Judge to rule on Jonah tale in Bible College case
Judge McKhinney of the St Louis County Circuit Court will decide next September whether the Bible College of Missouri must pay Rev. Gustave A Hoffman on a $5000 note. Hoffman contends the college teaches the Jonah swallowing tale as myth and questions Moses authorship, risking a broad church division. Hoffman will seek depositions from church authorities to support his view that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Property and Faith Bases of Presbyterian Suit
Booneville Mo June 10 A special session of the circuit court with Judge W H Martin presiding hears an injunction suit over a venue from Warrensburg involving United States Presbyterians and Cumberland Presbyterians. The dispute centers on property use of a Warrensburg church and the union basis from 1903 declaratory statement. The Cumberland party contends the statement fails to reconcile confessions and that the general assembly had no authority to transfer Cumberland property. The judge will take the case under advisement and an appeal to the supreme court is expected regardless of outcome.
