CALLED UNDESIRABLE BAPTIST
Recent Book Is Under Fire at Chicago
Meeting-Action in Case Is
Postponed.

Foster, whose writings denounced as
"a bitter indictment of the Christian
religions before the bar of skepti-
cism' have narrowed the clergy Of
Chicago, was yesterday called upon by
Rev. Johnston Meyers, pastor of the
Emmanuel Baptist church, to with
draw from the Baptist ministry. The
fire of criticism was directed chiefly
at Prof. Fosters book THE Function
of Religion The motion requesting
Prof. Fosters withdrawal was put be-
fore several hundred preachers and
church laymen gathered at the con-
ference Of the Baptist executive coun-
Gil, with the objection of only one
man, Prof. A. X. Parker, who, like
Prof Foster. is an instructor at the
University of Chicago. Prof. Parker
prevented action by calling attention
to constitutional provision prevent
ing action without deliberation. The
matter was accordingly postponed un-
til June IA.
II want to say now that I'll be here
next Monday morning to present the
same notion cried Dr. Meyers, de-
family.
Called undesirable Baptist"
1t was after Prof. Foster had been
characterized as IAN undesirable Bap-
tist' and as teacher who would de-
throne the church and defy evol,l-
tion," that the effort to eject him from
the councils of the denomination was
made.
81 want to say at the outset" said
Rev. Mr. Mathews, that as a scholar
have the highest respect for Prof.
Foster. I was a pupil Of his first class
of doctrinal apolOgetics. AS teacher
and as a gentleman hold him in high
regard But in religion l regard Prof.
Foster as an undesirable Baptist.
Prof. Foster states in his book that
God did not make man in his own i'm
age, but that man made God in his
own image He says we are not fallen
angels, but developed animals.
Trade Against Clergy.
HE declares that science has un-
dermined the Trinity-of course, that
is in his own mind. He says that Jesus
was child of his time and that to
copy Jesus is to kill the soul. He
makes TRADE against the clergy. He
says that the book of humanity is
greater than the Bible
When the motion was made to ex-
pei Prof. Foster there were cries of
Second it! Second it, from all over
the hall.

smoking department, on the third
floor of the building. Here he was un-
able to breathe, and as he tried to get
away from the suffocating place he
was jumped upon by dozen men,
borne to the floor and captured.
Some Of the workmen were so en-
ragged by the fearful scene that they
had witnessed that they lost their
heads and administered a severe beat
ing to Murphy before the police could
get him away.
Murphy had been acting queerly of
late He is married man with three

regarded as a sober, steady and indus

powerfully built. From his occupation

quired a fierce dexterity with the nine

In padded cell at the Somerville
police station Murphy allowed no one
to approach him yesterday, and after
hours Of raving he began to pray. To-
day he will be given hearing.
