CO. Candler Building, ATLANTA, GA. .!/ By REV. E. D. ELLEN WOOD, PASTOR UNIVKRSALLST CHURCH I N' every community there is a cer tain group of religious leaders who devote thsmeelves with as siduous zeal to the defense of the Bible from all enemtea, real or Imaginary. Their earnestneaa and unfailing watch fulness are certainly to be highly com mended and faithfully emulated, even If the method and the spirit of their welfare be not always entirely In har- mony with the manlfeet spirit of that religious life which they design thus to preserve and to foster. But It la certainly an open question whether this defense of the sacred lit erature as conceived and conducted In so many brains and from «o many pul pits and printing preasea, does not. In a great majority of Inatancea, defeat Its very object.' The reason la not very far to seek Zeal, unaccompanied by rea son and enthusiasm, unhampered by Intelligence, may for a time hold In the leash of superstition the soul which presses forward eargerly In its search after that truth which la the beginning of freedom, but ever the old restraint of the awesome regard of the unknow able grows less and leas powerful as the mind Increases Ita capacity for In dividual thinking, until filially Its burita the bonds of Its captivity and, swinging to the opposite extreme of the pendu lum, declares Its disbelief In everything which will not admit of physical proof and demands for Its existence In the human consciousness the active em ployment of that sixth sense which w* have named faith. Thus doe* the misguided xealot, who Insists that all men shall find In the Bible only that which his own study has developed and shall Interpret It to be and to mean, that which his own thought has determined, become In very truth the Bible's most powerful and most dangerous enemy. It Is a deplorable feet, mournfully re iterated In nearly every gathering of religious teachers and leaders today, that the study of the Bible Is not eo general si it was twenty-five year* ago. We are told that men and women are losing Interest In religious matters. I do not believe that this Is true, men and women are not les* religious. Their religion Is flndlng new mode* of expression, that I* all. And. If the study of the Bible ha* suffered somewhat of a decadence, It Is due not to any actual Indifference to religion, but rather to the attempt of overxealous defenders of the Bible to force those who would gladly read and value It for 11s true worth to And In It that which their rea son and extended study renders them unable to recognise. If a man of an earnest, studious «nd reverent mind find* himself utterly unable to any longer honestly accept a belief In the plenary Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, must It then fol low that tjielr power as a factor In his spiritual development shall be lost to him? Shell the matchless epic poet ry, the stirring dramas, the splendid outbursts of faith and hope In song and prophecy, the compelling Ideals of the decalogues, found throughout this In valuable collection of writings, the se rious literature of an ancient people, fall In their Influence to mold and shape hit character, simply because he Is no longer able to conceive thee* writings to be. In their entirety, the hi*' lory of the chosen people of God? * Here Is a man who believes that the Bible Is Inded the word of God, given by plenary Inspiration, and Infallible in every detail of Information and con- Jumbo's Mother Had Toothache And Delayed Big Circus Train Until Pair of Horses Pulled Tooth Mulljnnvllle, Ky„ July 21.—The Bret train nas delayed an hour at an early hour \Wdneeday morning a few mllee Polished Plate Glass tor stores.

MAY GET EVEN WITH UNCLE SAM By Private 1 .cased wire. I-ondon, July 21.—It le not unlikely that the quashing of the Indictment against Ambassador Reid’s chauffeur will be taken up In parliament in a spirit of retaliation agalnet the United States for the action of Massachusetts some time ago In dealing with the chauffeur of the British ambassador at Washington. There Is still much feel ing In diplomatic circles over the way the latter affair was magnified. There Is little doubt as to the outcome. Under the law of 200 years ago he could not be proceeded agalnet. “BLOODY” SEVENTH TO HOLD REUNION The "Bloody Seventh." which at the battle of Bull Run was brigaded with the "Gallant Eighth," the "Ragged Third," and the "Goober Eleventh” Georgia regiments, will hold Ita annual reunlofl at Roswell on next Saturday, the forty-fifth anniversary of the bat tle of Bull Run, which was fought July 21. 1«(5.

July 21.—The Cooaa river at thle point has already reached a stage of 1( feet and is still rising rapidly, and It Is now feared that It will reach a much higher stage than It did last spring when It went to 22 feet Should the river go much higher the loss to the farmers will amount to thousands of dollars, as the corn and REV.

Her* Is another man, equally sincere, equally pious, equally rever ent. filled with the same desire to know God, and eager tn welcome an Infalli ble revelation of Him, but who finds himself absolutely unable <n regard the Bible In the ssmetllght as dors his brother who accept* the Idea of Ita miraculous origin and Infallible char acter. He reads and studies his Bible often with more real enjoyment and profit than hi* brother, and finds In It constantly new and comforting revela tions of the character of his God: but. If you Insist thst he concur In a belief In Its plenary Inspiration and absolute Infallibility, or else declare that It Is a mere collection of myth* and traditions, a monstrous humbug, you place that man In a position where, because of the very Integrity of his Intellect, he Is much more than likely to become thenceforth a disbeliever In the teach ing* of the Bible and a scoffer at things religious. On the other hand, tell him that he Is privileged, If he so chooses, to consider the Bible aa a marvelous collection of writings, combining his tory, poetry, drama, prophecy, law making, myth and tradition, he will reail hi* Bible with renewed Interest, flndlng In It, unmistakably, a revelation from God Inasmuch as It trace*’ for him the spiritual and moral and Intel lectual development of a great f>*nple from ernes Ignorance and prlmltlvs superstition and low Ideals up to the place of herald of the world's Intel, factual progress, and framer of the world's standards. In all of this he shell recognise a true revelation of the character of God. Thus the Bible shell be found for him to be writ through by the hand divine, end he ahell not cease to give thanks to Him who hath nsver left Himself without n witness In the earth, that He so Inspired those mighty men of old to leave for us the records and results of their own ex periences. The Bible Is always Its own beet and absolutely Invincible defense, just as It Is always Its own most reliable com mentator. Inetead of Inflating that men ehsll accept a* their own any par ticular theory regarding Ita natur* and origin, would It not be far wiser to en deavor to remove all possible obstacles to an Intslllgent and profitable etudy of this sacred library? Thea* feverish zealot* who rush tu multuously to the defense of th< grand old book appear to have forgotten the comforting assurance of one eminently qualified to so declare, "Ye can do nothing against the truth, hut for the truth.” Let your* nnxlnus hearts he at rest, you little men who fear for the overthrow of Ood’a kingdom of troth and righteousness, unlc-e the in.esti- gatlon* and revelations of the "higher critic" shall be discontinued. If the lllble la not strong enough to with stand all the onslaughts which mar possibly bn made upon It by the puny Intellect of finite ninn, what stronger proof can the genffer find of its in.-It of divine origin and Infallibility'’ Be careful, brethren, lest out of your own mouths they condemn you. Be n«*ur*d that whatever there le of priceless value tn the souls of men shall persist, and shall grandly survive the most searching scrutiny and the most fear- lees analysis, no long as truth Is truth, and has Its source In the eternal heart of God.
