A1 BELIEF IN BIBLE MIRACLES IS NOT NECESSARY, CLAIM (Continued from Pago Ono) jnam.1 1 1 "I also pointed out that there are COO. 000 species of animul life. With what limited knowledge ot engineering he had. Noah could never have built a boat big enough to housti 1,200,000 animals to say nothing of a boat big enough to hold hay for tho horses, bones for the dogs and catnip for tho cats! "Think of the troublo Noah would have had catching the two mosqultoH or locating tiio two amo ebae. And think of his difficulty keeping the animals - from eating each other up, or placating Mrs. Noah if she objected to animals." ".Jonah Told a Gootl One" Dr. Day believes that Jonah "just got away with a whale of a story for having been ubscnt from home for such a long time;" and be doubts tho story ot Adam and Eve, doesn't believe that tho Hed sea parted Its waters so tliat tho Israelites could pass through, is skeptical about God's appearance to Moses in a bush and disbelieves the story of . Klljoh's -, ascent to heaven In a fiery chariot. "Naturally, I'll bo called every thing from just a plain garden va riety of atheist to tilings much worse with language much slrong er," he said.

On thut day In chapel, as he wus concluding his speech, Dec Gullmun, sophomore ministerial student, ruslu-d to the )lulforiit, snatched away Dr. Day's Bible, and began praying in a loud voice; "May the Dord have mercy on his soul." Then tho ministerial student turned on Dr. Day and, pointing his finger at him, said: "If you don't believe in the Bible, don't use It for your illus trations. Your doctrine is tearing at the foundation of our religion. If whut you say Is true, college means nothing, to mo. You have planted thorns this day which I pray to God you will some day reap." The meeting closed In a hub bub. Instead of singing "Abide With Me," tho scheduled closing hymn, the students sung, "The Haiti.- Hymn of the Kepublle." Inuring down hurt ou tho "Glory. Glory.
