TWO NEW RAILROADS ARE
TALKED OF IN BIRMINGHAM

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, January 2S.-Ac-
cording to a story which comes to Bir-
mingham from New York and which
seems to be we'll founded, bonds have
been sold and the proceeds placed in
banks in that city for the building of two
new railroads from Birmingham to the
Atlantic. One of these roads will be
built to Mobile and the other to Pensa-
cola, it is said. According to the report.
the United States Steel corporation is be-
hind the deal and this company will OPP
crate the roads either directly or Indirect
~. This corporation, the report goes,
has long since acquired control of the
Tennessee, Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany and, with the construction of the
new railroads, will develop the Alabama
properties of the company on an enormous
scale, with a view to entering the for
eign field in the most vigorous fashion.
1t is said that the combination of raw
material properties, plants for the manu-
facture of pig iron. steel and their fin
ished products and the double line of rail-
road from Birmingham to the two near
est ports, is the end to which the United
States Steel corporation has been aim
ing since its organization. The plans are
so immense that some doubt them, but
there are many who place reliance in
the reports. Et
Another report heard is that the United
States Steel corporation intends transfer
ring some of it's northern plants to the
Birmingham district.

CRITIC OF THE BIBLE
.FLAYED BY MINISTERS
PROFESSOR PEARSON FINDS FOES
AND FRIENDS OF HIS THEORY
OF MIRACLES.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-Professor Pearson
and his recent open attack on the miracles
of the Bible were discussed in many of
the Sunday sermons in Chicago. r1 a,ss.
The line was not drawn between denomi-
nations, preachers of many creeds, in a
score of churches, deeming the utterances
of the Northwestern University teacher
worthy of special thought.
To the congregation in the Isaiah temple
Rabbi StOlz said
1T is not di.a-ult to find in the Bible
inaccuracies, Il sserations, inconsisten-
cies, errors in~teXt and sentiments that
degrade the deity to the level of an ORR
entail despot."
Again he said: 1--WE are under obliga-
tions to Professor Pearson that he again
has called attention to this truth in spir-
it reverence and duty and not from a
sense of scorn and ridicule."
Bishop Fallos declared the miracle to be
not unnatural, but supernatural, and es-
pecially defended the records of the New
Testament.
Rev. Camden NJ. Coburn. preaching be-
fore the members of the st. James Metho-
dist Episcopal church, declared:
1T is true that not all the Bible is lit
eral history, and that a man or church
would indeed be foolish who would in
sist upon interpreting every part of the
Bible as literal history. Many of the re-
marks made recently" he said before con-
Guiding, do not sound like the utterances
of a Biblical critic, but of infidelity, pure
and simple"
In another part of the city DR.. Leach
was even more outspoken. Take away
one single prop from me, If you dare to
try It," he began, land in the name of
Jehovahs God, L will brand you Judas.
Disturbed by the utterances of Professor
Pearson? No! There never has been lack
of such, for the devil lives until he shall
have been cast into the pit by the con-
queror!'
The speaker continued to say he was
concerned for the weaker men and women
who might be influenced by the professors
utterances, and demanded that the trus-
tees of the university suspend the teacher.
Rev DR.. Johonnot, at the Unity church,
I'm Oak park, talked on the theme of The
Evil Results of the Belief in an Infallible
Bible" He said, in part:
1--WE have not lost any true faith when
we recognize the fallibility of the Bible,
but have made distinct gain. The Bible
is like gallery of paintings, in which are
gathered the good and the bad.'
Speaking before the Independent Relig-
ious society at the Grand opera house,
Mr.. Mangasarian pleaded for wider lib
erty in thought and action in regard to
religious belief. THE Methodists have
taken the position" he said, that no In
slider has any right to criticise the church.
If man is more than raiment, so is he
more than creeds. 1t would be more eco
nomical to trade with trade than with a
man."
