They were lodged in the city jail
and were taken charge of later In the
day by Pike county officials.

In tho course of his sermon DR..
MacSporran took fling at the per-
son who considers exclusiveness one

spairingly of persons of this sort. but
at the same time sounded an optimis-
tic note in foretelling their passing.
The minister drew an object lesson
from the story Ct Joseph and his
brothers, commencing Joseph to his
congregation.
There is one person am afraid
OF, who makes me more awkward and
stupid than l naturally am and that
is the superior person-those who
consider exclusiveness one of the fine

the opportunity Joseph had to become
one of these when his brothers were
brought covering before him, he UNI

pointed out that Joseph, being a

false superiority or attitude. He

fact that the world is turning to

DR.. GRANT DECLARES
STORY OF ADAM AND
EVE is ONLY FABLE

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The biblical
version of the Garden OF Eden, and
the story of Adam, the apple and
poor Eve" is fable, DR.. Percy Stick
ney Grant, rector of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Ascension,
told his congregation today. He made
a plea for thorough house cleaning
by the churches.
There is need of a new religion If
the church will not clean house of
all its fetishes," he said. 1.-THE fun
damentalists in religion believe that
they will attain happiness in the
world to come through the belief in
the miraculous conception of Christ,
His death and ascension into heaven.
This theory is as unworthy of modern
intelligence as will be belied today in
theories of the Egyptian priests of
the past.
1--WE cannot adhere to fables in re-
ligion any longer, for the young peo-
pie of today are not going to believe
what their grandparents did. The
mind must contribute something to
religion"
DR.. Grant, who recently was the
center of a storm because of his ex-
pressions denying the diety of Christ,
arrayed himself today on the side of
evolution. He declared he had
rather be on the upgrade with the
descendants of the ape than on the
downgrade with Adam as represent
ing the degenerate Son of God"
He said that the Old Testament
version of God of vengeance" was
not Christianity, but part of a pagan
system"

CANDY BURGLAR PROVES
EXCLUSIVE In HIS TASTE

A new type of burglar, the candy
man, made his appearance in Birming-

him trail of mystery exceeded only
by the ak man, the hammer man and
the man flo kgers. A glass show
case in front of the United g.. 10 and
20 Cent store at 2213 Second avenue
was broken into and a small quantity
of candy removed. The case con-
tanned a large amount of candy, but
only few pounds were taken.
1t Is not known whether the candy
man. possessed an abnormal sweet
tooth and was smitten by wild
craving that had to be satisfied in
stantly and only required a small
amount. or whether he was disap-
pointed in the variety and flavor OF
the sweet. City officers who inves-
tigated were unable to determine at
the time whether kisses or lollipops
had been removed.
