BIBLE NOT INSPIRED,
 CLERGYMAN INSISTS
Storm Expected to Be Raised by
 UnorthOdOX Speech

New York, June 1O-Almost on the eve of the meeting of the New York Presbytery, which is next Monday, a Presbyterian minister of this city has stirred up a hornets nest by making an address which is consider ed not orthodox. to say the least.
 Several Presbyterian ministers con- demned it severely. Others regretted that it looks as if the local presbytery, always a storm center in the church as regards the orthodoxy of some of it's members, is again to be torn by dissension, when the general as- sembly at its recent meeting in At lantic city, threshed out unorthodoxy and censured clergymen guilty of it.
 Rev. George R. Andrews, pastors assistant at the West End Presbyter- ian Seminary, which has graduated several of the recent offenders is the man who started the trouble. Under the auspices of the religious work department of the West side Y. M c. A., MT. Andrews is giving a Truth Seeking Series'' each Thurs day night this month. The Rev. E. Graham Wilson, a member of the Westchester Presbytery, is head of this department.
 Last Thursday evening MT. An drews gave his orthodox hearers a shock by saying, that the "Bible is no more inspired than any of our hymns, the Rock of Ages for ev- ample" He said the Bible is not infallible, for it is "product of human experience, and as such it is colored by mans error God never said anything to man except through man.

The Three Worst Emotions

Jealousy, remOrse and a sense of irjustice-of all the painful emotions that we are called on to experience I think these are the most painful.
 Which is the worst of the three, I wouldn't presume to judge. They are all bad enough. And any one of them is altogether too bad for a kind-hearted woman to visit upon a child.
 And yet how many women do make their children smart from a sense of injustice because they, the mothers, will not take the time and pains to find out in every childish squabble just where justice lies.
 A friend of mine has two children, a little girl who is almoia invariably very sweet and good and obdient, and a boy just as sweet in his way, but with all the instinctive wilfulness and mischievousness that makes boy child so much more difficult to deal with than the average girl.
 The Boy of It and the Girl of It.
 He leases his little sister and he breaks and destroys things and is perpetually getting into mischief of one sort or another.
 His little sister is used to seeing him punished and I am afraid she enjoys it, for she has lately develop ed habit of running to her mother with news of her brothers misdeeds, especially offences toward herself.
 Brother pulled my hair;'' Moth CT, brother stepped on my foot" she says. And-whereby hangs my tale almost without investigation, brother is scolded or punished, because he us- ually is guilty.
 Once I happened to be a witness of one of these little fracases and knew that sister had been just about as much to blame as brother for the

SAY POMMERN WAS
 NEW CAPITAL SHIP
British Claim Vessel Sunk in Naval Battle Off Jut1and Was Built
 Secretly.

London, June 10, 9:03 a. m-The German warship Pommern which was sunk in the battle off Julian was not the batt1eship of that name but recently completed battle cruiser, according to Copenhagen despatch to the Exchange Telegraph company quoting a sea captain who is a frequent visitor to German ports The battleship, which was completed in 1905, was torpedoed in the Baltic in July, 1915, according to the cap- tain.
 Admiralty officials here have ex- pressed their belief to a representa- tive of the Associated Press that tn \ Pommern which was sunk in the great naval battle was a new capital ship. They point out that the com- mander of a British sumarine re- ported that he had torpedoed the o' ! battleship Pommern in July, 1917, and this report, they claim, was con- firmed by survivors of the battleship who were landed wearing her cat> band.
 The sinking of a German battle ship in the Baltic by British suE- marine was officially announced in the house of commons on July 21, 1915. It was stated at the time that the ship was believed to have been the POmmern, but this was promptly denied by the German government FolloWlng the Jut1and battle the Ger man admiralty issued a statement G-hylhg that the Pommern sunk was new ship. -

 Tattling Makes Prigs of Children.
 Incidentally, tattling is just as much a sin as hair pulling and should not be encouraged. Of course there are times when 8 child must tell in self-defence, but too often they get the habit and develop into self right eous little prigs.
 We de not easily forget injustice. A man of forty tells me that he has never ceased to burn with hate when he thinks of a nurse giru who unjust ly put the blame on him in 8 dispute between him and one of his sisters. He says he will never forget the fury he felt when he heard her refuse to corroborate him in his true story.
 The Unfairness Broke His Heart.
 ~ In an article on child's suicide is an uncanny story of the youngest suicide ever known. A child of three was playing with his younger brother when his mother came into the room with a tub of scalding water. There had been some fracas between the two children, and, with out question as to the right, the mother picked up the younger child and petted it and rebuked the elder. Whereat the three-year- old, in a pas sion of resentment, threw himself into the tub of water
 A horrible story, isn't it? But it
 shows how keenly even the young est child can feel injustice and should make the mother judges even more jealous how they deal out jus tice in the little court where their power is absolute.

satisfaction were a bit oVerdone. knew he would not have objected to Miss Draper's presence on our trip as strenuously as he wished me to be- lieVe he would
 But I resolutely put all doubts from me, and entered into Dicky's plans for the summer, over which he waxed enthusiastic as we sped along.
 "There are two or three of the fel- lows come down here summers who l know will be glad to go Dutch on a motor boat" he said. We can take the bulliest trips, way out to deserted sand islands, where the surf is the best ever. We'll take along a tent and spend the night there some- times, or we can stretch out n the boat. Then we must see if we can get hold of some horses. Do you ride? Think of it! We've been mar ried months and I don't know yet whether you ride or not!"
 NO, I don't ride but oh, how I've always wanted to!" I turned with enthusiasm. Then, with a sudden qualm, ''but all that will be terribly expensive, won't it?'
 Not so awful" Dicky said, smiling down at me. 'But even if it is, I guess we can stand it. I've had some cracking good orders lately. We'll have one whale of a summer
 Follow My Lead.'
 My heart beat high with happiness. surely, with all these plans for me, my husbands thoughts could not be much occupied with his beautiful model. As he lifted me down to the station platform at Marvin I looked with friendliness at the dingy, bat tered old railroad station which remem bered, at the defiant sign near it which trumpeted in large type, Don't judge the town by the station," and the winding main street of the village, which, when I had visited Marvin before, Dicky had wished to show me.
 Upon that other visit our first sight 1 of Grace Draper and Dickys interest l in her had spoiled the trip for me. ! I had insisted upon going back with out seeing some of the things Dicky 1 had planned to show me, and l had disliked the thought of the town ever since. But with Dicky's loving plans for my happiness dazzling me I felt a touch of the glamour with which he invested the place in my eyes. caught at his hand in an unwonted burst of tenderness.
 Let's walk down that old winding street which you told me about last winter" I said. 'I've wanted to see it ever since you spoke about it.''
 Well probably motor down 1t in- stead,' he grinned. '"There's a real .state office just opposite here, and I zee the agents f1ivver in front of the door, while he stands just inside his office. The spider and the fly, eh, Madge? Well, MT. Spider, here are two dear little flies for you!"
 "Oh, Dicky!" I dragged at his arm m protest. Don't spoil our first view of that street by whirling through it in car. Let's saunter 1own it first, and then come back to the real estate man."
 You have a gleam of human intel igence, sometimes, don't your" Dicky demanded banteringly Then he took my arm to help me across the rough places in the country road.
 We had almost reached the door of he office when Dicky caught sight of plainly dressed woman coming l toward us. I heard him catch his breath, his grasp on my arm tight aned, and with an indescribably agile

How Dicky Contrived to Avoid All Chances of Spelling Madge's Day.

How Diclxy COntrIVed to AVOld All
 Chances of Spelling Madge's Day.
 When Dicky, with flushed face and stammering tongue, made the f1imsy excuse to Miss Draper which was to prevent her from taking the train to Marvin with us, my dejection vanished in a Oment.
 Dicky had forgotten to telephone his model and secretary, Grace Draper, whom I heartily disliked, that he and I were to spend the day in Marvin, and that, therefore, she would not be needed at the studio. She had met us as we were coming to the station, and had coolly announced her intention of going back to Marvin on the train with us. Knowing that l had reckoned on our day alone to- gether, Dicky had promptly invented an errand for her at the studio.
 had the satisfaction of seeing her perfect poise shaken for just the fraction of a minute. She bit her lip, and her color heightened a bit But her voice was as calm as even.
 It's lucky you thought of the drawings for MT. Robinson now in stead of later in the day." she said irdifferently. I was sure that she knew as well as Dicky and I did that MT. Robinson, the art editor of Thurston's, was really in no hurry for the drawings Dicky had said were promised for the afternoon. But she was able to eliminate from her man. ner any suspicion that the errand was simply an excuse to keep her from travelling on the same train with us.
 She held out her hand to me as she left us, and I had to admit that her bearing was superb.
 Shall we not see you later in the cay, Mrs. Graham? ?" she asked sweet ly. My sister would be delighted to have you both come to dinner. May I not tell her you will be our guests?'
 We should be charmed, I am sure,'' I countered, "but MT. Graham's s mother is not well, as you probably 1 know, and we must get back to the city by dinner time."
 But our dinner is at noon"y she persisted. I saw that behind her !! smiling courtesy there was some par ticular reason why she wished Us to l come to her sisters home. You will l surely have to eat somewhere be- tween now and your dinner at home. Why not be our guests ?''
 Dicl&y is Diplomatic
 You are awfully kind" Dicky's voice struck in, to my intense relief But we have no idea where we shall | be at eating time. Next time we come we shall surely plan to accept your hospitality and your sisters. I have a very vivid recollection of the splendid eats we enjoyed at your house when we visited Marvin before. But today you will have to excuse us We are going to be two vaga bonds, l getting a, bite wherever we happen to be-"
 How perfectly fascinating! But I must not keep you. Good-by'' And with a dazzling smile at Dicky, a ', courteous nod to me, she was gone.
 Gee, I'm glad that I happened to think of those drawings.' Dicky gave a vast sigh of relief as we passed down to our train and found seats. We don't want anybody to share this day of ours do we, sweetheart?"
 I wanted to believe him. In spite } of my colder judgment my heart ieaped involuntarily at his words But his sigh of relief, his words of
