SAYS NOAH WAS
NATURE FAKER
Chicago Minister Calls Story
"MOSt PaIpabIe Sort
of Lie"

CHICAGO, Nov. S-The crowning
nature fake is the biblical story Of
Noah's rescue Of animals from the
great flood. according to a statement
by Dr. Emil G. Hirsch in his sermon
at Sinai Temple.
There may have been a Noah,' said
DR.. Hirsch, but the inundation story
is the most palpable sort of lie
Even If there had been the flood and
Noah really built him an enormous
ark for the safe conveyance of the fav-
ored people and the beasts, It would
have been a physical impossibility for
such a large group of living things to
have survived a voyage in a single
vessel.
"The primitive peoples Of earth were
impressionable as children to-day
They would easily give cTedence to
such a tale as that of Noah's voyage.
and pass it down to their children. But
to-day we must accept il only as
pretty fabrication"
