THEOLOGY
By ROBERT B. PECK
T'S FUNNY what a difference it
makes whether bird is preacher

Isl
Il or scientist" remarked Marty
IcMahon, the retired bartender, when It
prob'ly would be good thing for all hands
II all preachers was scientists an all scien
lists was preachers.
"Not so long ago the big bugs in some
church called preacher up on the carpet
because he said he didn't believe the story
of Adm an the Garden of Eden was an eye
witness account an had some doubts as 70
whether Jonah really was in the tonneau OF
the whale as long as he let on.
Soon enough after that to be called an
act of providence by them that still is ig-
uorant enough to believe in such there comes
a statement from Philadelphia scientist
shat he'd found the original of the story of
Adam an the forbidden fruit an the Garden
IF Eden in a fairy tale somebody wrote on
orick in Babylon 5000 years or SO ago an
slowed away.
The story is near enough like that Genesis
wrote fer the Bible so that even low-bros,
ike me has a right to have his suspicious
either that the hird in Babylon swiped it
from Genesis or old man Genesis swiped it
from him,
"As they figure out that the Babylon story
was wrote two or three thousand years before
Genesis got. his name in Who's Who it's
a einch that the bird in Babylon didn't steal
none of his stuff Some scientist may dig un
a still older brick some place an prove he
wiped it, but Genesis couldn't make no
barge against him.
''The Babylon story tells about Adam get
tin thrown out on his ear fer eatn' some
kinda food that give him learnin'-prob'ly
Grape Nuts, but it don't say. 1t amt got no
Eve in it at all an aint got no serpent,
either
ut seems like two-three thousand years
ater this bird Genesis, who had crouch on
snakes an women, decided to improve on the
story an lugged in Eve an the serpent an
put in an apple instead of Grape Nuts, which
shows he musta come from Washington in
steada Michigan.
.You can't believe them birds from, the
Pacific Coast when they're talkin' about
apples, an / don't suppose they're above lvin'
about snakes, either. AS to women. IT'S been
my experience you can't believe nobody from
either coast, nor in between
anyhow, this bird Genesis. whether he
was from Washington or somewheres else,
flAed up a yarn that makes a good argument
Il you're argain' with woman or snake,
but that most folks haven't taken much stock
IN as the literal truth fer quite awhile.
Bat If a preacher is educated enough an
honest enough to say what most other folks
have been thinkin' about the yarn he's up on
the carpet in no time.
why, I've had experts, seaiarin' men
some Of EN- men that had sailed in whalers-
tell me right across the bar IN the old place
on Tenth Avenue that there was a lotta bunk
IN that Jonah story. A whale couldn't swal-
low q man no more than they would swallow
that story, they said. They claim a whale
sucks all his food through sieve an if he
got ahold of anything much bigger'n 3 sar-
line he'd choke to death.
'Batif q preacher takes a whaler's word for
t he's in had"

NeWSPAPERMAN KIDNAPPED
By ARMED MEN IN DUBLIN
Had Received Threat He Would Be
Put In Burial Vault

Dublin, Jan. 5.-(By A. PA. r.
Kay. correspondent for the London
Times, was kidnapped last night by
three armed men while with other news
paper men in a grocery shop. There
has been no word of him since his dis
appearance and no explanation of his
seizure.
The correspondents attending this
mornings session of the Dali Eireann
demanded his immediate release and the
punishment of his kidnappers.
Kay's friends pointed to an article
he wrote recently from Cork, saying
that some Of the leading fighting men OF
that city favored ratification of the
Irish treaty, as a possible reason for
his abduction. They said he was warned
at that time to leave Cork on the threat
that he be put in vault with corpses
and a candle"
Michael Collins told the correspond =
ents he had sent two of his best men to
Cork to rescue Kay, and that the kid
nappers would be severely punished.
Announcement that Kay's release
might be expected shortly was made In
message from Cork received by Des-
mond Fitzgerald. Minister Of Propa-
ganda. this afternoon.
