facts, and that poetry aud pictures. pro-
ducts OF the imagination, may represent
more and deeper truths than mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstrations. All this may
be go, but such violent interpretations
are questionable, to say the least.
