professors without giving thorn any
warning that such purpose was con
templated and depriving one of them
thereby of the benefits which would
have come to him later of being
placed on tho Carnegie teachers' pen
sion fund. An investigation was
made by the officers of tho founda
tion into conditions at Geoige Wash
ington university and the executive
committeo believing, it was stated,
that tho university had not acted
right by the two retired professors,
and further, that the university was
trying to cover too broad a field with
tho financial backing at its com
mand, terminated its relation as an
accepted institution with the foundation."
A passenger train on a Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient railroad, was
blown from the bridge across the
Brazos river between Knox City and
Benjamin, Texas. One passenger, J.
B. Stafford of Crowell, Texas, was
killed.
ANOTHER THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY
The Baptist ministers of Chicago
have demanded expulsion from the
Baptist ministry of Professor George
Burnam Foster of Chicago. Profes
sor Foster wrote a book entitled
"Tho Friction of Religion in Man's
Struggle for Existence." This book
has created quite a' stir in Baptist
circles. The Denver News prints
from this book some of the objec
tionable passages. The pages from
which the quotations are made are
given.
"Theology is beginning to think
of religion and of God after the
analogy of the thought of conscious
ness and of the soul as cherished by
the psychologist." P. 13.
"I have the impression that when
the collective consciousness becomes
thoroughly habituated to modern
science our words, soul and body as
well as matter and spirit will drop
out of our language. There
is no such thing as a self-dependent
soul freely active or interactive with
in an organism we call the body,
just as similarly there is no self
dependent soul freely active or In
teractive within that larger body
which we call the cosmos. All this
Is a survival of primitive animism,
which populated the whole world
with spirits, demons, hobgoblins.
I mean that soul and body are
not two beings confronting each
other as independent and interoper-
ative, but that they are one being
giving account of Itself in a two
fold manner." P. 21,
"Nowhere is there such a thing
as creation out of nothing.
'God' works to bring things to pass
works hard and ploddingly as we
do, aye, experiences need and pain
and failure In work, as we do.
Strictly speaking, He makes nothing,
but lets things grow. Certainly He
lets man grow." Pp. 50, 51.
."The great trouble with us is that
our God is no longer ours. He Is
the church's. We inherited Him.
He is in no dwelling place that -we
have built. We have Him only by
tradition."- P. 56.
"Modern, experience would not
create the Trinity-God of the church
any more than it would create the
Messiah of the primitive Christian
community. Your religiousness is
not that you have a God, it is'your
God-making capacity. And in a
world strewn with dead gods the
question is whether modern hu
manity has, like the ancient, that
religious need and capacity from
which the bright consummate flower
of the divine can grow." P. 57.
"It was not Ingersoll, but JFe'uer
bach, in 1846, nay, in subsf.ann.A if
I was Lucretius long ago, and, earlier
still, Xenophanes, who said that tho
great discovery of this generation
was not that God made man in hia
own image, but that man made God
in his (man's) image. Psychologi
cally, speaking, that is quite true." 1
P. 66.
"Against this Protestantism of ex
ternal authority, the independents,
appealing to the internal authority
of the 'inner light,' or the 'indwel
ling spirit,' to the competency of tho
soul in religion, protested. Of these
tho Baptists were the chief. But sub
sequently even the Baptists fell upon
evil days, were catholicized and out
poped tho pope himself in tho deifi
cation of an external authority. In
our day, however, a few men, un
afraid of the culumny and ridicule
hoary weapons, these hurled at
them by insolent and quarrelsome
ecclesiastics, are seeking to recover
tho Baptist- position of tho autonomy
of the human soul, for which our
Baptist fathers fought, bled and
died." Pp. 73, 74.
"What is fatal to orthodoxy today
is that in sticking to its 'truths' it
has lost its truthfulness. Regard for
the sacred Scripture is a duty of tho
Christian; but to require assent to
its thoughts and commandments is
to lead into sin; and such require
ment is itself sinful. Grievous
moral injury is inflicted today by
the church in its insistence that men
shall hold those views to be true in
religion which have become false in
science." P. 77.
"Scientific theology, together with
the spirit and thought of our new

tively much smaller than tho cent a
