DR.. George E. Hunt, for twenty
wears pastor of the Christ Presbyter-
! ian church, Madison, was cleared last
week of a charge of heresy against
him by other clergymen of the Mad1-
son presbytery of the church. The de-
cision sustains DR.. Hunt in his asser-
lions that the Bible and the Presby-
| terrain confession of faith are not IN
fallible. He declares that the explain
alton in Genesis of the creation of the
world and such stories as Jonah and
the whale and Daniel in the lions
den are ridiculous. There were five
charges against DR.. Hunt, and none
were sustained. But the fight to con-
yict the modernist pastor will be con-
tinued and the Rev. r. H. Aitcherson
of Povnette, prosecutor in the case,
declared that he would appeal to the
synod.
