NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 5 1930. - PRAYERS FOR RAIN_ DECLARED FUTIE Pew Preachers Uphold Idea in Chicago Symposium Chicago, Sept. 5 (UP)—Prayers for rain are futile, in the opinion of a majority of prominent Ameri- can clergymen who tooK part in a symposium conducted by the maga- zine Christian Century.” One fundamentalist leader, Di. Mark ‘Mathews of Seattle, declared that God had answered prayerS fdr rain in Biblical days and that he could do it again if he so desired Another answer on the positive side came from Dr. James M. Gray. president of-the Moody Bible In- stitute of Chicago. He upheld the possibility of divine intervention i meteorological affairs by declaring " that since God made the weather he also could change it. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of New York, John D. Rockefeller’s pastor, led the doubters. “No fmaginable connection e between a man's inward attitude and a rain storm Fosdick. He pleaded for an aban- donment of ‘“crude, obsolete super- paturalism in this benighted and uncivilized country.” Dr. W. P. Lemon of Minneapolis called praying for rain an attempt to involve God in "a cooperative scheme to maintain present Anm can living standards.” It is he said. too much like asking God to sena an earthquake to aid, an excavatic or a hurricane to complete a wr ing job. V.F. W, DELEGATES ILL AFTER LUNCH Convention Group Finds Heavy Food Too Much Baltimore, Sept. 5 (A — Several hundred members of the Veterans ‘of Foreign Wars and the ladies auxiliary, ill after a luncheon Wed- nesday on the grounds of the Naval academy at Annapolis, were suffi- clently reoovered today to laugh about the experience and blame their condition on heat, excitement, lack of sleep and injudicious eating. None of those stricken w seri- ously ill, attending physicia said, and virtually all recovered after tak- ing medicine. Crabs Blamed at First ‘At the luncheon one of the chief items of diet was crabs. At first these were blamed, but physicians today agreed their patients did not suffer from food poisoning, and an investigation by the Annapolis V. F. W. post indicated all food was in good condition. It was pointed out that the visit- ors have been getting little sleep, were eating irregularly and have been on the go since the encamp- ment opened Sunday. The menu consisted of crab salad, cold ham, hard shell crabs, pickles, rolls and near-beer, and on the boat trip back to Baltimore there was considerable consumption of ginger- . ale and ice cream. 500 Delegates 111 Nearly a hundred of those taken ill wereesmembers of the auxiliary. So many women were absent yester- day afternoon that a session of the auxiliary had to be postponed and Mrs. Bes§ie Hanken of Revere, Mass., president of the auxiliary, an- nounced 500 or more delegates were ill.
