Following are the returns for the principal centers with percentages of change from the cor responding week last year: Atlanta’s pulpits became a forum Sunday for discussion of the Searcy- Bush bill, enactment of which would force the regular reading of the Bible in Georgia’s public schools. Many sermons revealed that the preachers are divided ofi the subject. The bill has had a stormy career since its purpose was discovered. It aroused ltttle debate in the Educa tional Committee of the Senate, and was reported out favorably. As soon as Its text became known, however, a delegation of clergymen visited the committee and started the agitation. Dr. C. W. Daniel of the First Bap tist Church, Dr. H. M. DuBose of the First Methodist Church and Dr. Dun bar Ogden of the Central Presbyte rian Church, favor passage of the measure which has been recommitted to the consideration of the committee. Dr. John E. White, of the Second Bap tist Church, preached In opposition. Objects to Making Edible Bludgeon. Dr. White protested against "mak ing Jesus king by force.” He declared the principle of compulsory Bible reading in the schools was the same which Christ Himself rejected near ly 2,000 years ago when the populace sought to take Him and make Him temporal king. “The objection to this bill is not met by eulogies of the Bible,” he said. “It is, rather, that the State, being a political institution, can not, with out violating its fundamental char ter and without exceeding its estab lished function, make the Bible the Instrument of compulsion and the weapon of force/’ Daniel’s View Opposite. Dr. Daniel, taking a stand directly opposite that of Dr. White, asserted that the State was bound to furnish the students of the public schools a knowledge of the Bible because the Bible is the source of all that is best in English literature and has fur nished the moral basis of civiliza tion. Dr. Ogden preached for the bill, but recommended an amendment permit- | ting children whose parents objected to the reading to be excused while the Bible was being read. Dr. DuBose declared the use of the Bible was Just to all sects, and that its reading in the public schools was essential to the future of the State and nation. MAD DOG BITES BROKER. GREENVILLE, S.
