Special Dispatch TO TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 1.-THE Presby-
terry Of Philadelphia has sent a formal
protest to the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church against the
kind of preaching that is being done
in the First Presbyterian Church IN
New York. preaching said TO be
against the Presbyterian Confession of
Faith. The Rev. DR.. Clarence Ed
ward Mccartney. pastor of the Arch
Street Presbyterian Church. spurred
his colleagues here into action.
The Rev. DR.. Harry Emerson Fos-
dick is associate pastor of the New
York church, but his name is not men
toned in the protest, or overture. as it
is technically known. DR.. Fosdick is
not Presbyterian, but a Baptist cler-
gyman. and for eleven years occupied
a Baptist pulpit in Montclair. n. ].
He is also professor OF practical theol-
ogy in the Union Theological Seminary
in New York. Raymond b. Fosdick,
associated with John ID. Rockefeller,
Jr.. and recently mentioned as a possi-
BILE head for the University Of Chicago,
Is his brother.
The overture. or resolution, was
adopted by the presbytery at a stormy
session yesterday afternoon In Cham
bers-Wylie Memorial Presbyterian
Church. The Presbyterian Church has
no Jurisdiction over a Baptist minis
ter, but DR.. Mccartney ana his adher-
ents contend that the General Assem-
bly, has jurisdiction over the kind OF
sermons that shall be delivered from
Presbyterian puIp.ts.

DIR. Macartney's Tract.

In that tract, DR. Mccartney outlines
his case against DR.. Fosdick as follows:
''Dr. Tosdick does not accept the Vir-
gin birth as historic fact. lie rejects
what he calls "a special biological
miracle as the explanation for the wa
in which Christ came into the world
Tho Virgin birth TO him is merely an
effort on the part OF religious devo-
ton and faith to account for the mani
fest superiority Of the character and
person Of Jesus
Or. Mccartney then quotes a passage
from DR.. Fosdick's sermon. the gist OF
which IL that Il was quite common In
ancient times TO credit tho founder OF a
religion with supernatural birth. that be-
ing done In the case OF Buddha,
Zoroaster. Lao Tsze and Mahavira. lie
quotes DR.. Fosdick as saying that the
first disciples or Jesus did the same with
His birth and "phrased II in terms OF a
biological miracle that our modern minds
cannot use" He says that st. Paul and
st. John never even dstantly allude
to the virgin BIRTH
This speaks for ITSELF Dr. Macart-
ncy declares in his tract. and then goes
on TO show what would follow II the
virgin birth were not accepted. The
opening chapters OF st Matthew and
st. Luke are pure myth. he says. and
the alleged iaCtS ana acts or thoSc
pages are merely a pious. dcvout and
natural effort OF believing men to ac-
count for the personality OF Jesus. IN
much the same way that the followers
OF Buddha. Zoroaster. Loo Tsze and
Mahavira tried to account for them.
Not only does DIR. Fosdick repudiate tho
virgin birth but he states that opinions
on the subject arc OF little Importance.
in no way affecting vital Christianity.
"Dr. Fosdick Is not a Presbyterian.
but he stands in n Presbyterian puluit
and gets his bread from a Presbyterian
congregation. In view OF this fact. how
can his holding the purely naturalislic
account OF the stories of the birth OF
Jesus be n harmony with his preach
ing in the pulpit OF n church whose
creed. never revoked. declares Uhe Con-
fcssion Of Faith. chapter VIII Artlcls

HOW SOUND is TRANSMITTED :j
Vibration Of the Air Strings Il 80 the
Ear-TraveIs Fastsr in Summer
t3 Than in Winter. 81

Sound is transmitted to the ear
by the vibration Of the air. When
one particle Of air is made to vibrate
It sets the adjacent particles to vi
brating, and so a sound wave, If not
( Obstructel, passes in all directions
from the sounding body. The calcu-
lated velocity OF sound in the air
when the temperature Is at freezing
point is 1850 feet per second. When
the temperature increases, sound
travels faster, and the rate has been
calculated at z little more than one
foot per second for each degree Of
rise in Fahrenheit's thermometer.
Contrary to popular belief, sound
travels faster in summer than. in
winter, and in warm than in cold
climates. It might be thought that
sound would travel more slowly
through a dense atmosphere, but the
elasticity increases as rapidly as the
density, and, therefore, the velocity
Of sound IS not affected by varying
density. The velocity OF sound in
water, when at the greatest density, is
4,7O7.4 feet per second. The expert
ments by which this velocity was de-
termined We're made by M. Callaodin,
in 1925, across the Lake OF Geneva,
from Role to Thonon, distance Of
about: nine miles, Water, therefore,
transmits sound four, times as fast as
air does. ~ i:} E. !, <?tr1 - /. !.
