Mr 1 . Carleton F. Hodge, editor of the Assumption ', 111., Independent, which pap^r ia ruhniiigf the Bible-as a serial, is threatened with prosecution for publishing improper litprature. When ho reached one of the last chapters of Genesis in tho publication of the Bible on the weekly* instalment plan, Mr Hodge received a • letter from' a prominent official of the St. Joseph • County Savings Bank at South Bend,- Ind... informing him that the appearance of such "matter" in a'ne'wspapor was illegal, and he threatened .to start a lawsuit. Editor Hodge says he proposes to continue printing a chapter of the Bible each. week in his paper/despite this' threat. "It -is to chapters of Genesis and Deuter-
onomy that the bank official objects," said Mr Hodge. "H e wrote vie a letter, saying there were spots and places in the Bible ..that were not fit to be put before the public perusal. For my part, I' consider anything that is fit to be the basis of Christianity, and to be taught to the children in the Sunday Schools, is good enough to be submitted to newspaper readers along with news items of the day.
