view of the claims of some that their belief in evolution in no way interferes with their doctrinal position: “ It is true that no evolutionist can consistently believe in the theological doctrine of our childhood primer, ‘In Adam’s fall we sinned all.’ For that doctrine there is no foundation in the Bible.” Where Harding Stands, The following paragraph, an utter ance of President Harding, would seem to be of first rate news value for Amer ican dailies. Can any one guess why the papers passed the matter up entirely and it remained for a little Baptist publication, “ Men’s Class” , to record the President’s words? This is what Mr. Harding said at a gathering of Baptist men: “The United States maintains diplomatic relations only with other governments exercising temporal auf- thority over recognized nations, anjd there is no more apparent reason for sending a diplomatic representative to the seat of one great church establish ment than to any other. Whatever our religious views may be, the government as such does not assume to maintain relations with religious organizations as such, and no reason is apparent why exceptions should be made to this long- mairitained rule.” The Unbibled Pulpit. The pulpit situation in England is shown in a récent statement from Dean Inge, who recently said: “ The dearth of candidates for the ministry is so great that soon there must come a sus pension of services and a closing of churches. ‘There is a grave danger in the Church today,’ a profound Bible scholar said recently, ‘that we shall have an unbibled pulpit.’ Before the war, an average of 688 Anglican clergy were or dained annually; since 1914 the number has not exceeded 150, «and the total number has sunk from 24,000 to 18,500. Taking the Presbyterian Church as a sample of Nonconformity, in 1900 the students for the ministry in Scotland numbered 214; in 1913, 96 (therefore it is by no means all a consequence of the war) ; last year, 80. So great is the dearth in the United States that there are 5,000 vacant pulpits, while the fall in theological seminaries is as follows: Among the Episcopalians, from 463 in 1916 to 193 in 1920; in the Presbyterian seminaries from 1,188 to 625; in Methodist séminaries from 1,226 to 976; and in Congregational institu tions from 499 in 1910 to 255 last year
