" (Copyrighted by the Sah Jose Mercury) -'. . r: The fierce warfare being waged by the so-called funda mentalists in religion to compel trie acceptance Of the literal Interpretation of the Old Testament as well as the New is developing into nation-wide, if not world-wide 7 proportions. Maintaining that the modernists or 1 liberals are; by (their new interpretations of the Bible and their acceptance of the doctrine of evolution and other claims of science, destroying the Bible and undertninine the faith, especially of r the will not. damn us for thinking for ourselves. The biggest hoax in the world is canned dogma." Rev. J. Kenderdme, a Methodist pastor, declares: "Christ himself Vas unorthodox and radical In His views and wa3 a sacrificial victim to the orthodoxy of 'His time, liven in tnose aays mere were fundrjnentalists the Scribes and the Phariseeswho made much of the letter of the law." '- - 1 ; ; t ' Rev. Flumps ti. usgooa, an episcopalian pasuur, wmiiu "the movement to ban the teaching of evolution from the public schools a dangerous precedent.? 'The next thing," Vio a v "mio-Vit be the banninz of teaching that the world is round, that astronomy tells truths, that gravity is a nat ural law, that polygamy 13. wrong, tnat slavery is rnisuuten. Prrtnf RihlA text could be cited - for each denial. The church's warfare with science is over, despite this revival of anti-science. And science is regarded as the nanamaia oi faith "by all the modern-minded faithful." - ; Tt Rev. Mr. Samnelsdn and the rest of the fundamen taliftta dismiss their fears that the evolAionists and mod ernists are about to destroy the Bible or religion. Let them take to heart the wise advice of Gamaliel to the Jews who were seeking to compel the apostles to cease speaking in the name of J esun bv Slavic ir tnemc "iteirain irom mesf raen and let them alone; for if this copnsel or this work be of men it will come to naught; but if it be of God, ye cannot over throw '''''''iKUiM-: ':;fV:..! -V HK : The New Testament will emerge fromhis contest, as from all those in the cast, with its great fundamentals un impaired. I -The srreat figure of the New Testament and Hi3 sublime teachings will survive this rumpus, and rise above all the narrow, petty and medieval conceptions of men. In deed, the contentions of the most radical modernist do not deny any of the f undamental truths revealed in the life and teachings qf Jesus. The radicals claim that they are ; only attempting to so interpret the Scriptures, especially the Old to uphold their contentions. Under the leadership of W. J. i zTzZZ.aini mth'ar that nmnle of education and intelli- Brvan thev are makimr an onranized effort in several states to induce the legislatures now in session to loroia tne teacn ir.2 of evolution in the public schools'and all educational in stitutions supported by, taxation; for example, the state uni- versities and normal schools and colleges. : Such a contest before the legislature of Kentucky recently ended -in the de feat of the fundamentalists, but by one vote only. ;... . A similar contest; is being waged in Minnesota. where " Mr. Bryan has been actively appealing to the religious peo ple to demand the passage of the anti-evolution bill. The clergy, as well ''as the laymen, of nearly all Protestant de- nominations are very much divided on the issue-and their ' ideas are being quitf, freely aired, not only in the press of ; Minnesota, but in the publications of other states-i The cbn- ,tcr.tion - of the fundamentalists is ? that "Christians ' must choose between Moses and Darwin." I Their feeling is well 'expressed in an eastern publication by Rev. A. Samuelson, a Xutheran' minister of Brainerd, Minn. He says:' "If the Bible stands for anything let us keep it. . If the Bible is meaningless, let us - throw it away. Let us tear down our ; topics and do v away with every sacred, institution that is l founded on the Bible, and let people grope in darkness,; for I a whils, and we: shall soon know where we; want to stand, vith ths Ecisatists or with the disciples of Jesus ". ; - " ' On the bther EandrJ the opponents 'of ? this ' legislation " sbir.st ecience see no menace to the Bible or to religion or to Christianity in evolution or "any other : scientific truth. ; Rev. Lewis jl Dunningtpn,. a Minneapolis pastor,Cputs it thus: "Truth cannot be legislated out of existence Exper- ' ience has shown that when misled men have resorted to such measures to put down ideas t which they do not happen, to crca: with,-the very opposite has been achieved. -Truth ; al- I v.v 7s wins in the end." : . .t" -!: ? Rev. G. E. Smith. Congregationalist pastor of Minrie Epc!i3, declares that "On the part of sane people Mri Bryan 13 re-arded as about as sound on the realities bf evolution ... ! il.2 principles of Christianity as he was, a while since, fc-:r.d cn finance." Rev Frank Ji Bruno,: writing from the University of llinnesota says : ?The agitation against evplu ll.i Lee about as valuable as entering the afield -against . windmills, for it will stand or fall on its own merits. Its rceureey i3 to be tested by the canons of scientific criticism, and not fcy the emotional appeals of a church or a group of churchmen." , ; ; . Rev; Vi- E. Dudley, another Minneapolis pastor of the Ccn;rre;rational denomination, views the rumpus as a passing '1 -3 of , our complex civilization, 'and addst.lThe world is rrc'-ing cp and we must discard our perambulator theories for heneet ror.n up convictions based upon sincere attempts to eitisfy rcarsn. Truth is immovable and triumphant. God ascertained truth so that people of education and intern eence mav continue to believe them without stultifying them selves. Whereas, as one of these modernist pastors express es it, "the effect of Mr; Bryan's oratory is to engenders the belief that if you want to be a true Christian you must re- be - msde , up : of portions of lbs four Gospels,7 the Book of Acts and the Book; of Proverbs.''; The American Bible society Is the pub lisher. This Is said ' to , be . the biggest enterprise of this ( sort erer attempted, ' There is no doubt whatever of its success, tor the low price-at which the book is to sell, and the constantly grow ing popularity of the Bible -even as literature merely will , com bine to kill all possibUIty of fail ure.
