lief s and Conceptions
CLEVELAND. May 30 (By the
AP.) Bishop William Brown, tes
tifying in his own defense late to
day before the trial board of the
Protestant Episcopal house of
bishops, reaffirmed his belief in
"every word in the Bible the
book of common prayer, from cov
er to cover and each and every ar
ticle of the apostles and Nicene
creeds. ,
Bishop Brown acknowledged
authorship of the book on which
he was presented to the court and
admitted himself a "heretic," sym
bolic interpretation "of the whole
Christian religion, was given as
the reconciliation of his attitude.
Bishop Brown took the stand
amid a stir of interest in the
crowded hall of Trinity cathedral.
He gradually led up to his dec
laration of faith, starting with his
ordination to the ministry in
1883. . . " ,
Mr. Shartz brought out that
when Bishop Brown went to Ar
kansas there were only a dozen
parishes In the diocese and that
49 churches and 29 rectories had
been built during his term. Asked
why he resigned. Bishop Brown
said: : j.; .x ;
, "Arkansas was a very hard dio
cese. It Involved a great deal of
traveling and the climate was bad.
I contracted nervous dyspepsia and
was ordered to rest for two years."
It was during this two years, he
said, that he became prey to the
doubts which finally led him to
liis present mode of thought.
, Previously he had, at the in
stance of Bishop Leonard, present
head of the diocese, lectured at
Kenyon college, his talks being
published under the title: "The
Church, for Americans."
He said one of his physicians
asked him to read Darwin, which
tie did. f
"I had preached against Darwin
but never read him," said Bishop
Brown, "but in that I. was like
many preachers. Most of them
think they know It all when they
leave the seminary." '
From Darwin, the bishop went
through Spencer and HaeckeJ. and
found he "was all wrong." ,
"1 saw," he explained, "that
Darwinism' had drawn a line in
history.. Before him was the age
of the supernatural. Since then
has come, the age ofnaturalistic
scenicism and there is, no possible
way of bringing the old world in
to the new."
The bishop said he tried to con
ciliate orthodoxy with his new be
liefs, appealing for help to church
men In many denominations, but
without effect.
"Then I began the study of as
tronomy and it upset my orthodoxy
completely," he said. "I found
that the 'firmament of the Bible
was but the reflection of sunlight
on , the dust in the air. L found
there was no place for the New
Jerusalem unless it was . placed
so far away that it would take
millions of years to reach it, even
if one traveled through space with
light at 187,000 miles a second.
Neither could I figure how I could
carry my natural body on this very
long journey through a tempera
ture of 2 i 0 degrees below f reez
lng." ..

Sets Terrific Pace !
Setting a . terrific pace in the

from fourth place and after a
speed duel took the - lead 'from
Earl Cooper at 445 miles and held
it until the finish. Cooper finish
ed second, 1:24 seconds behind

winner in 1922, eased into third
place nearly three minutes later.
The average of 98.24 miles an
hour maintained today s- cracked
the race record of 94.48 miles an
hour established by Murphy when
he won in 1922 The elapsed time
for the entire route was five hours

this breaking Murphy's record of
5:17; 30-79. i j ; ;
The first five finishers this af

and approximately $8,000 offered

not win any of he lap prizes, this
money going to Cooper, Murphy
and Boyer. Boyer got into the lap
money by shoving ' his own car
over the tape first In the Initial
lap. Cooper's lap prises were an
nounced as totalling $3400 and
Murphy's as $2800. j
Cooper's steady driving, which
kept him in front almost from the
start seemed to many speed fans
certain to bring him -victory but
tire trouble as the goal was near-
ed caused him to lag behind Boy

During the last 100 miles, the
pace became terrific, both Cooper
and Boyer driving at better than
104 miles an hour.J In his des
peration to regain first place
Cooper threw caution to the winds
and went into the ' turns wide

wrecking his car by skidding.
When he was forced to the pits
the second time within five min

biz nrlze vanished. In addition to
