CLERGY DIFFER IN THEIR IDEAS ON USE OF BIBLE Sufragan Bishop Acheson Advocates Twentieth
 Century Methods REV. E. l.. WELLS
 FOR OLD TESTAMENT HFidwinter Conference of Sunday School Union
 Branch
Hartford. Jan.

Hartford, Jan. 19-Rev. Edward Champion Acheson, suffragan bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecti- cut, and Rev. E. L. Wells evidently do not agree as to how the Bible ought to be taught, according to their remarks before the winter conference Of the Hartford branch of the Con- necticut Sunday School Union last night. 9
 The bishop advocated a modern in depreciation of the Old Testament, which MT. Wells said. in effect, that one might as well deny the deity of Jesus Christ as deny the Old Testa- ment- He said he believed that the teachers ought to teach the Old Tes- lament as the word of God
 Bishop Acheson said that there is a lot of the Bible had better be left alone. It cannot be taken in it's lit eraI sense. He said that the story of the flood was simply the old Seme- tic idea of the destruction. of the world in sin.
 Don't bring up, our children to be little hypocrites.'' ; said the speaker. He advised the teaching in the twentieth century light. fa (
 Rev. B. L. Wells then spoke wig orously in favor of the Old Testa- ment. He said there were people who said that Moses could not write. but it has been discovered that he was a member Of an old diplomatic corps and eou1d write several languages. He said that higher critics have fore ed the church to prove the Bible. He admitted that he might be old fash toned. but argued that the deity of Jesus Christ might as we'll be denied as to deny the Old Testament. He thought that the Old Testament should be taught as the word of God. He concluded il1is talk By saying that, when the church. gives up the Old Testament, he will ask the Bishop to dismiss him from the church.

Many OF the old leaders have looked with
disfavor upon Hitchcock's connection
with tho Hughes boon and he has been
obliged to contend against the animos!-
ties which remained over from 1908,
when he conducted the campaign as
chairman OF the National Committee.
The reyivifying Of Mr.. Hitchcock As
