New Testament
Not Adequate?
University Of Chicago Heaves An
other Bomb Into Theological
Arena-Paul's Teachings Criti-
cised.
Especial Correspondence

II
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE Uni
versity of Chicago divinity schoo
continues to shock the orthodo,
by promulgating advanced ideas
on religious questions, Following
the recent editorial on the new
conception of theology, published
in the organ of the divinity schoo
with the acquiescence of the fac
ulty, comes a lecture by Prof
Clyde Weber Votaw, in which the
new testament is held as being
inadequate for modern ethical
needs.
Prof. Votaw holds that the
teachings of the new testament
especially those of Paul the Apos-
tie, must needs be reinterpreted
and supplemented to meet the
needs of a world in which condi-
tions are so different as are those
of today from those of the world
of 1900 years ago.
AS examples of teachings that
the modern world must discard,
Prof. Votaw cites Paul's admoni-
ton to woman in regard to re-
maoning yelled and keeping silent
during religious services, and his
teaching in regard to celibacy. He
even takes exception to the teach
ing attributed to Jesus concerning
the taking of an oath.
There are many things which
the new testament does not suf-
ficiently represent" he says. cit
does present wonderful and true
gallery of virtues, but the Anglo
Saxons are contributing others,
such as self-respect, self-reliance
self-realization, thrift, industry,
social rights, jurisprudence, and
moral and social justice.
I'VE are now in the progress of
the fifth great wave OF ethical ad-
vance since science began. Follow
ing the Hebrew-Jewish and the
Greek ethics, the Anglo-Saxons
are aided greatly to it. Modern
ethics has to make use of the an
Gent ethics, including that OF
Christianity. New testament eth.
les continue in the main valuable
and useful, and there is no litera
ture to be compared to it for the
beauty and power of it's ethica
ideas. The new testament is the
most important chapter in the his.
tory of ethics.

believe the time has come for the
State of Washington to change from
the present barbarous system of per-
sonal injury to more humane sys-

workmen and their dependents in
our Industries.
I believe the financial loss result
ing to workman from a personal
injury should be borne by the in
dustry, and not placed upon the
MANNED and crippled, the widowS
and children, the aged parents and
dependents and the charity of the
public, who are least able to bear
the burden; Today more than 80

largely the result of court-mada
law and it requires legislation to
change 1t. Those who receive any

rule, or drag their cases through the
courts at great expense in costs and
attorney fees.
Today casualty companies take
the place of the employers in treat

The casualty company takes from
the employer certain amount for
an indemnity policy and also GER

with these funds fight all personal
injury claims. That is wrong to the
workman and 1t is wrong to the

I am in favor of the State Conn

most nations of Europe. Put all the
money now paid by the employer
and workman in a fund under the
control and management of the
State Insurance Deparement and pay
all injured workmen a sum accord-

vention of casualty companies or

Francis Marion Buffenbarger,

Finally, that there might be nc

mar the event, he concluded to
hold 1t under his own immediate

for him to manage properly.
So he sent out invitations to
hundreds of friends and relatives,
and on the appointed day led the
funeral cortege to the cemetery,
where he had dug his own grave
and erected his own tombstone

THE WORST IS Over.
Great Danger from Waters
In Paris is Passed.
EXPLANATION OF THE FLOODS
Little Fear If Predicted Disaster to.
the Great elsy-conditiOns Are
Improving Everywhere.

Paris, BY Cable.-Slowly, very
slowly. the swollen waters of the
Seine, which reached the high mark
at 2 o'clock last Saturday morning,
are subsiding and at midnight the fall
measured about four and a half IN
ches.
The danger of some great calamity,
such as has been predicted now seems
over, although the situation contln-
ues to be critical at many points
within the city.
The effect of the removal OF the
water pressure has been to weaken
foundations generally and this causes
the greatest anxiety.
1t is generally believed that the
breaking of the dam at Gonnevlihers
appreciably FASTENED the climax by
releasing an immense amount of wa
ter, but the consequences below are
appalling. Gonneviliiers and Colon
hes, having 10000 inhabitants, are
completely submerged, the water
reached the tops of the houses in the
lower sections while the flood is
backing up into the very center OF
Asnieres.
Certainly 10000 have been driven
from their homes by the flood In the
valley of the Seine to the hospitals
and other buildings which have been
placed at the disposition of the re-
fugees.
The local government authorities
are displaying great devotion and
zeal in the work of salvage and
rescue. Nevertheless the conditions,
especially in the country districts,
are pitiful. The houses of farmers
are submerged to their roofs, and
in many cases the inhabitants have
lost everything including their live
stock.
A number of deplorable incidents
have been reported. Several shop
keepers, who attempted to charge
ouadruple prices have been mobbed,
while a grocery who vas driven to
the upper story of his house by an
angry crowd fired a revolver, wound
ing a Rowdies have at
tempted to pillage many of the
houses and at several of the towns
they have been driven off by the
military.
The explanations of the floods
given by French scientists are of
especial interest. Etienne Statislas
Mouniere, the eminent g~eologist,
considers the phenomenon to be more
of a geological than a meteorological
nature. After explaining the action
and reaction of the water In the
strata below the surface, he declares
that the soil of the entire basin of
the Seine and the other big rivers
of France had become imperceptibly
filed to the point of complete satur-
alton during the preceding three
months of gentle rains with moder-
ate temperatures which retarded
evaporation. When the heavy rains
came last week the ground was SUI
persaturated and the water a off
as if from a cement floor.
