instead he took a chair in Cornell
University and taught Hebrew and
Oriental languages for two years.
In 1876 he settled in New York

he became leader and regular

Laymen Urged to Wage Ma

True Meaning of Bible.

The surest way to eliminate funda-
mentalism and put an end to sec
tartan attacks on scientific facts is
to wage a national campaign of edu-
cation to teach "a rational conception
Of the true meaning of the Bible.
Rev DR.. Frank w. Pratt of Rich

vention of the Unitarian Laymens
League. meeting last night in All
Souls Church, Sixteenth and Har'
ward streets.
The entire session was devoted to
discussions OF THE Problem OF Re

besides DR.. Pratt. Rev. DIR. Samuel
MoChord Crothers Of Cambridge
represented the Unitarian Laymens
League in the famous Tennessee evo-
luton law case. spoke to the subject.
Not Confined to South.
DR.. Pratt pointed out. at the outset,
that fundamentalism is not confined
to the South. He said DR.. John
Roach Straton has declared in New
York that all schools had better be
wiped out than 10 permit the theory
of evolution TO be taught, that scien-

he said, takes its religion seriously.
The Copernican theory did not strike
so vitality at the foundations OF the
Christian religion as that of evolution
The Southern folks believe that the
Christian church is based on the fall
of man. And If there was no fall. as
evolution would prove. then he be
lieves that the whole scheme of sal

1.-The best way to overcome this stu
alton is to start a fight--not only In
the South but throughout the Coun-
try-to teach a rational conception of
the Bible. This association should be

Once that is accomplished. there will
