Dr. Carl S. Patton found an even more enthusiastic group than at his first meeting when he addressed a large audience last Wednesday eve- ning at the Parish House of Christ church on the question "Is the Old Testament Qutgrown." Bringing the scholarly point of view of the theolog- ical seminary, yet with a sympathetic understanding of the 1 perplexities which religious questions have for the mind of the laity, Dr. Patton's dis- cussion last Wednesday evening on the values of the Old Testament went di- rect to the point of one of the great subjects of theological debate. Dr. Patton began by pointing out the changed conception of the Old Testa- ment which has resulted from the last fifty years of Biblical study, illus- trating his points by definite examples. Puts Pointed Question "While we still teach the Old Testa- ment in our Sunday schools," he said, "it is a fair question to ask how much of it has any religious value for the | present day. Are not boys and girls very likely to get from it conceptions of God and his ways of working and his attitude toward men which they will carry over into adult life, and {which will positively interfere with their forming of truly Christian con- ceptions ? "What have we in the twentieth century to learn from the religion of the ancient Hebrews? How can we treat, and how are we to understand such stories as those of the Plagues in Egypt, the flood, the long-lived patriarchs, the tower of Babel, the Garden of Eden, the ascension of Eli- jah? What can we say of the ethics of the Old Testament? Are its spirit- ual ideals those that we should hold for ourselves and teach to our chil- | dren? "And if they are not, why should we teach it at all? Has it any per- manent value for the Christian world of our time? Wouldn't it be better to discard it from our church services-- except perhaps the Psalms for litur- gical purposes? Why shouldn't we go direct to the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus?" Urges Question Box It is obvious that a lecture of this type is provocative of many questions and it is Dr. Patton's wish that as many of his audience as care to bring with them que tions which they would like to have him or the group discuss. The next lecture in the series is to be given on Tuesday evening, October 26, instead of Wednesday evening as is the case with all of the other lec- tures. Dr. Patton's subject will be "The Heart of the New 'l'estament," and he will speak as before in the Parish House of Christ church, Oak and Linden streets. The auditorium having been filled to overflowing here- tofore, arrangements have been made to secure additional space and the pub- lic is cordially invited to attend. ILec- tures begin at 8:15 o'clock. Mrs. Wyndham H. Channer of 562 Cherry street returned Friday, October 15, after a week's eastern trip. Carter Underwear Week October 23rd to 30th MOST MOTHERS are considering at this time, the underwear problem for the family. EACH member has their own idea as to the style of garment they prefer and in which they will feel the most comfortable. WHY not have a talk with the folks right now and decide on CARTERS' Un- derwear. ONE CHILD may feel the cold keenly and require a long sleeve, ankle length garment, while the more robust sister or brother will wear socks and want a knee length garment which is fashioned with short sleeves. The miss who will attend dancing classes should wear a low neck, no sleeve union suit. SOME MOTHERS cling to the idea of the separate two-piece garments for vari- ous reasons. Of these we also maintain a complete stock. EACH CARTER GARMENT is made in four different weights: medium, and heavy cotton, wool or silk and wool, and, lest mother forgets herself, as mothers are apt to do, we call your attention to the fact that for ONE WEEK ONLY WE ARE OFFERING A $3.50 SILK AND WOOL UNION SUIT FOR ONLY $1.69 CHILDRENS' UNION SUITS $1.00 to $3.50 . Distinguish the Best . . . from the rest. G. L. Backed by the experience of 50 years. ZICK & CO. Meyer Bank Building, Winnetka \ \ a A) \\ SN Q
