PLACE TO TEACH
BIBLE is HOMES
IS AVS EXPERT

Disagreeing with the theories
of Bible teaching in the city
schools as advanced yesterday by
DR.. Craft at the Sunday school
convention, DR.. Henry F. Cope
said today that the home and the
church were the only logical
places to train young minds in re-
ligious subjects.
He was against public school
Bible instructions because of the
inability to eliminate creed bias.
1t is impossible, he believes, to
get a number of teachers who be-
lieve along the same lines. The
result would be a mix up Of
thoughts and the pupil would
Lave no definite understanding OF
the Bible when his instruction
was finished, DR.. Cope argued.

Crowds Fight
For Seats al
Everett Trial

EVERETT, May 17,-Men ant
women fight one another, bargain
sale style, to gain entrance to
the civil department OF superior
court where Judge Ralph G,
Bell and a jury are hearing the
Lyen $4,000 alienation suit.
Early today, long before the
doors were opened, there was a
motley array of men and women
lined up waiting to join in the
rush for seats.
A score or more of women
brought their tatting and crochet
work.
Weeping almost constantly,
Mrs. Samuel P. Wilson, mother
of Mrs. Esther Alden Lyen, told
her story.
The gray-haired woman's eyes
were red and swollen from
sleepless nights and days of sor-
row.
She had been caring for the
baby of the young Mrs. Lyen dur
ing the previous days of the trial.
She told of her meeting with
j. l.. Lyen, the banker, at her
home in Pinehurst, and OF the
subsequent conversation about
future plans for the young couple.
Lyen argued that they we're
too young to get married.
The mother refused To aband-
on the marriage plan.

Other testimony was simply a
corroboration of the story relat-
ed by Mrs. Esther Alden Lyen,
who gave the facts of her mar
riage to Cecil Lewis Lyen.
When the testimony OF wit
nesses conflicted as to the con-
duet of the couple at the wedding
in Attorney Benz. w. Sherwood's
office, Justice VIM. Shakespeare
was put upon the witness stand.
He was inclined to believe that
young Lyen acted on his own ini-
tiative when he refused to 60
home with his young bride.

night?" she was quoted as say-
ing.
NO, Alden, | can't" Lyen re-

NO, don't think | can" Lyen
again replied, and left her.
Attorney Sherwood was quoted
as saying; Il can't wish you hap
piness, Alden, but do feel sor-

He gave her S25 with which to
buy clothing for the baby.
