Lichliter, platform manager and Bible lecturer, declared for a modern interpretation of religion and the Bible, a subordination of creed to life, a union of all who believe in Christ into a greuter church, and urged that the supreme task of organized religion is social construction. His lecture was called "The Creed of the Uplifter." "I believe that religion should be interpreted in the language of today. We ask for modernity in everything else. If a red-blooded boy Is asked to choose between the Bible and his mi croscope, he will choose the latter. We must teach him that the two need not conflict." LET FUND CONTRACT Contracts have been signed by the Commercial club with the Town Development company, New York city, for that company to furnish expert managers for the campaign for raising $100,000 capital for the newly organized Industrial Development association.
