DR, GRANT'S VIEWS CALLED “NONSENSE Rev, Jobn L. Davis Discussel Deity of Christ and Yirgin Birth Rev, John L. Davis, preaching at the regular morning service at the Methodist ohurch yesterday morning, took as his theme, “Exalt Jesus Christ,” and on this text replied to Rev, Dr, Percy Stickney Grant on the latter's sermons questioning the Deity of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Birth, At the outset, Rev. Mr, Davis de- clared that the wh6l? matter of belief in the Bible, bellef in God, bellef in anything, is simply a matter of atti- tude on the part of the individual, If & person is looking for faults he is bound to find them-—sometimes he will brand as faults things that-are not faults, so intent is he upon find- ing faults, It is the same way in reading the Bible, the clergyman sald, L" you are looking for mistakes you are bound to find them, or at least belleve that you find them. On the other hand, if you exalt God and the teachings of the Bible you will find thereln a great solace and comfort. Dealing directly with the Dr. Grant controversy, Rev, Mr. Davwis left no He de- clared absolute beljef in the Deity of Christ and belief also in the opinion that he was of divine birth in a pe- cullar sense. Quoting Dr. Grant, who has been reported as saying that he based his doubt of the Virgin birth Lconform with the and Deity of Christ on the writings of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Rev. Mr, Davis branded this as absolutely fool- ish. Every writer in the New Testa- ment professes belief in both the Deity of Christ and the Virgin birth, he said, and added that in Matthew - really d you must try a Open alleys at the Casino tonight. ~—advt, A meeting of the ordinance com« mittee of the fire board will be held this evening to discuss changes to adoption of the two-platoon system, Vietrolas'and Planos, Henry Morans —advt.

April 1, work of demol- ishing the old structure will start. A| new Neil House is to be constructed on the site. It will cost $4,000,000, and is expected to be opened late in 4 The present building is about 65 years old, but William Neil's ,first tavern was built in 1822, on the same | site. In 1839 a mor pretentious hostelry was erected; Charles Dick- ens on his American tour was a guest under its roof and had something to say about it in his American Notes. Nov. 6, 1860, the night of the day| of Lincoln's first election to the presi- dency, the second il house was de-. troyed by fire, and shortly afterwards the present building was constructed. | Fifteen presidents of the 1'niu'xl! States have written their names on Neil registers. Andrew Jackson was the first. The signature of A. Lin- coln can be seen on the old books. William Henry Harrison, U. 8. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Grover Cleve-| land, William McKinley, William H. Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding are some of the other chief executives of | the nation who slept under the Neil's| roof, Five of these presidents made| the hotel their home during lesser terms of office. Additional famous signatures on the old registers are of scientists, authors, actors, artists and theologians., Wil- liam Dean Howells was frequently a guest, Other names include Jenny Lind, Louis Kossuth, Admiral Farra- | The new Neil will attempt to pre. |serve some of this historical back- ground. There will be a hall of the presidents, in which will hang oil paintings of all the chief executives who have stopped at the hotel. I similes of the registers are prominently displayed. President Harding wrote a letter of regret to officials of the company at the passing of the old hotel. He said among other things: “If windows were eyes and walls had tongues what a story the old Neil House could tell of the public life of Ohio and the nation for two generations.” HEADWAY IS MADE BY SPANISH HERE More Than 56,000 People Study- ing It in Universities to \Washington, March 12.—More than 76,000 persons are studying Spanish in 404 out of the 612 universities and colleges listed by the United States bureau of education, according to a report submitted to the governing board of the Pan American Unlon by the assistant director in charge of the section of education, Francisco J.

Already committees of teachers are being or- ganized through his efforts in the Latin American countries as a central information office for the students and teachers who wish to come to the United States.

So' that when Dr. Grant, who has a right to belleve anything he wants, says that he bases his belief on the Bible, he is talking nonsense, Rev. Mr. Davis said. Rev Mr. Davis expressed the opin- fon, however, that Dr. Grant and his views are not' worthy of argument; that the pdramount thing in every- body’s life is faitl and with Christian- ity comes faith that is all enveloping. Taking up the Bible, the minister said that because a person does not be- lieve in one especial part, or because he thinks one particular part has been proved wrong, is no reason to dis- believe it all. Without it there is nothing. With it ,there is everything. In conclusion, he recjted an incident in the life of Benjamin Franklin. The great American had received a copy of a book by a great European unbe- liever and after reading it, sent it back with a brief note appended to the effect that if, with' Christ, the world is as bad as the writer had pic- turned it, what would it have been without Him?
