SAN JOSE, Oct. 23.-The business of
the annual Presbyterian synod of Cali
fornia. which has been held in the First
Presbyterian church of this city this
with heated discussion of Sunday rest
laws and the adoption of a resolution
calling for an interdenominational cam
paign for Sunday legislation which one
speaker declared more important than
anti-saloon measures. Pastors were Sc
lected to inaugurate a campaign in Cal
ifornia
Fresno was chosen as the next place
of meeting.
ATTACK ON INSTRUCTOR
Local Presbyterians were somewhat
excited by serious dissension in the
ranks of the synod.
Charges were brought against Doctor
Day, instructor of the seminary at San
Anselmo. by members of the synod, who
alleged that his teaching to the stu
dents was contrary to the orthodox
concepts of the Presbyterian faith.
AS examples they stated that he con-
ducts the studies along the line that
the story Of Jonah and the whale and
other miracles. and also the works of
lSdldh, were not true historically Dul
merely fables. 1t was even limited that
Doctor Day was an atheist.
The charges were brought by DR.. G..
W. Dinsmore of this city. He presented
a list of questions which he requested
Doctor Day to answer.
JURISDICTION QUESTIONED
Doctor Day refused TO answer the
questions on the ground that he was
not amenable to the synod and that he
could not answer questions that ques-
tioned-bis soundness of faith.
Doctor Mckenzie, president of the San
Francisco seminary, said that 10 years
ago he heard of people sending the
that the church had traditions. Doctor
Day he said, was amenable to the
synod and the traditions. SO. long as he
held the position OF instructor.
Doctor Mckenzie. president of the
San Francisco smeinary, said that 10
years ago he heard people sending the
students elsewhere, because the semi
nary was too orthodox. Now they
were attacking its liberality in views.
STUDENTS UPHOLD DAY
After several ministers, former stu
dents of Doctor Day, had taken the
platform and given evidence in behalf
Of his teaching. Doctor Dinsmore
again presented the synod resolution.
