yesterday morning, the Rev. w. A.

For centuries the progress Of science
has been opposed by Christian church
es. This Is due to the belief in the
infalllbility Of the Bible
THE Bible Is the classic literature Of
Israel, which Is the least scientific OF
all the writings OF antiquity. In ac-
cepting the sacred book as the infallible
word Of God, the church put the intel
lect OF Christians in bondage TO re-
ligious but unscientiflc people.
I'VE in our time have TO produce a
