Elder ]. w. McGarvey, president of
the Bible College of Kentucky univer-
sity of Lexington, will be called on to
give his deposition in court to prove that
the Bible story of Jonah and the whale
is true. He is to be summoned in the
suit of the Bible College of Missouri to
recover $1,000 from DR.. Gustave A. Hoff-
man of st. Louis. DR.. Hoffman gave his
note for $1,000 to help the Missouri col
lege, but refused to pay it because the
college taught that the Jonah story was
a myth. Other highlights of the Chris
tan church besides President McGar-
vey will be called to give their deposi
tons in support of the Jonah story, and
it is expected that they will repudiate
the Bible College of Missouri on ac
count of it's teachings.

there will be a ira gedy unless the Ohio
