CHICAGO April 10.-Bishop Fallows
and the Episcopal ministers of Chicago
unite in denouncing Canon Henson of
Westminster Abbey, who, in the Con-
temporary Review of London. attacked
the Bible, and especially the Old Tes-
lament. calling it "a pack of lies" and
declaring it to be "demoralizing and
too gross for liberation"
When asked how he regarded Canon
Henson's statement, Bishop Fallows of
St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church,
replied:
He is off his base. His are not the
sentiments of the man, but rather of
a critic who is not in a position to criti-
cize the Bible The grand old Bible
will withstand all attacks, but 1 can't
help regretting that such sentiments
come from a man holding such a re-
sponsible position. l believe the man
is seeking notoriety."
When asked if he thought Canon
Henson's views would have any effect
on the people, Bishop Fallows replied:
Il think not, for the people of this
age are too enlightened to believe trash
of this kind
Rev. James s. Stone of ST. James
Church said:
Il don't think Henson's article
amounts to anything, although it is a
savage attack. If that is the worst he
can say, the Bible will hold it's own for
all time to come. He does not make
good his assertions, and / do not take
him seriously"
In some respects Rev. r. A. White of
the Stewart Avenue Universalist
Church agreed with the statement of
Canon Hensen.
There is much in the Bible that we
cannot believe, and many of it's teach
ings we cannot follow" said he. 1T is
simply chronicle OF the times in many
parts. 1t grew uD like all other re-
ligions; it is simply an outgrowth of
the spirit of the times and the teach
ings of the men of those days. / think
the Bible is a great piece of literature.
But / view it as l do all other great
pieces of literature. We must pick out
those things which are applicable to
our present conditions of society. Some
of the ethics are perfect and some of
them are villainous. Yet we cannot
throw it aside simply because some OF
it is absurd and unworthy of belief"

FLOODS RAGE
In MONTREAL
Ice Piles Against Victoria
Bridge and Water Backs
Into Streets of the City

MONTREAL, April 10.-Montreal is
experiencing a serious flood. Early to-
day large quantity of ice came down
from Lake ST. Louis and jammed up
against the Victoria bridge. In a few
minutes the water began to rise and in
a short time it had reached the top of
the dyke built after the last great flood
and which had been, up to the present
time, a sufficient protection. In short
time it became possible to navigate all
that portion Of Verdun in the neighbor-
hood of the Queens Park with boats.
All the teams that could be pressed
into service were engaged in strength
ening and raising the dyke. At s
O'Clock the water had reached depth
of six feet in the streets. Tonight 1t
is falling, but the danger is by no
means over yet, as there is more ice
to come down.
Three thousand people in the village
of Verdun, adjoining the limits of Mon
treal are tonight living in the upper
stories of their houses. while several
thousand more who reside in the part
of the city known as Point ST. Charles
are IN danger.
La Prairie, which is situated oppo-
site Verdun, was flooded at an early
hour to-day and four houses situated
on the river front were carried off their
foundations by the ice.
MEMPHIS, April 10.-The Mississippi
River at this city tonight has come
to stand after rising three-tenths of
a foot since Saturday night. 1t is pre-
dicted that the water will begin to
recede tomorrow. Thus far all the
levees in the Memphis territory nave
withstood the overflow and it is
thought that when the water begins to
recede all danger will be over.

RELIGIOUS MEETING
is ENDED IN A ROW

Evangelist Incurs Displeasure of Her
Congregation and Several Ar
rests Follow.
SALT LAKE, April 10.-A religious
meeting at the Nazarene Mission
Church ended in a row tonight. Mrs.
Kent White of Denver, an evangelist,
her travelling companion, r.. E. Beedle-
man. and ]. A. Headlund, local archi-
tect and a member of the board of di-
rectors of the church, were arrested
for making disturbance and taken to
the police station.
Mrs. White held nightly meetings in
the church last week. In one address
she attacked the NaZarene Church at
Los Angeles, and thereby incurred the
disapproyal of some of the church
members. She was requested not to
speak again. Tonight, however, she
refused to be silenced, and, together
with Beedleman and Headlund, is said
to have disturbed the meeting by sing
ing and jumping about after the fash
ion Of the Holy Jumpers" The police
were called and the arrest followed.

sons criticism of the Bible. Father
Wyman said:
Canon Henson asks: rs the faith of the
church in the divine Christ really built an
empty tomb p
Yes. but on tomb that 10 glorious, that has
for 1900 years inspired the hope of Immortality
in countless millions.
He is right. But his religion. unfortunately
rests not this glorious sepulcher of the risen
Christ but upon a sepulcher full of dead men s
bones-foul and oathsome, in which were laid
the corruptible bodies of licentious kings and
queens and ministers of state.
He justifes himself in part by saying that
the ajority of the English people do not be-
ieve in the corporal resurrection of Christ.
What has this to do with the fact of the resur-
rection? The maj jority of the Jews contempo-
rary with Christ did not believe in it. and 1
think that II Canon Henson had lived at that
time he would sooner have believed the state
ment of the bribed guards that the body of
the Redeemer was stolen away from the tomb
while they slept and knew nothing about what
was happening than the disinterested testi-
mony of the Apostles and disciples who sacri-
feed every worldly advantage for their faith in
this great fact upon which the truth and au-
thenticity of the Christian religion depends.

The Rev. William RAIDER said:

His view that no connection exists between
the truth of Christianity and the traditional
notions Of its historical origins is, to my mind.
the most significant statement in its bearings
upon the fundamentals of the Christian re-
ligion.
Canon Henson's views on the Bible are the
generally accepted conclusions of the higher
critics. but his views on Christianity strike al
the very heart, not only of orthodoxy. but OF
progressive orthodoxy. He not only recon-
mends suppementing reading the Bible in the
church with Christian compositions which
have secured the approval Of general accept
ance," but seriously questions accepted YER
sions of Christian truth.
Here Is canon of Westminster who wants
an expurgated Bible, an expurgated church and
an expurgated Christianity. Christian scholar
ship might stand for the first and the second,
but hardly for the third
am glad that the responsibility is with the
Church of England. rather than with the Nom
conformists. There is enough truth in the
Bible and in the church TO keep all preach
ing and practicing TIL the end of time
s;uch articles as Canon Henson's in the Con-
temporary Review calculated to defeat
their own purpose by unsettling the minds of
the unlearned and disgusting the minds OF
nv knowledge OF the religious life of Eng
land leads me to believe that, while the can
on's views on the Bible might be tolerated. his
reflections Christianity will bring down
upon his head torrent of criticism, independ-
ent OF sect or church.
II seems manifestly unfaif, however, for one
10 make sweeping statements of an article the
whole Of which he has not read. When man.
however asks for the revision of Christianity
he places himself In a position for criticism
especially if he be high dignitary OF the
church.
