dow Hollands, Senator Aldrich was
apparently somewhat encouraged over
the prospect Of making decided head

His hopes, were however. doomed
to early disappointment for only a few

right to follow his conscience rather
than the leadership Of any individual.

Chicago, June S.-Prof. Geo. B.

ers, pastor OF the Emmanuel Bap.
list church, to withdraw from the
Baptist ministry and to yield up his
ordination papers. The FIRE Of critic.
ism was directed chiefly at Prof. Fos-
ter's4 recent book The Function Of
Religion"
This motion as put before, several
hundred preachers and church laymen
gathered at the conference OF the
Baptist executive council and only the
objection Of one man, Prof. A., X.
Parker, who like Prof. Foster, Is an In.
Structor at the University of Chicago,
prevented the immediate eviction Of
the author of THE Function Of Reli-
gion" by practically unanimous vote.
Prof. Parker prevented action by
calling attention to a constitutional
provision preventing action without
weeks elaboration. The matter &C.
cordingly was postponed until June IA.

next Monday morning to present the
same motion" cried DR.. Myers defiant
ly.
After Prof. Foster had been char
acterized as ian undesirable Baptist"
and as a teacher who would dethrone
the church and deity evolution" that
the effort to eject him from the coun-
ellis of the denomination was made.
"Prof. Foster declares" cried Rev.
Mr.. Mathews in the course Of his dis
cussion Of the recent book penned by
Prof. Foster, "that one who calls him
self believer in the Bible is knave.
Then, thank heaven, am q knave."7
May l ask how that word is spelled"
interrupted Prof. Parker at this point.
"Knave" replied the speaker.
IF you will pardon the correction"
observed Prof. Parker, Il have the
book in my hand, and the word is
spelled 'naive.'" want to say at the
outset" said Rev. Mr.. Mathews that
as scholar have the highest respect
for Prof. Foster Iwassa pupil In his
first class of doctrinal apologetics. AS
q teacher and as gentleman hold
him In high regard. But In religion l
regard Prof. Foster aS an undesirable
Baptist.
prof. Foster states In his book,
The Function OF Religion, which /
propose to review, that God did not
make man in his own image. but that
man made God in hts own image. He
says we are not fallen angels but de-
velops animals. He says miracles
have always been the refuge Of ignor-
ance and that modern tichnic must
take the place Of magic. I wonder
what he means by modern technlc.'
HE declares that science has I'M
