BULLDOGS GETTING READY FOR GAME
 WITH PLAINSMEN
Coach Cope May Have To Shift Lineup For The
 Auburn Game

Constructive criticism eand light workout was the schedule for the Howard college Bulldogs Monday afternoon on Berry Field. Coach Harris c. Cope and Coach Dobblns gave the team some coaching along the lines brought out by the strong Vanderbilt eleven Saturday as weak and let that be emphasized with a little actual work. However, the team was recuperating Monday and the coaches went easy on their charges.
 The Bulldogs found the vandy team equal in strength to their reputation Saturday and were overwhelmed In the first quarter by the Tennesseans' mighty rushes. After the second team went in the Howard ag- gregation fought them on even terms and they were able to shove over only one more touchdown.
 The Bulldogs will get under way in earnest Tuesday afternoon in preparation for the Auburn game at Auburn next Saturday. The Plains men have not shown a great amount of ability as 8 football machine this year, having let Clemson play them to a scoreless tie and Birmingham Southern hold them to 20-point vic tory, and the Howard aggregation hope to give the Plainsmen good battle.
 Coach Cope will run his men re- lentlessly this week getting them rounded into form for the game and expects to send in his strongest of fensive combination against the Tigers.
 The Bulldogs made a great show ing against Sewanee in the first game and although Vandy outclassed them in the second they will enter the third determined to make a good showing.
 Several shifts have been made in the lineup during the past week and very likely others will be made dur- ing the coming week. The backfield especially has been switched up but may have to be changed again for the Auburn game to eliminate fresh men from the lineup. Several fresh men played in the Vandy games but they will not be allowed to play against Auburn unless special ar- rangements are made

from the Scriptures to establish three of his contentious: First, that there are inaccuracies which are unscien- tific or unhistorical; second, that there are passages which represent God as doing something which seems to be morally wrong.
 Any one of these inaccuracies contradictions or immoral sanctions would, taken alone, prove my thesis that the Bible is not the infallible word of God. All of them. taken to- gether. and many others which might be cited. constitute body of evidence within the book itself which refutes my opponents contention. It is a wonder that there are not more in- constituencies in the volume, for it is a whole literature rather than book by one author.

MODERN|STS WIN IN
 DEBATE ON CHURCH
Potter Is Winner Over Straton,
 Who Is FundamentaiSt

New York, Dec. q. - The Rev. Francis Potter, pastor of the West Side Unitarian church and an avowed modernist, defeated the Rev. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, a fundamentalist, in a debate on the subject, "The Bible Is The Infallible Word of God" The judges who made the decision were Almet r. Jenks, formerly presiding justice of the superior court; Ernest l.. Conant, lawyer, and c. Neal Bar nev. former mayor of Lynn, Mass, and trustee of Tufts college.
 In announcing the decision of the judges, when was reached by a, vote of to 1, Justice Jenks said that the merits of the question were not con Ssidered nor passed on by them, but that they had been influenced solely by the arguments brought out by each speaker in support of his con- tention.
 Calvary Baptist church. where the debate was held, was filled to the doors by an audience which seemed about equally divided in allegiance to speakers. Some of the more enthu- siastic tried several times to raise three cheers for their favorite, but they were suppressed by the chair man.
 Dr. Straton based his argument on six main foundations which he sum- marized as follows:
 I. The preservation and increase In distribution of the Bible in face of ruthless hostility,
 2. The Bibles universality as eN- emplified by the fact that it exists in. written form in practically every tongue on earth; the only book that has done so in the history of man. 8. The Bibles unity shown by tho fact that, although it was ,500 years in the making by men in every walk in life, and was gathered in G6 di- visions, the uniformity of expressed thought is constant throughout.
 {. The Bibles fulfilled prophecies from the destruction of Ninovch and Tyre to tho birth Of Christ.
 !. The Bibles own proved claim to infallihiity.
 G. The Bibles self-proved author fly
 Fire and sword and persecution and war" said Dr. Straton, have done their utmost to eradicate this book from among men and to pre- vent it's circulation: but, like tho burning bush Of Moses, while burning i, has remained still unconsumod. It is said that in one century i50,oo0 persons were butchered for reading tho Bible.

different men over nearly a thousand years. They represent, in the old Testament, the literature of the Hebrew race. and in the New Testa- ment the documents of early Chris tianity. Many of these books were written for special purposes, and l doubt if any one of them was written with the idea that it would be i'm cluded in the Bible. Paul, for in stance, writes a letter to the people of Thessalonica giving specific coun- sels for their peculiar situation. Take the Psalms alone, usually ascribed to David. It takes only few hours study to reveal that we have here not q number of compositions by one man, but the final edition of the Hebrew hymn book, compilation of many different hymns by many different au- thors.
 If you presume that they were all written by David under the inspira- tion of God, and the infallible word of God. howecan you account for the imprecatory Psalms?'

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY DECEMBER 21 1923

"These childhood and boyhood questions of mine. found in later college years and in theological sem mary years are the very questions which are asked by the so-called higher critics. When found that q number of learned men, most of them Christians, were asking the same questions which had bothered me about the Bible, I began to read their books, but I thought them very mild and tame.
 "rhe trouble with the higher crit les appeared to me to be that they were too much concerned with mat ters of detail, such as words in the text, minor discrepancies, and things of that nature. But what concerned me more, and really trouble me. were the direct contradictions between va rious sections of the Bible and the things which the Bible said God com manded and which seemed to me wrong"
 The minister then quoted at length
New Britain herald., 1923-12-21

God is too great to be included be- tween the covers of any printed book, Not the literature of single race, nor even the literature of all races, is sufficient to comprehend the wonder and the glory and the goodness Of God. We can read His message in the sunshine and the flowers. We can read the story of the making of the earth and of the life upon it carved deep in the eternal rocks The aspirations toward goodness within the heart of man are d better evidence Of God than all the books ever written"

carries in it's bosom the seed of it's own destruction.
 Permitted To Survive | ''Is it too montsrous to suppose that maze of myths, or a cunningly de-
 vised tissue of lies, errors and super stitions could so have gripped the
 human race? And from Gods side, assuming that there is living God. l is not the thought that He would all
 low the Bible to continue to flourish.
 if it is fake? absurd, upon the l very face of it.
 'Is it not true, therefore. that to obey the divine origin and infallibil- ity of the Bible is really to deny the existence of a wise and loving God?
 'The modernists and the rational ists cxalt the individual consciousness as the seat of final authority. This only means that God has been de- throned and the man put in his place. "A man who becomes a law unto himself and declares he will do only what he himself thinks right and what he wishes to do we call an an- archist. With sober hearts and ear-l nest minds we need to face the ques- ton whether this truth does not ap- ply to the man in the religious world who says the same thing.
 "The silly sensationalism, the rag time religion that is seen in many of our churches and the puny little es- says that are delivered from many of our pulpits and dignified through an trif bo af ,,s are pitiful in comparison with the grand preaching of the past, which gave forth sure note of warning and promise by the very authority of God Himself speaking through His Holy Word"
 Dr. Straton here abandoned argu- ment for appeal and exhorted his re- ligious colleagues to re-establish the authority of the Bible and "come back to the old fashioned preaching that flows from it." Rejection of au- thority in home. state or church, he said, is the greatest and most men, acing danger of,thc day.
 Dr. Potter devoted the early part of his speech to careful analysis of how the reading of the Bible had affected him from the days of his youth. He recalled reading at the age of 9. His parents were poor, he said, and he remembered going into the cellar of their humble home and praying for gold, believing that God had the power to turn a ninepin into money. He was told that prayer was not answered unless the thing prayed for was good, and he could not un- derstand why gold would not be good to help his family
 Many other things rose to bother his inquiring mind. He could not understand why if it was wrong to lie the. commandments did not forbid it directly. When he raised questions of his doubt either at home or { in Sunday school an evasion usually re- suited. Going to college he continued to wonder about many things he could not understand, and he made a close analysis of the scrip lures fin his search for truth.
 At IF. in college. he suggested that the question of the virgin birth he debated and was called a Unitarian. He conunued.
