Dr. Horace Calvin Day, biological
professor of Howard College, a Bap-
tist school at Birmingham, Alabama,
and so told the students of that in-
stitution and is now out of a job. His
resignation has been requested and
accepted. In a lecture on “Be Skepti-
cal,” Dr. Day is alleged to have told
the student body they should not give
a too liberal translation of the Bible.
Asserting that in his biological exper-
ience he had studied two kinds of
whales and found it impossible for
either to swallow a man whole, and
that no man could live inside a whale.
The young biological professor is
only 27_years old, an age when youth
conscripts all learning of the ages,
only in' later years to ascertain how
little they really knew when they
had acquired all knowledge. But the
young professor is not alone, for there
be others, even in the ministry and
professed followers of the meek and
lowly Nazarene, who take the scrip-
tures materially, and when unable to
harmonize with material concepts are
wont to doubt their authenticity and
thus deny the omnipotence of Diety.

spiritual teachings of the Bible with

After a song on the Edison, Mrs.
Lewis read a chapter, and Mrs. M. Y.
Stokes led in prayer.
Reports from all officers were cal-
led for, and some very good reports
were given. The treasurer, Mrs. Key,
reported the pledge paid in full, and
finances in good condition.
Mrs. Faires, as one of a society who
appreciates very much the untiring
efforts of its retiring president, Mrs.
Lewis, has had charge of a fund for ;
the purchase of a life membership in 1
the Missionary Society for her, and1
this was presented to her during the
meeting. She expressed her apprecia- J
tion in a few well chosen w’ords. j
After the business session was over,:
the meeting was dismissed with the
Lord’s prayer.
A social hour was enjoyed during j
which the ladies whose birthdays oc- j
curred in the last quarter served a!
delicious refreshment plate to a large ;
attendance. The plate consisted of i
wafers, salted nuts, golden glow salad, ’
fruit cake and tea. The hostesses were: j

* THE PEOPLE WHO SELL IT FOR LESS”
materialism may be credited the
theory proclaimed by the modernistic
idea of contradiction with the funda-
mentalists’ theory of literal accept-
ance of the Word as it is writ.
Perhaps both are wrong, in some
respects. Certainly there is nothing
wrong with the scriptures, and those
who interpret the Bible with a spirit-
ual mind find little to worry over, and
much consolation. One may find a
passage here and there that he can-
not indorse, for the reason he can-
not discern its spiritual significance.
But that the Bible, even from a ma-
teria] point of view, it contains many
beauties. Some one has said that a
donkey will relish every blade of a
bale of alfalfa, even though there
may be a cockle bur! in its center,
which he will leave untouched, and
man, even though he may be a mod-
ernist, should have as much sense as
a jackass.
