REFUTE STAND BIBLE STUDY STRIKES FAITH Investigation Committee Reports Adverse Criticism of Earlham Unfounded. PRAISE DR. PURDY’S AID
Special to The Times. RICHMOND, lud., March 26.—Adverse criticism of the teachings at Earlham College is unfounded, a committee appointed to Investigate the doctrines being taught there reported to the board of trustees of the college at Its annual meetiug today. The investigation came as a result of action at the annual session of 1920 of the Indiana and Western Yearly Meetings. These two meetings have jurisdiction over Earlham College. A committee of ten, consisting of'five members from each meeting, questioned the college s teachings. The testimony of this committee, summarized, as as follows: 1. That some of the teachings in the Biblical department contravene the authorized standards of the Discipline and the Richmond Declaration of Faith; that they do not accord with the teachings of Scripture in certain respects, and that such teaching tends to destroy faith in the character of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. That what was charged as the “unproved evolutionary hyposesis” Is taught lu the scientific departments. 3. That the attitude of the head of the department of philosophy with reference to Christian fundamentals, such as the new birth, experimental conversion, etc., is questioned. As against the charges made by the Committee of Ten and also certain quotations read from letters written by other people, Dr. Alexander C. Purdy of the Biblical department, gave the committee a careful presentation of his teaching, together with his methods of teaching, presenting the notes and the outline used in the classroom upon the various subjects in controversy. DK, PI'RDY IMPRESSED COMMITTEE AS CLEAR. The committee says In its report “In his entire testimony, Dr. Purdy impressed onr committee as being clear, open, unevasive, thorough and convincing. At every point he evinced not only an honest desire to meet every question raised, but & purpose to speak so plainly that his meaning might not be misunderstood. “On his own testimony we find that Dr. Purdy does believe in and teach the fundamental Christian doctrines of “Predictive prophecy,” “the new birth," “the virgin birth of Jesus,” ••Miracles,” “the diety of Jesus,” “the resurrection,” etc. As to differences between the complainants and the college upon the questions involved the committee’s report •ays “we are forced to the conclusion that the differences a.re in large part due to differences in phraseology or to misunderstandings, or to questions which involve only technical theological definitions, and which do not endanger any vital spiritual doctrine, or the creditability of the Scriptures.” As to the scientific teachings the committee found that it was “frankly admitted at Earlham College that theistlc evolution is taught there, that God Is the author of the whole system of creation and that his constant care has been exercised over it from the beginning until now. “The college management claimed,* the report says, “that this teaching not only accords with the best scientific standards of the present day, but also makes God more realistic to the Individual searching after Him. and that it gives a final conception of his majesty and his power. In referring to the process of creation. Professor Markle of the science department described Earlham College’s position as follows: Instead of believing that it is a mere mechanical process entirely apart from God. we believe that it is merely the workings of God through nature. COLLEGE MIST BE OPEN MINDED. The folowing statement is brought out by the committee: “Earlham College, as a standard educational institution, cannot be rightly expected to suppress the facts of science, or the theories of science comoniy held by Christian educators, neither can it reply satisfactorily to the honest questionings of the masses of young men and women who come to the institution for instruction by saying that the scietlflc course is not a in theology and does not have tv account for theological interpretations. Both theology and science must be taught in agreement, or the teachings are bound to produce doubt and infidelity Real science and real Christianity do not disagree, for God is the author of them agth.’’ Ne findings of the committee in regard and Biblical department is Q [ \ up as follows: “There were & \timonles to the effect that the teaci --Art Earlham College, both in the sciene* 0 kid BlblicSl departments, had establi,-\yV c \faith and Christian character more t 1 and that the Bible had become Hi _ e vslistie as a spiritual guide with a personal spiritual message.” DIBCFSB DR. COrFIN’S TEACHINGS. As to the tenabllity of the teaching of Dr. J. Herschel Coffin in the philosophical department the committee says “Dr. Coffin not only avows his belief in conversion, bnt adds that ‘every man who is converted knows It by the witness of the Bpirit in his own soul.’ He gives an absolute affirmative response as to bis belief in the atonement made by the sacrifice of Jeeus. but adds his conviction that His sacrificial life is the essential factor in His atonement. He expresses his disbelief in ‘human depravity.’ There is nothing in Dr. Coffin’s presentations* of bis position that will lead us to believe that he does not accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.” The committee closes Its report by saying Indiana and Western Y'early Meetings should not expect Earlham College to be the exception In its Biblical and scientific teaching, unless it can be clearly shown by direct and ahoundant evidence that its present methods of teaching are bringing about the unsettling of Christian faith and character on the part of Earlham’s students and unfitting them for the work of the churches. “In the face of the evidence produced,” the report adds, “as to the Christian character and exi*>rience of students at Earlham College, and taking Into consideration the testimony of many of them to the effect that both the life and teachings at Earlham have tended to establish their Christian faith, and, In many instances. to bring about an awakening of the Christian life, we are not able to feel that there is any need of anxiety on the part of the membership of Indiana and Western Y'early Meetings relative to the religious status and teachings of the college.”

GREAT BRITAIN DECIDES ON HER PLAN OF ACTION Negotiations to Be Opened With Harding Regime Over World Affairs. GEDDES MISSION HEAD WASHINGTON, March 26.—Great Britain has decided tentatively on the program she will follow In negotiations to be opened shortly with the Harding Administration, advices reaching Washington today Indicated. England, in approaching the United States on questions of world policy, apparently will observe these decisions: 1. Proposals to the new Administration will be guided so far as possible by the reaction which follows the visit here of Rene Vlviani, former French premier. 2. Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, likely will be designed to head the British mission to Washington. MOVEMENT FOR DISARMAMENT. 3. I’nlese the United States indicates she is ready to inaugurate a movement for world disarmament, England may take the initiative and suggest a disarmament, England may take the initiative and suggest a disarmament conference. 4. Britain will consent to the elimination of article ten from the League of Nations, but will urge that the main body of the covenant be retained. She will not go as far as France In modification of the league. Advices Indicate that England will not send any envoys to this country until the French mission is completed. She will observe the outcome of Viviani’s visit, hoping to profit by the lessons in the contact with the Administration. GEDDES TO BE GIVEN SUPPORT. Geddes, it is understood, will be named to bead the Britain mission, lest a special commissioner from London might seem to undermine the ambassador's position here. Geddes, however, will be supported by a naval officer, a military man and, possibly, other aids who will be sent from London. It Is reported Britain is becoming Increasingly eager to open a disarmament discussion. According to advices from London, she does not appreciate the movement In this country to pursue the naval building program when Britain has Just announced a cut in her naval appropriation. It is declared that while England would prefer to see a call for a disarmament conference come from Washington, she will not hesitate to start such a movement herself if It becomes apparent the United States does not Intend to act. This sentiment may be conveyed to President Harding after the Britons have completed their formal pleasantries. SHELTON ASKED TO VACATE JOB BY GOV. M’CRAY (Continued From Page One.) his services before and since the election as mannger and advisor. The State purchasing board Is made tip of representatives of each of the State Institutions and has as Its duty the purchasing of supplies for the institutions. It may employ what help It desires, but salaries are subject to the approval of the Governor. BOARD ORGANIZED BY GOV. GOODRICH. The board was organized under the Goodrich administration and Mr. Shelton was appointed by Goodrich. At the last session of the Legislature a movement was started at one time to bring about the abolishment of the board. The statement was made that at times the board had purchased inferior products and that at other times prices to institutions were higher than current market prices. If Mr. Shelton should decide not to heed the Governor's request to resign, as was indicated by both himself and the Governor, there are a number of ways In which the resignation could be forced Mr. Shelton Is responsible to the Governor only Insofar as the Governor must approve his salary. Charges may be brought through which removal could be forced or tho board might demand the resignation.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS IN CITY THIS WEEK. It is probable that the Governor has gone over the situation carefully with at least some of the members of the board. The purchasing committee was In Indianapolis this week for the purpose of considering proposals for the purchase of supplies and a number of them visited the Governor. The possibility that the Governor may have some difficulty In making removals at the Stntehouse recalls the trials experienced by Former Governor Goodrich when he undertook to remove Edwin Lee as a member of the public service commission on the ground that his political affiliations were not right. The removal was accomplished only after a bitter fight. The resignation of Mr. Shelton Is the third asked for by the Governor so far as Is known. The first was that of I’aul P. Haynes as a member of the public service commission and the second that of Miles Scheaffer as Insurance commissioner. The Indication that Mr. Robinson Is to be appointed to succeed Mr. Shelton relieves the minds of a large number of persons about the Statehouse, who are circulating various stories to the effect that he Is to be rewarded by appointment to almost every position In the State. The finding of a berth for Mr. Robinson settles the future activities of one of Governor McCray’s campaign managers. There still remains to be found a place for Lawrence Lyons of Brook, the other manager. It Is generally reported that he will be made director of the State highway commission. Mr. Shelton's home is In Rochester and Mr. Robinson's in Crawfordsville.
GOVERNOR’S LETTER TO MR. BCAEFFEK. The Governor wrote Mr. Scheaffer the following letter: “I have decided that I wish another person to fill the position now held by you. I therefore desire your resignation, the same to become effective April 1, 1921. “Thanking you in advance for your acquiescence to this request, I am, “Very truly yours, “WARREN T. MeCRAY.” Mr. Scheaffer’s reply follows: “I am herewith handing you my resignation as commissioner of insurance of the State of Indiana, effective March SI. “Permit me to extend to you and to my successor my best wishes for a successful and efficient administration of the insurance business in Indiana.”

Nude Figure, Declared ‘Art’ After Threatened Court Action, Again Center of Controversy
Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, ‘Blue Sundaif Advocate, Starts Discussion Anew. NEW YORK, March 26.—1 t may be a paradox, but the “Pagan” was today the center of a religious discussion. That is, art circles religiously discussed the comparative artistic values of marble, bronze and canvas ladles, done in the “altogether”—or, rather, “nothing together,” and those fair damsels of the brush and chisel whose creators swath their undulating curves in the latest famous Lucile, or Maison Maurice. The “Pagan," one will remember—and one will remember it even after a mere passing eyefull—created a storm here recently when it was temporarily barred from an art exhibition because the lady insisted that the room was warm and refused to go home for a wrap. Charles Cary Rumsey, Its sculptor, threatened court action. The directors of the exhibition, possibly anticipating a free for-all battle among the grave judges of law and order and incidental "Pagans” for jurisdiction over the case, decided finally to allow the lady admittance. She came. An the storm home-brewed. THEN NOTED ARTISTS COME IN FOR HEARING. Then, yesterday the heaven-colored statues changed a shade more Indigo in the form of Dr. Wilbur F.* Crafts, who launched a blue vitriolic attack upon the beauty of the nude. The quiet "Sabbath advocate” said that In bis opinion the draped figure was by many gabardines far more artistic and worth feasting on than the form of minus mackintosh. The gale galed harder when noted artists read what the doctor had to say about exposed-to-pneumonla ladles. Cries of “Pity the undraped masterpieces on a night like this," could be almost heard. “That talk about draped being more artistic than the nude is sheer nonsense,” Francis Jones, figure painter and treasurer of the National Academy of Design assured. "Greek art, undraped, is the most beautiful of any the world has known. Something Is the matter with a man's brain If he cannot see anything other than the vulgar In nude works of art. Something Is wrong with his mind

RICHMOND, Ind., March 26.—Recommendation by the American Legion that one of the five Government hospitals for disabled veterans be located at Ft. Beniamin Harrison has put a damper on hopes of Richmond citizens that one of the institutions would be located here. E. M. Campfleld of this city recently submitted an Inquiry to Senator James E. Watson as to the possibilities of having one of the hospitals located here. Sevgjal days ago Mr. Campfleld was advised through the offices of Representative Elliott to have recognized civic organizations of Richmond, submit proposals to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the surgeon general of the United States public health service. It was pointed out to Mr. Campfleld that the Federal Government owns no land in or near Richmond on which the hosiptal could be located, ns is the case with Indianapolis. It Is stated that it Is not the purpose of the Government to invest any part of the money appropriated by the Government in sites, thus Richmond’s chances are considered slitn here today.
