who asked that his name Be not made
public, expressed keen regret that an
other case of Union Seminary students
should come up at this time, Just on the
eve of the meeting OF the p%resbytery.
DR.. BurrelI Blamcs Seminary.
The Rev. Or. David James Burrell Of
the Marble Collegiate Church when he
heard of Mr.. Andrews address inquired
II It were not another Union Semi
nary product. When a reporter saw
him he remarked that good men In
charge Of a Y. NJ. c.. A.. branch are not
always able TO control speakers utter
ances at meetings. but hat teachers In
a theological seminary have more direct
control. Then he said
~ am sorry that Union Seminary, my
own theological alma mater, has fallen
into disrepute as a centre Of anti-biblicai
teaching. And I regret exceedingly that
the Y. NJ. c. A. In some OF Its branches
has been false to It's name n obli-
cations In the same way. II can
scarcely be expected In the circum-
stances that pastors who are loyal to
the Gospel of Jesus Christ would COM
mend young people to Its care, and
Christian parents will certainly think
twice before doing 30.

whatever that LANCER may be Mr..
| Andrews seems TO have escaped IL. lie
says the Bible Is a product Of human
experience. 1t claims to have been writ
ten by holy men as they were moved
by the spirit OF God. He says preachers
who believe In the truth OF the Scrip
lures are liable to become defenders Of
the Word and not preachers Of IT, which
statement Is simply funny e those who
are familiar with current events. He
says that faith in the Scriptures leads
Christian assemblies to consume their
time in heresy prosecutions. which
shows his ignorance Of the Scriptures
as n rule OF order In the Church of
God"
MIR. Wilson Defends Mr.. Andrews.
Tho Rev. Mr.. Wilson. religious direc-
ter Of the West Side branch, when seen
yesterday. said:
