nothing that the soul can rest upon
with Assurance and confidence. though
having an infallib1e Bible in their
hands. They do not treat the Bible
as infallible. They subject it to the
decision of human reason, which
should bow reverently in the presence
OF Gods magnificent revelations, and
they make it the plaything of human
culture, which no more can sit in
Judgment upon the inspired writings
than the grossest illiteracy."
The evangelist told his hearers he
would have to accept divine healing as
a fact, "even II the Bible were silent
on this truth-which it is not--for /

healing through prayer in my own
body" Mr.. Richey declared BE- was

HOUSE CENTERS
ITS WORK ON
TAX BILL
Reduction. Of Cigar Tariffs
Up For Consideration
By Solona

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.--CP--
The widespread reductions in excise
taxes provided by the revenue bill
held the attention of the House today
as it neared the finish of its DELHI
erations on this measure.
Interest centered in the automobile
passenger car levy which the bill
would reduce from five to three per
cent with some members, supported
by the American Automobile Associa-
ton, demanding repeal OF the tax.
TAX BOOST KILLED.
The bill provides for repeal Of the
taxes on automobile trucks, tires and
accessories and managers Of the meas
ure who have 50 far seen amendments
warded off by overwhelming majori-
ties were prepared to demand that the
reduced passenger car levy be retain
ed.
One of the most concerted drives
against the measure was defeated yes.
terday when amendments seeking TO
increase its inheritance tax rates were
moved down after long and sharp de-
bate. The bill cuts the maximum in
heritance rate from 40 to 20 per cent
and increases from Is to so per cent
the credit to be allowed in settlement
Of the federal tax of the amount paid
on state inheritance taxes.
TARIFF CUTS SOUGHT.
During consideration of the inner.
itance tax, repeal of which has been
advocated by several state tax clubs,
Representative Blanton, Democrat,
Texas, declared he would not support
demands of the Texas club. He
charged that Frank w. Mondell of
Wyoming, former Republican leader
Of the House, had organized tax clubs
throughout the country and now was
appearing as a lobbyist"
Reductions in all cigar taxes also
were up for approval today as were
the proposed repeal of levies on jew
elry, cameras, Photographic films and
plates, firearms and ammunition,
works Of art, coin-operated devices,
smokers articles and nah jongg sets.
