BIBLE CLASS DEBATE
ON I'm GOD WE TRUST"
Mayor sutphen, of Bloomfield, Upholds
Roosevelt and William Biggart
Opposes Presidents Order.

Before the members Of the Bible class
in Westminsters Presbyterian Church.
Bloomfield, Mayor William P. Sutphen and
William Blggart yesterday talked on the
recent order of President Roosevelt re-
garding the coin motto, In God We
Trust" Mr.. Sutphen took the side of
the President, and declared that the chief
executive undeniably had the right to
order the inscription off the coins. Mr..
Sutphen did not believe that many CT
those present knew exactly what coins the
inscription was on, and the majority nd
mitted that they did not.
Mr.. Biggart believed that the President
had no right to issue the order. He said
that 1t had been placed thereon by an act
of Congress passed during the Civil War.
Mr.. 'Sutphen did not see what use the
inscription was on the coins, but those
present seemed to think that Mr.. Bigsart
had the better of the argument.
