some BIBLE STORIES.

Charles W Pearson, professor
Of English literature in the North
western university. Chicago
Methodist institution, has startled
his church by. saying:
Biblical taller Of miracles are
but legends, errors or all-gories.
lnsIstence on THEN literal truth
explains the present dtpiorable
condition of the churches.
"lf theolosians wish to regain
their lost intellectual leadership"
declared Professor Pearson, "or
even to possess an influence upon
the thoughtful part Of the com.
munity coordinate with that of
poets, philosophers and men of
science. they must throw aside the
doctrine Of the iufnllible Bible"
An instances of biblical state
ments that cannot be- acce pied as
literal truth the professor cited the
feeding of ELIJAH by the ravens;
dividing the waters with his man
tie; the miracle of meal and oil
multiplied; Elijsh's power over
elements; his going through the
Jordan dry shod; his making iron
to float; his making the widows
pot of oil to fill many yessels. and
his raising the dead.
Commenting on the miracles,
Professor Pearson said:
Some OF these stories are crude
and childish, some pathetic and
sublime, but all alike are legen-
Diary and not history.
Those churches which continue
to teach that such legends, errors
or sllegories are literal truth faint
all the rest OF their message. 1t
is the cowardly refusal of these
churches to admit patent facts and
to advance with the advancement
OF knowledge that has brought
about their present deplorable con
dition aud the low moral scale of
the nation
Professor Pearson says that the
biblical stories of Christ's bring
ing the dead to life, of his walking
on the water and Of feeding the
multitude with the loaves aud
fishes are mere poetic fnncies. in
credible and untrue.
Some of Professor Pearson's
critics seem 10 think tina, il he
cannot believe that Joshua com
,nanded the sun to stand still. etc.
he ought TO leave the church.

WE asked Commissioner Hooker
why the board disailowed little
bill charged by The JOURNAL.
He did not know it WAS disallowed
and insisted 1t WAS not. The
chairman of the board ought to
pay more attention to what, Jesse,
the man who runs his board, is
doing.
