ATTEMPT TO GUST PROFESSOR.

ATTEMPT TO GUST PROFESSOR.
Prof. George B. Foster, Of the Uai-
verslty Of Chicago, whose writings, de-
nounced by some as ia bitter iudict'
ment Of the Christian religion before the
bar Of skepticism," greatly stirred the
clergy of Ohicsgo, yesterday. at a meet
ing of Baptist preachers OF chicago, was
called on by Rev. johnson Myers, pas
tor OF Emmanuel Baptist Church OF that
city, to Withdraw from the Baptist minis
try and to yield his ordination papers.
The fire of criticism was directed chiefly
at Professor Fosters recent book, "The
Function of Religion"
A motion was put before several hun
dred ptehchers and laymen, gathered at
the conference OF the Baptist Executive
Council, and only the objection of one
man-Prof. A. K Parker, who, like
Prot. Foster, is an instructor at the
University OF Ohicsgo, prevented the
eviction by calling attention to con-
stitutional provision preventing action
without weeks deliberation. The case,
accordingly, was postponed until June H.
1t was after Professor Foster had been
characterized rs ian undesirable Bsp'
tists" and as teacher who "would de.
throne the church and defy evolution"
that the effort to eject him from the
councils OF the denominations was made.
According to Rev. w. A. Matthews,
one of the speakers at the meeting,
Professor Foster declares that one who
calls himself believer In the Bible Is
knsve."
Professor Foster states in his book
that God did not make man In his own
image, but that man made God ln his
own image. He says We are not fallen
angels, bat developed animals. de says
that miracles have always been the
refuge OF ignorance, and that modern
technic must take the place OF magic.
He declares that science has undermined
the Trinity and that Jesus wss q child
OF his time suc that to copy Jesus Is TO
kill the soul. The professor makes
TRADE against the clergy. He says the
book OF humanity Is greater than the
Bible,
